A Sign

I love this sign. It brings me back to a time of basement parties & beer kegs.
I can smell the wood paneling & dorito breath...
Then I wake-up & realize I have a husband, 3 kids & a minivan :-)

He made this little program that collects flikr letters to spell your words.
I might have to cancel all my appointments for the rest of the day...

Homage to E.J...

A dear artist/friend who continues to inspire me. Every day.
Where ever you are, I hope you are well!
Miss you, xxoo -h

Household Hints

Another archealogical find from my parent's house. I especially like the instructions for removing a linen stain.

Shift Freedom

I have an antique Royal Typewriter. On the lower right-hand shift key it says: SHIFT FREEDOM.
I dare you.

Back in the Day...

There is no question that my souped-up Mac Pro gives me a thrill, on a daily, if not hourly basis.
But who can remember the thrill of burnishing Letraset down on a cushy piece of paper with a two-sided thingy??!!!
Or the satisfaction of finding an em dash in the right font & size, on a saved galley from the month before?
(Thanks to Johno & Alec @ ilovetypography.com, for reminding me that YES, i DO still have a whole folder of Letraset, along with my beloved two-sided thingy.)
