Run,Run,Run

After thrifting with my two favorite ladies Meredith and her kiddo Ellie we a huge field, and went for a run to get our sillies out.

I felt like Julie Andrew..."The hills are alive...."

Inside My Vintage Book Collection: The Sun Our Nearest Star 1961

 I posted a few clips on Instagram and had so many peeps asking for more peeks inside this gem  that I figured it was time to share the rest.  This particular book is in my top ten of favorite all time thrifted books. It contains so many the elements of illustration that I adore.

 This car is one of my favorites, many attempts of drawing my own version are in the works.

So much of this book reminds me of Mary Blairs It's A Small World Charles Eames Powers of 10 film.

Branching Out: St. Louis, MO

What an exciting weekend we had, all of us got to do some of our favorite things in different surroundings. In the middle of last week Papa of the house booked a hotel room for us, as a little family get a way...plus Arch Madness was going on and Pops was wanting to be around the hubbub of his ala mater.

Of course we stopped at all the little Goodwills along the way.

Mr.Eames has his own star in his hometown of St.Louis.

No trip is complete without a stop at some local record joints.

 CHOO CHOO!

There were plenty of road side gems to make my Instagram  feed happy.

Cheers,

Inside My Mini Moleskin

I love drawing and working with my hands, my husband is always encouraging me to draw more so I get better and better. One day he surprised me and brought home two adorable mini Moleskines and I haven't stop doodling since! Here's a little peek inside of mine.
