Font Crush: Dubtronic

Today I'm loving Dubtronic - a free commercial use font from Font Squirrel. The font can be used for regular type applications (like the quote up above) or get crafty with it and create penant borders (below). Fun, huh?! xo Ez

Inspiration Daily: 10. 25. 10

I'm not going to lie...things are a bit nutty around here as I work to wrap everything up for Gifted Magazine's debut in one short week. To stir things up a bit (and be a bit lighter on myself) I thought I'd share a few of my personal photos with you over the next week in place of the usual inspiration daily images I collect. I hope nobody will mind too much. Today's series was shot last Fall and reminds me to look at the world with a childlike perspective of wonder and delight in small things.  xo Ez

Etsy Finds & Faves: Treat or Treat

Hello sweet ones! I am so ready for the weekend, are you? I'll still be working like a madwoman to complete Gifted Magazine, but we have some fun in store too — a trip to a local pumpkin patch on Sunday and at least a handful of yummy Autumnal treats that I can't wait to gobble up (apple cider donuts anyone). Have a lovely Fall-filled (or Spring-saturated for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere) weekend however you spend it.  xo Ez

Nothing tricky about these treats:

• Simple Joy Fine Art Photographic Print - Chelsea Victoria Photography
• Kindle Sleeve - Rib and Hull
• Wool Felt Hair Clip Trio - Paperdoll Accessories
• Varied Thrush Original Watercolor Painting - Dimdi
• Orange Cream Lollipops - Oh Yum
• Autumnal Handwoven Scarf - Shielagh Tracey Handwoven Textiles

Table Setting Inspiration from Jamie Oliver

I've recently become hooked on the Jamie Oliver channel on YouTube. His approach to cooking and dining is filled with fun and personality, and best of all his videos really just promote the joy of being yourself at home and in the kitchen (no pressure to keep up with the Joneses - hurray). My most recent favorite of his helpful how-to videos is a short 3 minute piece on composing a table that is beautiful and functional. If you're one to fret and bemoan the task of table setting each time company comes over, or the holidays roll around, then you just might like Jamie's tips as much as I do. I'm feeling better about Thanksgiving dinner already!
