Doves in Chicago
May 29th - Doves in Chicago (the Vic)…yes, yes, yes! Doves, if you’re not familiar, is a fantastic and highly underrated band from the UK.

My 2009 Easter Trio
I’ve got a whopping three designs for Easter this year. I’ve had a lot of fun and gotten into some trouble making them. All three are small batch gocco prints. Please enjoy!

Here are some flowered pretties I found while perusing Etsy today. I heart them all very much. Everyone put on some floral gear to encourage the arrival of spring! I’m sooo ready.

Doesn’t that look perfect?!
I hope everyone got up early for some Irish breakfast and a pint. I didn’t get to celebrate just yet, but I plan to go out in downtown Milwaukee tonight. We’ve got a ton of great Irish pubs here, so it should make for a good time. Cheers!

I guess I’m thinking ahead to bunny season, because I kept coming across the best bunny-ish things tonight. Here are just a few of the uber-cute rabbit friends I stumbled upon…
