happyLOVEday.

there were no flowers or chocolates on my doorstep this morning, just more snow. i don't mind it as long as it doesn't interfere with my valentine's plans which include baking heart-shaped sugar cookies, eating them for dessert later with ice cream, and participating in a sister/cousin karaoke soiree of singing love songs into the wee hours of the evening...

{deep sigh}...jeez...looove...

...does anyone else find love the most elementary + basic of all life's lessons, but at the same time the most complex + advanced? i'm thinking a lot about it today...

...enjoy! ♥

February wishlist

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

This month's wishlist is coming from a place inside me that has been having interior decorating dreams filled with heart-shaped wall vases, white-on-white curtains and couches and linens and everythang, and is craving for the day in March when clock springs ahead.  Bold colors? Always.  Globby paint patterns? Yes, please. Big graphic calendars? A must!  Paint shape stamps? Genious.

What's on your wishlist this month? ♥ Scroll through past wishlists here.

Helvetica diaries // 03, 04, 05

Here are the third, fourth, and fifth submissions for my "Helvetica diaries" series, first seen here and here. Simply put: it's going to be a once-in-a-while post that includes a quote, saying, song lyric, or random thought printed out on white paper using black Helvetica font.  

Today I have three prints that would make great Valentine's gifts for lovers and friends if printed and framed.  Below they are available as free downloadable .pdfs if you wish to print the sentiment(s) for yourself or someone you know.  It's as easy as clicking the download link, and printing from your computer. In these prints' case, the size is 8x10 inches. 

Helvetica Diaires 03_Romantic

This first Helvetica diary piece is for the romantic.  The words are from a song I heard a few weeks ago called "I Was Made for Sunny Days" while I was in a shopping mall.  I can picture pairing this print with a mixed CD of love songs in which this song was the first track. It's adorable (and so true in this snow we East Coasters have been having). You can hear the song below.

 "I Was Made for Sunny Days" by The Weepies

Helvetica Diaires 04_Free Spirit

The next Helvetica diary print comes from the NONONO song "Pumpin' Blood." If you have a free-spirited friend who is maybe without a date this year, this print might be perfect for him/her. It references the heart - the symbol - of February 14th, but not in a cheesy way...and come on: those lyrics are great all year 'round.

Helvetica Diaires 05_Cynic

If the first print would be for Charlotte, and the second for Carrie, I imagine this one would so totally be for Miranda.  No, it's not a song lyric, but rather a quote from the great George Carlin.  I kind of love it. Try and tell me with a straight face that you don't know a handful of girlfriends who wouldn't love to unwrap this framed print next Friday along with a cute heart-shaped box of chocolates.  The thought of it thrills me!  (If you do it, LET ME KNOW! Haa!)
