Vintage book illustration is a huge source of inspiration for me so I was so excited to come across these classics at our local used book store. Been enjoying reading them to the boys as much as the delightful art.

Virginia Lee Burton’s The Little House

Marcia Brown’s Henry-Fisherman

Thank yous–I owe more than a few. A while ago I came across this post from Not Your Average Ordinary and the photo stuck in my head. I’m a big lover of pretty printed note cards (duh) and always have some on hand. But I liked the idea of hand writing “thank you” on the front of a blank card as a way to say thanks casually yet personally.

I’ve been making these with some supplies I had around. Just unfussy enough that I don’t feel too formal handing one over to that mom friend that’s helped me so much, or to tell someone thanks for the great conversation and wine the other night.
