Scrolling through the latest issue of Matchbook Magazine, I discovered some of the note cards I designed for Jonathan Adler. I love fun surprises like that. It seems so silly, but seeing it published makes me go, "Wow, I got to design that."

One of the amazing projects I get to work on at Cheree Berry Paper.

craigslist find for me!

Usually, I am posting fun things for you to buy off craigslist, but this time, I am just bragging about a recent purchase by me! You would think I buy a lot of things off craigslist for as much as I search, but actually this is only my third purchase. Looks like all of my hours searching finally paid off. This sofa was an absolute steal. I have been looking for a couch like this for months. This one is the exact style I envisioned and I only spent $20.

Tufting. Check! Curved back. Check! Comfy. Check! Yellow. Check! Check! How could I not rush out to St. Charles in the middle of game 4 of the world series to get this? You have to be proactive when a beaut like this comes along.

Once I saw the couch in person, I realized it will need a bit of work. I will probably replace the worn towel-like fabric (though I love the yellow) and will need to repair/paint the damaged wood trim. All in all, still a good purchase.
