In the Studio | Pretty Ceramics
Earlier this week I received a batch of handmade South African ceramics from an editing client. I’m in love with these rainbow-bright bowls, and they’ve found homes all over my studio: nestled on bookshelves, on my desk corner… (I doubt there could be a cuter paperclip holder.)

Happy New Year!
Happy 2015! Time to switch out my Rifle Paper Co. calendars (I’m obsessed with this stationery shop). 🙂 I love the feeling of a new year and a fresh start. Looks like my new appointment calendar is wide open for now (although I need to fill in a few upcoming deadlines)—let me know if I…
