It’s wedding season!! I love this quote and I think it’s the perfect sentiment to share with a new couple 💕 • This card (and everything else in our Etsy shop!) is 15% off until midnight tonight!! 💃 • • • • • #handlettering #handlettered #stationery #stationerylove #stationeryaddict #love #wedding #weddingseason #sendlove #paper #dailydoseofpaper #thatsdarling #darlingweekend #quotes #quotestoliveby #thesimplepalette #etsy #etsyseller #etsysuccess #maker #handmade #madewithlove #sendmoremail #sendmorelove

Spent this rainy morning cozied up at @hopscotchcakes, working on my lettering workshop and making summer plans for my little paper goods company! • Mornings like this feel like an indulgence, not just because of the amazingly buttery scones and delicious coffee 😋, but because as a Mama of two little ones I rarely get space and time to think and plan! (Thank you @princessputman For babysitting!!) Any other mamas in the same boat? 🙋‍♀️ • I’m so thankful for my summers off with my kids, but I’m also grateful for the chance to get a little time away! It’s amazing what you can get done in a couple of focused hours, instead of “working from home” all day and feeling pulled in twenty directions while you check your email and wipe up spills and dole out a million snacks, all while fighting that “mom guilt” for having a split focus. • My hope in scheduling out this working time is that I can also focus on intentional time with my kids as well! How do you manage your work time/family time in the summer? I’m all ears! • • • • • #momlife #mompreneur #makersgonnamake #plan #planneraddict #plannercommunity #startplanner #handlettering #brushlettering #tombow #coffee #etsy #makersmovement #thatsdarling #darlingweekend #morning #morningmotivation #morningroutine #practice #thesimplepalette #lettering #champaign #champaignurbana #paper #paperaddict

Oh hello 👋, anyone still there? I just got back from a much needed beach vacation with my loves - and it was so good for the soul. • The last couple months have been rough for me as I worked through changes and lots of uncertainty with my teaching job (more on that later) It was so nice to get away as the school year came to a close and just let it all go. It’s so grounding to stick your feet in the ocean and feel the force of something larger than life. It reminds me that I am a small part of something greater, and helps me to surrender to God, and all the things beyond my control. • Just wanted to drop in and say I’m still here - just taking time to rest and reflect. I’ve got lots of exciting things in the works for the summer, including some lettering workshops and more markets! Thanks for coming along on this journey with me! ❤️ (*I’ll be at the Urbana Farmer’s Market this Saturday, 6/16 from 7-12!)

I don’t always paint signs, but when I do, it’s for @allertonpark’s annual fundraiser! 🎉 Thank you Tom and Dave for cutting the signs and posting them so creatively throughout the park on pitchforks and shovels! • I had a blast at the Spring Soirée last weekend, as they kicked off their new capital campaign. It is always amazing to hear the impact that this beautiful place has on so many people. I can’t wait to see the community come together to continue bringing growth, amazing programming and accessibility to Allerton!

One of the perks of backyard chickens is always having beautiful brown eggs on hand for photo shoots! 💁‍♀️ (And baking of course! 😋) • I had so much fun the other day throwing together this sunny photo shoot for my new spring/summer tea towels! They had their debut at our spring markets and were quite a hit for Mother’s Day and host gifts! • Our new flour sack towels are 100% cotton and screen-printed locally by @weiskampscreenprinting! You can now find them for sale in our Etsy shop 🙌 (Link in bio👆) • #thatsdarling #eggs #ralphwaldoemerson #emerson #flowers #florals #peonies #cotton #gift #chickens #blackandwhite #thehappynow #floursacktowels #screenprinting #handlettering #handmade #madewithlove #darlingweekend #poetry #blackandwhite #kitchen #cook #baking #bakers #teatowel #teatowels #etsy #etsyseller #etsysuccess #etsysellersofinstagram
