raindrops on roses and whisker on kittens

a few of my current favorite things



so, erin fetherston's collection for target comes out next week and coincides with my birthday, bonus present, but i couldn't love her more for including zooey deschanel in her last runway show. she's so dreamy with that little songbird voice of hers




i have a bit of a craft crush on small stump. i think they are the bees knees.

hello everyone!
i just wanted to let everyone who is interested know what the great lakes is
all about. I was one half of tennis, anyone? cards, a screen printed
greeting card company based in chicago, illinois, and now have ventured
out on my own to create the great lakes. if you were a fan of tennis, anyone?
don't worry, a lot of the same designs are still available, but so much more
is to come. i am going to expand with a lot of new products and fun stuff.
so, thanks for all of your support and please keep in touch and keep checking
out the blog for new things to come!
