A Toast-Worthy Dress.

This upcycled dress, from Rusty Cuts, will likely turn a few heads at your local Oktoberfest event--which is great, because it's probably best to be remembered by your austere fashion sense, rather than your drunken loss of motor skills.

Theme Of The Week: Typography.

Written communication is more than just words on paper. Certain fonts can elicit an emotional response. Even point size can sway a reader's opinion. In short, typography dictates how your message is received.

"Lost and Found" art print, from Chris Waind.

  

While we're not typeface elitists, we definitely appreciate the artistry behind well-executed typography. More often than not, the intended message comes through loud and clear.

This week, we're bringing you our favorite typography-centric finds. Whether it's an industrial set of vintage letterpress numbers or an embroidered homage to the lesser-loved fonts, we're pretty sure you'll fall in love with the written, printed and forged word--one distinct letter at a time.

Shop Profile: Ink Whimsy.

Let's put it this way--the term "paper goods" doesn't do Ink Whimsy's Etsy shop any justice. With so many colorful and imaginative notebooks, paper garlands, recycled map envelopes and stickers to choose from, we're thinking paper greats may be the more appropriate description.

Vintage map sticker seals, $4.50.

This One's For You, Mom.

"A Hard Day" 8 x 10 print, from Amber Alexander.

Your mom has experienced her share of taxing days. Sure, you were a little kid at the time and oblivious to the stress your mom was under. But know this: making your lunches, picking you up from soccer practice, helping you with your school projects and keeping your hyper antics in check weren't easy. But somehow, your mom did it all.

So this Sunday, make sure you give your mom a hug and tell her "thanks". And while you're at it, bring her a bottle of wine and leave her alone for a few hours. She's earned this moment of solitude.

Who You Gonna Call?

Recycled felt pillow, from Alexandra Ferguson.

Let this serve as a clever Mother's Day reminder. Your mom simply wants to know that you're doing ok. After all, it's been a whole 4 days since she last heard from you!
