Color, Type & Print: Perfectly Peach Photo

Having young children makes it difficult to concentrate on a task because they are always asking for something or needing you in someway.  As someone who already has trouble sticking with a task because my mind wanders from idea to idea, this makes it even harder.  This is one reason I love Pinterest.  It might make this problem worse because I am clicking from photo to photo, but I love it because you don't have to spend a lot of time to find something inspiring. 

I have been sharing some inspiring vintage things I have in my studio, which I think would fit well on my Pinterest Color, type & Print Board.  This is an antique photo that came in a package I ordered on Etsy.  It has fantastic typography on the back and a faded dream-like photo, not to mention the gorgeous color. 

Color, Type, Print: Deco Alphabet Book

I've been looking through many of the books on my inspiration shelf for things that would fit well on my Color, Type, Print board.  The illustrations by Peter Mabie in this children's alphabet book (The A to Z Book) from 1929 are just gorgeous!  I choose five of my favorites to show you here.

Cheer Up Old Timer

I love pinterest, don't you?  One of my favorite boards to collect photos for is Color, Type, Print.  It is filled with color palette inspirations, pretty vintage style packaging and floral patterns galore!  I started thinking about all the pretty things I have in the studio that inspire me the same way, so I thought I would start sharing them here on the blog.  These are some 1920's cards I picked up at an antique shop awhile back.  They seemed appropriate to share today, since it's my birthday!  I just love the designs and the greetings are pretty priceless too.  

I hope you have a fun filled or relaxing weekend, whichever you fancy.  I'm planning on doing some no-stress celebrating.  I like to go big sometimes, but I think I will save that for the years that I don't have a newborn.  Thirty was a very good year, I am hoping thirty one is just as kind.
