Moveable Type

Look what's coming to Greenville! 

Moveable Type will be in town, courtesy of Power & Light Press, on February 16th, 2012. This is an '82 Chevy Step Van that's been converted to a moving letterpress studio. Owner Kyle Durrie travels the country teaching people about printing and letterpress - even letting them create their own pieces.What a fun concept. I love that people along the way get to learn more about the craftsmanship that goes into handmade art.

I'm obsessed with all things type, paper, and press, so I'm thrilled about the chance to try it out for myself. You should join me!

In the Oven

I've bought an embarrassing amount of butter in the past week. This was evidenced by my last post. I thought my mini baking craze was over, but then I saw this. Maybe it's Kate's designer-brilliant flashing box at the top and cute "recipe card" with such perfectly selected font, but now they're all I can think about. And thanks to my recent baking stint, I think I have everything on hand. This presents a problem.

Hi friends.

I miss my blog, and I miss you.

While John looks for a job, he's been helping out in my under-staffed office. It's super fun to have him around, and otherwise, we wouldn't see each other. This way we get to have every meal together, sit together in the office hunting down scores from Europe, and take turns sneaking home to let Herbie out. Throw in some baby bird saving and basketball playing with the festival management, and we've got a pretty good day.

xoxo,

Lauren

To-Do List

My To-Do List is becoming unmanageable.

I am moving on Sunday. Packing has barely started.

But good news -- I have a wonderful place to stay for the month of May while I'm apartment shopping!

Also getting pretty worried about being away from my sidekick for three weeks. :-(

Quiet Weekend, please.

Hi friends.

I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend with John. We have no plans, which is exactly what I want right now! Hopefully it'll be some cooking, some yoga, some movies -- bliss. Calm before the storm of packing and moving!
