hat tip: jen vetterli.

Sometimes even the most basic of instincts is awe-inspiring. This week's 'hat tip' goes to Jen Vetterli, who created a Flickr collection dedicated to her mood of the week.

I love how I can tell exactly how this gal is feeling, what she's thinking. Art is a rare form of communication and Jen sure knows how to use it!

Thanks for the inspiration, Jen! Click here to see what she's feeling this week...

I was tagged by Abbey a few days ago and have been so busy I didn't even notice until today!

So, a bit belated, yes, but here are eight things I'm thankful for [just in time for fall!]:

8. High-waisted trousers are BACK, baby!
7. Voluspa candles, particularly amber-scented.
6. Method cleaners. I'm madly addicted.
5. Whoever invented the fire hydrant poo bags that I can tie to Bernie and George's leashes: they're RIDICULOUSLY handy.
4. Camilla Engman.
3. Deodorant.
2. My corner coffee shop, Saxby's.
1. My God, my family and my friends. [See, I'm not entirely vain!]

AND NOW, I get to tag four more people, yes? Awesome.

update.

Ooh, it's going to be an exciting week at DFM! Stay tuned for this week's Happy Hour: your guide to the BEST screenprinted t-shirts on the web!

Busy researching for a few hours [wish I was in the above library at the Viceroy!]; I'll check in this afternoon with more great design!

Today's my wedding anniversary [happy second to my dear!], so I'm checking out early. Or chucking out, as in one of my fave wedding photos from Gwyneth Colleen.

See you tomorrow! In the mean time, head on over to Grace's new site and wish her well!

out of the box: peter callesen.

Holy crap. This guy is INSANE. The above pictures? They're all PAPER. Don't believe me?

Check it out.

Awesome work, Peter.
