Tonal Tuesday: copious prize

Scholarly and serious without being boring & overworked. An enthusiastic student.

What’s making me swoon this week?

• Bespoke Press: amazing letterpress work! & they’re doing a HUGE giveaway of the entire collection of 10 prints to one lucky person. Can I get a hell yes?
• Pumpkin beer! I love the spicy sweet. My favorite of the moment is the Ichabod Pumpkin Ale. I am totally digging on seasonal brew!
• Cooler weather bicycle rides. I don’t sweat like a crazy person and there’s less bicycle traffic. I’m not a snow-biker (too much for me!) but the cooler temps are completely fantastic.
• Mushy husband.
• My two-year anniversary of Wardrobe Remix is today! I’ve really loved participating in the group. It’s done wonders for my sense of personal style, dressing for my body type and buying the right things that I really love. Viva la Remix!

What’s making your heart all atwitter this week?

A little older of a watercolor/ink drawing but something I still really like.
