Font Crush!

Do you love fonts like I love fonts? I spent several thousand dollars on them last year, and I’m not even sure what the total has been so far for 2007. Don’t worry, they’re tax deductible for me (like that actually justifies anything). Plus, I need them! Fonts for logos, fonts for websites, fonts for stationery, fonts for new card designs, fonts because they’re pretty… OK, maybe that last reason isn’t valid.

Anyway. Point is, me likey some fonts. And now you can benefit.

Font Crush!

I’ve started with five free fonts: cantabile, fizzpop, ghostwood, pharmacy (as seen in the banner above), and woody. They’re rotating randomly with each page load. Look for them on the far right sidebar, above my wishlist.

I’ll add new fonts periodically too. Would you like me to stick to the freebies (usually available for personal use only), or should I include fonts to be purchased as well?

That was fast. I just ordered it Saturday morning!

p.s. Brandon picked up some flowers for me when he was grocery shopping. Isn’t that sweet?

I tried out a few lamps with Photoshop to see which one I liked best, but I’m still not sure.

Here’s the office with the new lamp:

Here’s the same lamp, but with a white shade:

"Chili" Lamp?

I bought a new lamp from Pier 1 yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s actually called “Chili” (I think that’s just the color), but it wasn’t on the website and I don’t remember what the name was on the tag.

I’m not 100% sure about it yet. Keep it? Return it?

New Lamp

It would be for my office. I love the lamp that I have in there now, but the power switch is somewhat broken and now it hurts my wrist to turn it off.

I’ve been thinking about getting the Lights Up! Nikki Table Lamp:

That one is $185 though, and the lamp that I bought was only $75. Still, I’d rather spend the extra money and get the lamp I really want instead of skimping and getting one that’s only so-so. The problem is that I’m not sure which one I want…

I just bought this print (via More Ways to Waste Time) from atwhim:

Girl With Skinned Knee

When my grandmother came over to see the house for the first time, she noticed a little something… I have a lot of prints of ladies. Not only that, but they’re ladies that are dressed like me, or have the same hair color, or stand in a similar fashion, and so on. “Is this you?”, my grandmother would ask over and over again.

I don’t think that I’m narcissistic, but I am drawn to art that I can ‘see’ myself in. I also like organic shapes, graphic patterns, and bold, modern florals.

What about you (all of you)? If you look at the prints and drawings and paintings you have around your home, do you notice a recurring theme?
