I Heart Typography~


I can't remember a time when I didn't love typography, the art and technique of arranging type and type design.  It's been popular for a few years now, but it's so classic and clean, I can't imagine it will go out of style anytime soon. 


I tend to pick up anything and everything that has a number, letter, or symbol when I'm out shopping or junkin'. 

And I love to drink my morning coffee out my favorite mugs with my initials.
I picked up this sweet stamp set in a recent Seattle trip and you can see some creations with these stamps coming soon (April 24th - Angel's Attic).
I just pulled these keys off a typewriter and I'm all set to make some rings, pendants, and bracelets with them.
I could spend hours (if I had them) searching and downloading the hundreds of awesome fonts at dafont.com. Do you love typography too?

  1. I'm a dafont addict too. So many fonts...so little time. And typewriter keys, don't get me started.

    Love your header font, btw. Someday I when I have enough time to surmount the techie challenges I'll make my own custom "Meadowsweet Cottage" blog header with the font I used on my sign.

    Thanks for stopping by. I'm subscribing or do you prefer friend-ing?
