Many thanks to CreateGirl for including my record player on her recent post about color (Behr’s Brilliant Sea). Be sure to check out her round-up of lovely blues on her blog! I am especially loving the stunning blue coat she included.

Ahem. Pardon the pun.

Typeface Love

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Because you can never have too many typefaces in your arsenal, I now want this one, too: Emmascript.
