board + banner!

i always get a little nervous before i start on a large scale project... looking at a huge blank banner can just be plain intimidating... but as soon as i start working on it, i fall in love. there's just something about doing something completely old school, without any use of technology, that is really magical + inspiring.

banner .....



a couple of weeks ago i painted a 5' banner for the splendid holiday vintage whites market; the banner was used as a photobooth backdrop... + i recently got word that jana [co-founder of vintage whites] is going to be hanging it in her house because she loves it so much!! makes me so happy!! [oh + those are my beautiful friends that so graciously posed for my photo :)]

board .....



just this morning i finished up the main board in the red caboose, and i really love how clean it turned out! i wanted to create something that would be super easy to read for customers, but still have a dash of whimsical prettiness.

..... p.s. thanksgiving is in 2 days!! i'm mildly freaking out... it came so fast!!! any good recipes or thanksgiving tradition goodness i should know about? :)

love to you friends!
xo,
ashley
