This find is a little different then the usual Finders Keepers posts. Have you ever heard of The Fauxmartha? Melissa is an amazing tallented graphic designer and food enthusiast that just so happens to have the same alma mater as Jake and I! I recognized her profile picture on the Alt Summit facebook group and contacted her right away. How cool is it that we

Green Smoothie

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Food, Illustration, Recipe 1561 Views

There is quite the green smoothie fad going around. I admit I was a little skeptical at first; and I even like vegetables. About two weeks ago I came across a recipe for a green smoothie on Iowa Girl Eats. It had only a few (normal) ingredients in it and they were all things I already liked. So I finally

Fall has finally come around to our neck of the woods and I couldn’t be more excited. We had such a fun and relaxing weekend enjoying it! We went on walks, visited the park, headed to our little downtown for a festival and even went and saw Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie. It was fabulous. I successfully avoided going grocery shopping all weekend. I’m

Bow Tea Bridal Shower

I’m going to be honest here, one of the first things I thought of when my best friend Erika asked me to be her matron of honor was “oh boy! I can’t wait to plan her bridal shower.” I was over joyed to start brain storming wedding ideas and support her in any way I could, but her bridal shower would

The Basics of Herbs

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Food, garden, Illustration, Typography 2387 Views

Believe it or not the basil plant that I bought a while back is still growing strong! I’m pretty proud of myself. I’ve even put it to good use in recipes. Having fresh herbs are definitely a treat. Heather Diane illustrated a lovely guide to herbs and even suggests uses for each.

It was so nice spending the day outside and with our friends. While we were there we bought lots and lots of strawberries. They were so juicy and sweet we just couldn’t help ourselves. Then we

S’meaches

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Food, Recipe, Typography, Video 1173 Views

One of my favorite things about summertime is sitting around a campfire with friends and roasting s’mores. The warm gooey marshmallow and melted chocolate make a perfect pair. I would have never dreamed of replacing the chocolate in a s’more. That is until I saw this video from Claire Thomas. Beautiful cinematography, fun music and nice typography can be pretty persuasive.  Now I’m inspired to make a
