Plant peach perfection. Canna lilies just feel like white hot Southern summer to me. Maybe they're the floral equivalent of butter peas and cornbread?
"Don’t just resist cynicism — fight it actively. Fight it in yourself, for this ungainly beast lays dormant in each of us, and counter it in those you love and engage with, by modeling its opposite. Cynicism often masquerades as nobler faculties and dispositions, but is categorically inferior. (...) Like all forms of destruction, cynicism is infinitely easier and lazier than construction. There is nothing more difficult yet more gratifying in our society than living with sincerity and acting from a place of largehearted, constructive, rational faith in the human spirit, continually bending toward growth and betterment. This remains the most potent antidote to cynicism. Today, especially, it is an act of courage and resistance." ~ I was reminded of this HUGE nugget of wisdom from @brainpicker by @statethelabel in my inbox this weekend. I needed to read them today so I thought someone else might too. ✨ Happy Monday my dears.
Dreaming of honey butter biscuits, and continuing to tell my girls it's ok to use this honey... it's not too fancy to go in our tummies 😉. #letterpress #bppstudio
To market, to market.
Find your light, and remember you may have to switch windowsills more than once to find where it is that you grow best. ✨ I was recounting some memories from childhood earlier today that prompted this thought. I was reminded of just how (to the core) grateful I am to my mom and dad for how they raised my brothers and me. Our home was a place of love, a place of encouragement and curiosity, and maybe just as important as all three of those it was a place without judgement. We were allowed to try on habits, hobbies, clothes, phases without the fear of rejection or a glance of disapproval. That foundation of unconditional support helps me to feel brave about my own choices and quiet my inner critique during those weeks when that voice of doubt resurfaces. I hope that this is just the kind of home that my husband and I are making for our girls. It's ok to try something new, make something new, do something new. Hell, it may make you feel something new. If it doesn't float your boat then you just got to learn yourself and your world better... not a loss just a lesson. ✨ Sending love to the people in real life and in this space that help me feel more creative and more inspired each day. We have the ability to build up those around us each day!
With bread, mayo, salt, pepper, and a napkin to catch the juice on your chin. #tomatoesarewhereitsat #letterpress #2018backyardgarden #nothingisordinary
Sneak peek at our 2019 calendar 🙈🤗🙈🤗! I love this part the process when something like okra goes from plant to drawing to print. It feels like magic every time. Hard to believe that the 2019 calendar will be our 8th garden calendar, and that I've managed to have a vegetable garden for 8 years (some years with far better success than others)! ✨ Also, I'm happy to share more sneak peeks as we print our new months, but I know that some people like the surprise aspect of it when they turn over each month. If you'd prefer things to stay a secret don't hesitate to let me know! #letterpress #bppstudio

Sometimes I feel like the ringleader of a rag tag circus, but these are the three women/ future women 😉 that I work for and hope to make proud everyday. This company might not have made it through my kids' infant years without my mom stepping up and learning how to print, and it's not something I'm going to forget anytime soon. I couldn't have a fiercer love for these ladies. #bppstudio
🍯🐝🐻. New branding work for one of my very favorite people @beecoapiaries. I have to tip my hat to Miss Mary- she continues to be curious about her own life and its potential every day. I'm trying to channel her wise adventurers' spirit more and more each day. Hooray for bees and the people who work to help them and share that sweet sweet honey with us! #letterpress #bppstudio
The fig tree I got for my birthday has two jellybean sized figs on it. Do I feel like I won the lottery? Hell yes I do! • This has been such a good year for fruit in general, and my family and I are not taking it for granted for a second. One of my favorite moments from the last few months was going out to the scraggly old plum tree on our farm (that hasn't produced fruit in 5+ year) to realize that there were 1/2 dozen perfectly ripe small plums that the birds and ants hadn't found yet. (I suspect they stopped checking it around the same time we did 😬). My dad got a rickety old wooden ladder out of the barn to tenderly get each one of those plums down while we all took turns passing the fruit around- sharing bites and savoring every little nibble. Emolyn and Gillian had never had plums before, and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction. • Good food is truly a gift and even more so when it is shared. #letterpress #bppstudio
