Blissed out

February 6, 2015 by Patricia

weekend-chic

Hooray, it’s Friday! I’m looking forward to a restful weekend just lounging around and reading! How about you?

I’m still basking in the glow of having been featured here.  It was the perfect ending to a what has been a stressful and busy week.  Thank you Grace!

She asked me what makes me a spoiled mummy. I tried to keep my answer short, so here’s what I said:

Oh, I’d say that I’m really lucky (and super grateful) to have a husband who adores me and tries to fulfil my every whim (at least those he can afford to give).  He treats me like a queen, and even helps me with house chores no matter how tired he is after working the whole day.   

My sons are also really affectionate, and I love them to bits! They understand when mummy needs to concentrate (like when I’m coding a website), and will play quietly by themselves.  They’re wonderful!

What I didn’t say was that I was blessed to be married to a man who knows how to make me happy.  And it’s not just about buying me expensive gifts every now and then.  He understands my need to shop and go out. He looks for new restaurants we can try. On the days when he knows I’m really busy, he offers to order takeout food so I don’t have to cook dinner.  How awesome is that?!

The truth is, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without the support of my husband and my kids.  And not only that, I have the staunchest supporters in my parents and sister, even if they live far away.

There’s so much to be grateful for this week. I hope you all have a blissful weekend ahead too!

The custom monogram forms the letters H and A, but if you look at it long enough, you'll notice the curves of the letter A forms a letter L - which stands for Lisa, the founder's name. 
We wanted the brand to look and feel premium but welcoming, as befits her years of experience and level of expertise.
The typefaces surfacing this week share a theme: n The typefaces surfacing this week share a theme: not serifs broadly, but a specific vintage register, letterforms with visible weight variation, a slightly worn edge, the sense that someone drew them by hand. 
The Ashcombe Hall has the gravity of a country house library, the kind of face you'd expect stamped in gold on a leather spine. Vintage Serenade moves looser, more lyrical, closer to something a calligrapher would have signed.
Design has swung this way before. When the Industrial Revolution made everything fast and identical, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement answered with ornament, with craft, with the visible mark of the maker. The clean grid had its long turn at the wheel. This particular kind of type, textured, hand-cut, carrying a sense of history in the strokes, is having its own.
The antiques returning to people's living rooms and this type returning to branding are doing the same work. Both are reminding us a skilled hand was involved.
