I've thrown caution to the wind as they say and purchased a set of lead type from an Etsy seller called Salvage Nation — the fonts and style and sizes will vary so there you have the windy part. Fortunately the random set was only twenty bucks. I'm excited to see if I can heat them on my hot plate and press into wax works. I'm feeling attracted to visual poetry again! Now if I can just find the time to experiment. . .and write!

I never tire of Jen Corace's illustrations. They are dreamy, sweetly strange and beautifully mesmerizing. I could post them for days, so best just visit her site or google her to find lots of places to buy her gorgeous work!

Thanks to Maga & Paga for the Valentine sleep over. The kids are crazy about the kiss me "boo-boo stickers" aka bandaids. Of course none will likely cover a wound, instead they are stuck all over our house and or used for hours of playtime funsies. xoxo
Lots of snaps of the ever expressive miss Vivienne while she enjoys herself at her friday art class. Vivienne seems to love it all, her exuberance for life is inspiring!
While wearing her favorite "jeeyish boo-boo" (aka Hello Kitty) dress Vivi added a ballerina tutu skirt and ballet slippers and danced in the shower. She now loves dancing in the shower and keeps asking when her tutu will be back from the laundry (t'was covered in jelly). She also likes to play sleep party in the shower and will drag in her pillows and nigh nigh blankets along with her baby doll collection, most of which are named "baby Tano" after her cousin Caetano. She'll ask you turn off the lights so she can sleep. Oh and shhhhhhh, baby sleeping.
Max and Willow played very nicely, well except when Max got too bossy about putting Willow in the dungeon or jail. Most of the time they just ran, ran, ran around peace plaza chasing and capturing each other. I had fun playing with the toy camera app on the iphone (as you can see).
