Things will be a big quiet around here for a bit.  I’ve got some work travel this week (so, actually it’s hardly a break…) and it’s my birthday.  Let’s pick back up on the 19th or so, shall we?  For now, here are a few things I’ve been ogling or reading lately:

• Budget Raygun: honestly, do I even have to explain this (via NotCot)
• Back issues of the Dummy Stamps newsletter
• Etsy Finds Decor: Natural History
• Anthropologie’s “Stacked Paperback” wallpaper (pictured above, via Design*Sponge)
• Snail Trails’ “retro rentals” and campers (via Uppercase Magazine)
• Field Notes’ “County Fair” series (pictured below). I’ve resisted the lure of Field Notes’ notebooks but this just might be the breaking point…
• The Radical Homemaker website (and a critique/response to it’s philosophy)
• The book Orphans Preferred: The Twisted Truth and Lasting Legend of the Pony Express

What are you all up to this summer?  Leave a note in the comments– I’m always interested in new sites full of pretty things, mail-related objects, or whatever it is that brings you joy.
