\"home-carsonellis\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Happy Friday! I’m working on (what I hope will be)\u00a0a fun sneak peek post for Little Kunoichi<\/a> next week, and as I was planning it, I thought of my favorite illustrator in the world: Carson Ellis<\/a>. My own drawings feel like feeble chicken scratches next to her masterful art, but I don’t hold that against her. She just released a new book, Home<\/a>\"\", and oh…it’s classic Carson Ellis with the luscious details and hidden gems and muted tones that feels so very Pacific Northwest. Like this:<\/p>\n

\"home-carsonellis2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is her debut as auther\/illustrator though she’s a veteran illustrator; in the past, she’s teamed up with her musician and writer husband<\/a> to write a runaway bestselling children’s series<\/a> (I hear the movie rights are in the works) and has illustrated some of my all-time beloved\u00a0books like this one<\/a>\"\". It’s one of K’s faves too.<\/p>\n

I have every intention of becoming friends with Carson even though she has no earthly idea of who I am. I feel the same way about Molly<\/a> of Orangette (who is also unaware of my existence). As a trio, I’m certain we can combine cooking, illustrating and sewing into a grand force of good — with some writing thrown in. My hope is that I’ll think back on this post in the near future and chuckle slightly red-cheeked about my creepy stalker-ness as I sip coffee with Carson and Molly at one of the fabulous cafes in the PNW. We need to dream big, people.<\/p>\n

**********************************<\/p>\n

K on getting older:<\/p>\n

“Mama, my life as a tween is hard.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I sympathized and told her it sounded like a good title for a book. That made her smile. What do you think?<\/p>\n

**********************************<\/p>\n

Off to get my weekend started! Hope you all have a lovely one!<\/p>\n

SVE gift’s here<\/em>
\nI knew it would be gorgeous<\/em>
\nabove and beyond*<\/em><\/p>\n

*My SVE<\/a> partner was Mirta of Modern Botanics<\/a> and you can see a glimpse of her gift(s) on instagram<\/a>. She crafts\u00a0charming and beautifully handmade\/handprinted goods out of her dreamy studio in Italy. Grazi, Mirta! I’ll feature more details later, because the gift deserves a full post!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
