| SUMMER on SKYLINE with a BIANCHINI'S PICNIC 07.2008 |

Summer has proven to be productive and relaxing - and, incredibly enjoyed with a few of my favorite things. Though time spent on Skyline, picnics, visiting San Francisco (the city I LOVE), and cooking pizzas in backyard ovens have cut into time in the LOTUS & ASH office, they are all well, well worth it.

The past few weeks have included designs for new LOTUS & ASH letterhead and proof and order forms, in support for launching a more online-based ordering system.

But good ol' favorite paper fun did not stop with these administrative improvements. L&A celebrated a best friend's birthday with a handmade and custom designed guide for Fine Living at Twenty. Always a fan of Moleskin notebooks, they serve as great canvases to make whatever journal one can imagine.

And, after a long time in the making, a sweet greeting card made its debut. Quoting a favorite STARS song, it can be reproduced in any size. Sometimes, though, the smaller, the more easily tucked away and re-read. And that's the point of this whole stationery thing anyway, right?

Time working on L&A has been divided betweensailing in the bay and working on B I N A R Y P R E S S

Indeed, things are busy. But they are being thoroughly enjoyed.
