FRIDAY FIX: QUOTES

images: weheartit

Cheesy as quotes might be, I kind of love that. I think sometimes a silly hand written note can be the most inspirational thing, it can keep you truly motivated or just make you smile. I watched Talledega Nights this week and loved the silliness of the quotes they stood by and basically built their life on 'If you ain't first, you're last' and 'Shake and bake!' I love having little post its, old receipts, scraps of paper with silly sayings on, they remind us not to take things too seriously, or they can have a powerful, inspirational effect. I also thought the hand drawn type was pretty effin' cool ♥ 

What are your favourite quotes/ sayings? ♥

Have a super cool weekend lovelies ♥ 

This Week, We Love...

Well, with Valentine's Day just around the corner, love is everywhere. And as some of you may have heard, I got engaged on Wednesday!! So I'm feeling extra smiley this week! I thought this all seemed like a good opportunity to do a 'This Week, We Love...' on the theme of love!

Amazing personilised chocolate (from the chocolate shop I work in, Gorvett & Stone. Not at all biased!)

Pick Me Up @ Somerset House

Hi Crayonettes!
Hope you're all well and enjoying the sunshine (while it lasts!)
The Rachels went to Somerset House at the weekend and had a nice day out in London town.

Myself (Rachel P) and Rachel L popped along to the Pick Me Up graphic art fair at Somerset House on Sunday to see all the lovely artwork and graphic design.

There lots of amazing artwork on display, the place is packed full of all kinds of image makers from typographers to animators, graphic designers and independent illustrators.  Definitely worth a visit.

One of our favourite illustrators Kate Moross made an appearance with her colourful prints, we love her work, its so bold

There was lots of hand made type and letterpress around as well which we loved - I took a picture of the letter R. For Rachel. :)

It was alot of fun, well worth it, we're full of inspiration for own little collective - maybe one day we'll be at Somerset House! I think Rach has some better photos she may share with us later.

Much love!
