Thinking about bikes

Mr Dukes surprised me today by cleaning up my bicycle and returning it to the shop. We’ve had to take it in for repairs too many times, but thank goodness for 100% guarantee policies!

So now I’m contemplating what to do with my store credit. Living less than two miles from work makes a cruiser/comfort bike a possibility for me. I’m not as serious a biker as Mr Dukes, and I’m more concerned with form than function at this point. Schwinn’s Coffee & Cream line is looking awfully appealing. I mean, how cute is this!?

*swoon*

Wordle

We’ve been having fun around the office with Wordle. I love stuff like this.


See it bigger.

Metal Monagram

I’ve been keeping an eye out for big letters to adorn the walls at home. These colorful metal letters might be an option. There’s unfortunately only a few letters, but they have mine and the mister’s first initials. Hmm…it’s a maybe, especially since they can be painted.

Linzie Hunter

Oooh! Linzie Hunter got her printing advances for her new postcard book from Chronicle and gave the world a sneak peek. No surprise that it’s going to be AWESOME.


Linzie is one of those girls who know how to make lemonade from lemons. She creates gorgeous type treatments from spam emails, and they’re so hilarious! A couple of her prints are available on 20×200 (which is also great…letter-size art prints for $20. That’s what I’M talking about). Visit her website here.

Whee! Renegade!

Guess where WE’RE going this afternoon? I’ve been looking forward to this for months.
