Another week draws to a close…
It’s the final week of this school term for me too and exams and project deadlines loom. I’ve really enjoyed this term’s classes and I’m sorry that they’ll be over soon. But onward and upward to new heights of knowledge.
Back again on Monday!

It must be such a pleasure to design wine bottle lables. This one does me in completely – with hand-crafted lettering and a beautiful die-line, it is sophisticated, enchanting, and whimsical all at once.

In keeping with my little animal air mail theme, here is a cute variation on the tags from yesterday.
Somebody, quick, have a birthday! I want to use these…

I don’t know if I’m feeling extra nostalgic these days, or if I just desperately want to run away to a romantic escape for a while. Whatever it is, I’m swept of my feet by the thought of vintage suitcases, brown paper parcels, air mail, luggage tags, and plane tickets.
