Today’s week 6 of Kirsten Grove’s lovely insider’s tips. It’s been a good week and I’m just loving Kirsten’s tips this week. Who couldn’t go wrong with large scale paintings and painted wood floors!

I’m really excited for today’s post. Today starts a new summer collaboration project with Jennifer of I ART U blog. I’ve been following Jen for some time now and sponsoring her blog when I can. Jen is a lifestyle photographer and blogger living in southern California and our hope is to unit with a fun project that allows us to share our own photography with each other’s readers. Each month during the summer we’ll have a themed post to share with you, this month’s being “Farmer’s Market”. We hope you guy enjoy this as much as we have so far.
Here’s what Jennifer had to say about her trip to the market.
“The farmer’s market experience in San Luis Obispo is one of my favorites. On this particular trip it was gloomier than normal, but equally as charming. There’s something beautiful about having the main street in downtown closed off for a few hours. People gather. Conversations flourish. And the community enjoys the fruits and vegetables of life on the Central Coast of California.—Jen”
*Don’t forget to head on over to Jen’s blog today to see my trip to the market!
Here in St. Louis we’re lucky to have a lot of fun things to do once the weather turns to spring/summer. The city comes to life and everyone comes together for their favorite summer activities (farmer’s markets, outdoor music events, wine tasting, etc).
The photos in this post are a mix from my camera and my iPhone. I’ve been using the new VSCO film app recently and really enjoying the way I can turn my iPhone photos into something my actual camera would produce. Pretty neat.

Hi Guys! Today is a fun day because I get to introduce a GIVEAWAY with one of my fav illustrators. Judy Kaufmann has a really whimsy style that just draws me in. You can see some of my favorites prints in an earlier post. Judy also has a great blog called Prints & Prints and it’s filled to the brim with inspiration.
Today Judy is giving ONE Vedahouse reader the opportunity to pick out a print from her shop and possibly win it. Winners will be announced NEXT Thursday (so you have one week to enter).
HOW TO ENTER:
All you have to do is visit Judy’s Etsy shop and pick out an 8.5 x 11 (A4 size) print. Leave a comment letting me know which print you’d like and I will randomly pick a winner next week.

- Printed with pigment inks on Epson Archival Matte Paper (192g) for long lasting images.
- Hand signed and dated on the front.
- Shipped with care in a protective cardboard envelope.
Good Luck!
I chose a very modern brand for this week’s branding backwards series. Dustin K. Friesen is a graphic designer with killer personal branding. I was beyond inspired by his business cards! I mean, how cool are they (photographed above)?? It reminds me to get out of my own box from time to time. You can see the rest of his work right here.
Cassie is on my blog today with her latest Branding Backwards post! Make sure to stop by and check it out.

I’ve been patiently waiting for the release of the free font download called Tanga Tanga created by Velckro Artwork. I’ve seen the type specimen images floating around the internet for some time now and have always been intrigued. I know this font wouldn’t be ideal for main body copy, but should could be used as a great logo font.
I’m not sure when the font will be released, but until then you should check out the entire Velckro Artwork portfolio.
Hi guys! Just stopping in today to share with you my most recent favorite blog to look at. I just adore this Australia based family and can’t get enough of them. The blog is updated regularly and I’m constantly stopping by for an update. The kids are beyond ridiculous cute and their life is captured in such a beautiful way.
1. This post over at My Girl Thursday had me laughing for awhile.
2. I’m incredibly jealous that my town doesn’t have one of these.
3. Do you need some inspiration and ideas of great places to stay on your next trip? Common Pursuit has some really great places showcased.
4. One of my favorite clothing companies (Poketa) has a really great blog.
5. Also, Lisa Congdon (one of my fav illustrators) has a great blog to follow.
6. Bre and I had a lovely shout out this past week about our blogger collaboration.
7. This photography portfolio is absolutely gorgeous. Love the mood of all the photos!
8. Really great tips for owning a digital camera. Such good information!
9. This is a really interesting DIY project. Love the leather straps!
