ITS HIP TO BE SQUARE


i've been trying to restock the store after it was stormed by excited freshmen anxious to make their impersonal dorm rooms more fun and cheerful. bright colors always seem to do the trick. the best sellers have been our new vertical words. and of course NAME PLAQUES!! each freshman gets one FREE when they spend $30!! they're perfect for your dorm door....

on another note, i've thought of a new design!!! after endless polka dots and stripes, last night aaron challenged me to do SQUARES. after sleeping on ideas all night i woke up this morning refreshed and obviously in a very retro mood. although pink and green will be my all time favorite color palette i think, the aquas, greens and browns i used today make my heart smile! what do you think? and what are your favorite colors?! let us know!

i'll be in waco this week wednesday through friday so if you're in the neighborhood, stop by to say hi!

Yup, the squares are awesome. I love the whole retro-esque 'square slightly offset within a square' look.

As for color combos, I'm secretly in love with pink and orange and brown and sometimes red, all together. : )

Congrats on entering the land o'blog!
