Instagram Inspiration 01.

For the longest time, I've always considered Pinterest my #1 place online to find visual inspiration. I use tumblr a little bit here and there but it's really mostly been Pinterest. Lately (seriously--I'm really late on this one), I've been using Instagram as another place to find visual inspiration from photographers, stylists, and other artsy people. 

Today, I just thought I'd share a few of my favorite accounts. If you'd like, you can follow me too (@callmessafras)!

Call Me Sassafras on Instagram!

I know I'm a wee bit late in announcing this, but I just wanted all y'all to know that I finally made an instagram for Call Me Sassafras! The account will share behind-the-scenes snapshots of the blog, my calligraphy/paper art/design and my life, not to mention music that I'm currently listening to. Here are a few examples of things I've recently posted.

You can follow me on Instagram here or from your phone via the instagram at @callmesassafras!

 

 

1 / My behind-the-scenes process of making cards for the fair earlier in the summer.

2 / A gorgeously designed tea tin found at a Goodwill--and happily purchased for 25 cents!

3 / Sometimes I doodle my feelings (while I should have been packing).

4 / Delicious kiwi gelato with my family.

5 / Proof that YES, Lake Michigan is wavy enough to surf in.

Catching My Eye 08.

Would you make me very very happy and take my survey? I promise, it's super short, 9 questions. And most of the questions are multiple choice, a few you have to fill in a word. I will love you forever! 

Just a heads-up, friends. I'm heading up north today for a super short trip. I have posts scheduled for you but I won't be responding to comments until Friday. So no, I don't hate you, I'll reply soon!

The best of the interwebs:

♥This video. True, ain't it?



♥This beautiful word art! I'm getting SO into typography lately. Any of you like typography or things like that?



♥This DIY on A Beautiful Mess on making a photo-covered journal.



♥Yeah, I'm way behind. But Mulberry's Fall 2011 line ads are phenomenal, aren't they? I want to live in it.

♥Victoria's Secret PINK has launched a line called Consent Revolution: underwear decorated with phrases like "Ask first", "No means no" and "Let's talk about sex". By the time women in the United States graduate from college, one in four will have been raped. Women are twice as likely to be raped in their lifetime than to develop breast cancer. This is little, but maybe it'll change things.

♥In this video, Heineken offers people free flights to exotic destinations. The only caveat? They have to leave immediately and they don't know where they're going.

♥This fascinating study shows that Instagram is more depressing than Facebook.

♥Have you heard that the Postal Service might stop delivering to your door? If you live in America.
