Our last post dealt with all the wonderful thousands of things we’ve been up to recently. In the sense of balanced journalism, we figured we’d give a more clear picture of the results of a maddening printer (on the verge of its second meltdown in the middle of giant print jobs) and a night of...

Children Ask… About Beards
A little while ago I picked up Questions Children Ask, a lavishly illustrated children’s book from the 1960’s answering, you guessed it, commonly-asked questions. The answers themselves are funny and sometimes quaint in how outdated they are (one answer reports that the U.S. Government pours drums of oil into swamps to destroy mosquitos), but the...
The United Chips of America
We were eating tortilla chips tonight before doing some studio work when we realized that they were looking a lot like U.S. states. So we took it to the extreme. (Idaho is exactly how it looked right out of the bag.) Now it’s almost midnight, we’re full of chips, and we’re just now starting to...
Punkin love
A little runt pumpkin we picked from the garden today! He was under-ripe and we couldn’t bare to toss the little guy so we made an early jack-o-lantern instead! I’m always ready for Fall festivities waaaay too early. But hey, if people can start putting out their Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving, I think...
Brownie + Lucille
Joel and I were so inspired by our thrift store finds the other day, we decided to do a mini photo shoot. We found the vintage desk (with amazing etchings in it such as, “Brownie + Lucille”), the flannel jacket (perfect for autumn wood-chopping), and the retro tape player (practically brand new, never even taken...
Look what the cat dragged in
I just felt it necessary to bring to everyone’s attention how crazy my cat (Aki) is. Somehow we discovered when she was a kitten that she has a weird fixation with those little squishy lizards, frogs, bugs, etc. you can buy in the toy section at Walmart. Well, naturally we fed the addiction as she...
Cotton Candy Kids
On the way out the door to the beach the other weekend, a little boy met us at the door (pictured below) with an invitation to his slushy stand down the street. Of course we couldn’t resist such an adorable and delicious offer. I thought the encounter was cute enough to be post worthy, especially...
Severed Finger in a Box
Today Ashley and I were helping her mom pack up her 2nd grade classroom and I had some fun with a little box.

paper + marmalade
A lot has been happening around the studio lately… a new and glorious printer, bunches of new delicious papers, finalizing of a lot of big client projects (mostly wedding invitations), and the much needed re-vamping of our website (which is still in progress).
In honor of our new printer we recently created a new card series...
party-hardy
Today is my birthday! Woooo! Bun & Toast are doing this amazing thing called, “STORIES 4 U,” where you can send them an email with a noun, verb and adjective and they will reply back with a short illustration. This morning we sent in: Birthday, party-hardy, and awkward, and here’s the illustration and story they...
