Mini Goals Chalkboard

Posted on October 8, 2009 by Hijiri

I was reading this article on etsy, but I couldn’t help looking into MaryKateMcDevitt’s shop before I finish reading the article… these mini goals chalkboards are super awesome! I love the hand lettering, the design of the chalkboards and the concept so much! I need one, I can’t decide which one yet, but I thought it was such a cute way to motivate yourself with mini goals everyday. They are “mini” goals so it’s not overwhelming, which makes easier to accomplish :)

The Literary City

Posted on September 25, 2009September 28, 2021 by Hijiri

I have been missing San Francisco a lot lately (it’s been almost a year since my last visit… that is too long :( ) and when I saw this poster (?) over at we love typography, I knew that it was San Francisco even from a tiny thumbnail image and as soon as I clicked to see the larger view, I was in love. Entitled “The Literary City,” the whole city is covered with handwritten quotes about San Francisco from all sort of literature. And where each quote is placed makes perfect sense geographically, too!!

But I could find out where this is from or anything… I hope it is available for sale…?

If anyone has any information about this, please let me know. The link that they gave at we love typography was this link. I tried to search from it, but no luck… Thank you in advance!

*UPDATE: Thanks to Angela, here is the original article and the artist’s website — it’s not for sale, though! bummer…

Wishing you all a happy Friday… xo

I have been a fan of Sarah Gardner‘s hand-lettering work, it’s so great. Her Flickr photostream is filled with great hand-lettering work, it is so inspiring to browse through them all and they really make me want to try some hand-lettering!

Take Courage and Be Kind – how cool is the “K”? I like the “B” too:

Jana sent me a link to a website that she thought I might like – Letman.

and I really enjoy looking through all the projects, lettering, designs, creativity…. amazing stuff! I highly recommend checking this website for all sorts of ideas and letters!

One of the projects, ABC was probably the cutest and coolest and so I wanted to share it here – I love how 4-year-old is having fun drawing letters! Priceless.
