A GREAT MODERN CALLIGRAPHY FONT: MATCHMAKER

Happy Font Friday folks! How are you? I'm super excited because I am finally feeling a little better. Which means today is the first day I have not started coughing the second I woke up. I've been coughing since Alt (no joke) and am a little worn out. But I'm thrilled because I get to meet Tristan, of Besotted, and Michelle, of creatocrat, this very Sunday and not scare them to death with my cooties. We will go gallivanting around the Fremont Sunday Market and it will be so fun! (yes, I have lived in Seattle forever and never, ever been) So the font I chose today is simple and gorgeous, much like the work by these ladies. Enter Matchmaker, a great new font by Angie Baldelomar, that also happens to be on sale.

It has great swashes that you can add to the end and beginning of each word, but the even better part is that it is 30% off right now! Take a look at the super long ones...I love this! Oh, and nice is pretty nice too.

FONT FRIDAY: JACQUES AND GILLES

Happy Friday font lovers! Today I am excited because the font this week reminds me of one of my favorite calligraphers, Lauren of A Fabulous Fete. I mean it really is uncanny...It is close enough that I can now label everything in my office and I am thrilled. Although when I do hit the lottery, I'm still having her label everything. This week's font is JACQUES AND GILLES by Emily Lime.

Isn't it lovely? I am also chomping at the bit to see all the new products in A Fabulous Fete's shop, which were photographed by dez and tam photography.

Notice the pretty little handwritten font in Lauren's stamps and signage. Notice the awesome cakestand Sharon gave me for my birthday, which she had labeled by you know who. Now, compare it to JACQUES AND GILLES...have I just hit the jackpot here or what? For $17 you can label to your hearts content. Pretty, pretty, pretty. I love this font because it looks handwritten. It isn't overly frou-frou but just a touch of modern girly.  Don't forget to grab it while it is still on sale HERE.
