2.  I’ve been really into gorgeous calligraphy lately, and I love Patricia Mumau’s style.  A little bit quirky but still modern.  She blogs about her calligraphy projects as well as lots of mid-century illustration (another thing I happen to love).

3.  There are some amazing illustrations to be found at An Open [sketch]book, as well as tons of other visual inspiration.  When I see illustrators like this, it makes me realize just how bad of a drawer I really am.

4.  Another person who’s handwriting I’m jealous of is Marta over at Marta Writes.  She seems to be able to bring a lot of personality and joy into everything she creates.  Something to aspire to in the new year.

5.  All of the lovely things over at Quaint Handmade just make me smile.
