Who doesn’t love the combination of wood and typography? I’m swooning over these handmade signs by designer William Dohman. He creates these lovely works of type from recycled wood in different colors and fonts. Not only are they great for your home but they would be perfect as props for your wedding!

Happy Sunday everyone! Since Spring is just around the corner I thought I’d share these gorgeous photographs by Joel Olives. He is a photographer living in The Woodlands, Texas area and his butterfly and flower images are so beautiful! To see more of his work visit his Etsy shop and his Flickr page here. And for those of you that love a deal, he has a BOGO sale going on now!

So all day today I’ve been listening non-stop to the amazing voice of British singer Adele. I saw her this morning perform on Good Morning America and my jaw dropped. I immediately downloaded her album 21 (it was released on Feb. 22) and it’s been on repeat all day. YES. ALL. DAY. LONG. She is amazing and I cannot believe she’s only 22 years old! I would LOVE to see her live but unfortunately so does the rest of the world. Most tour dates close to North Carolina are sold out but I’m still crossing my fingers I’ll get the chance to hear her live one day. I know she one of those performances that you simply have to see!

I also really love the fact that the video she made for Someone Like You was shot entirely in her home and shares details of her life. In 2009, Adele won TWO Grammy Awards, (which are shown in the video) Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Here’s another fabulous video of her song Rolling In the Deep. Amazing. I really love all the glasses on the floor vibrating from her voice and the broken dishes. How or why I’ve not heard of her before now is so sad. I’ll stop rambling but do take a listen. I’m sure you’ll end up with her album on repeat too!

Happy Friday all! Today’s Follow Friday post features art by Melissa Bryant. She lives in Indianapolis, Indiana and has a fabulous Etsy shop named My Wire Empire where she sells prints of her illustrations. I especially love the furniture designs she has with colorful patterns!
