Late, last summer I sat down with San Francisco artist Sarah Applebaum. Below are pics I took and our podcast. Although the podcast is a bit late -- what we talk about is relevant and I think you'll enjoy what Sarah has to say about creating and connecting to the larger world around her. Enjoy!

I am so exicted to post these pics I took of my visit with jewelry designer, Marisa Haskell. Oh man. I was so enamoured with Marisa and her studio. She was so warm and generous! I could have stayed all day chatting with her and her friend and neighbor Ali Golden (you can see a peek of Ali's gorgeous frocks in the background below). I hope these images get across how tranquil and wonderful Marisa's shop is. Her little shop-studio space is probably about 6 by 15 feet of wall to wall jewels and supplies. It sits in Oakland off Telegraph Ave -- but with its wood lined walls you would think you were in a tiny cabin in the woods somewhere. It totally represents Marisa's beautiful style; bohemian beauty.
I was first turned on to Marisa's jewels through one of my very favorite shops here in SF, Reliquary. I bought one piece, then another...then another. I'm sold for sure and once you see her work I bet you will be too.
You can see Marisa's online shop here.
Thanks Mariss! <3

In 2003, sisters and bffs, Eunice and Sabrina Moyle co-founded their stationary company Hello! Lucky in Eunice's garage with a vintage Vandercook press and a desire to own their own company. Sabrina does the numbers, while Eunice takes care of the creative side. It all began with Eunice's cards and invitations she made on the side for friends and family; together they built Hello! Lucky from the ground up.
I had the pleasure of taking pictures of their cuter than cute SOMA studio. The workshop is filled with lots of natural light, color and creativity. Everywhere you turn is their signature quirky, modern vintage style; ribbons, flowers, white washed wood and of course all the stationary you could ever imagine. In every space you looked sat greeting cards, wedding Invites and so much more. It was such a fun visit.
Hello! Lucky makes both digital and letterpress printings. The letterpress is all done in house on enormous, beautiful presses. While I was there James one of the printers was working on detailed beautiful, business cards of their marketing manager (a close friend of mine) Christina Loff. It was amazing to see all of the detail in these gorgeous cards. Meanwhile, Max the other half of the printing duo -- cut adorable 'we belong together' salt & pepper shaker cards. You can see pics below of them.
Be sure to check Hello! Lucky's blog, where they post real weddings, outings the sisters have, birds eye views into their printing practice...and of course the cutest stationary ever and sometimes free print outs!
