⇒ If you move in the typographic circles online, no doubt you’ll have gotten wind of this already but I wanted to show you Jessica Hische‘s project called Daily Drop Cap.

Friday Fance: People of Fance
I’m not a huge celebrity watcher, and I don’t require gossip in order to get on with my day but there are a few celebrities I love to look at because they pretty much typify “The Fance” for me. The following People of Fance have been nominated by me and some of my Twitter followers…
Fanciful Friday: Friday Fance
In my head I’ve been calling these posts “Friday Fance”, and in fact I’ve been using “fance” as a word a whole bunch more lately. I hope my readers know what I’m talking about when I bust out the fance. Someone call Oxford, we have a new word! Today I want to talk to you…

Fanciful Friday: What I wore today edition

Fanciful Friday
I have been thinking about animals a lot this week, and how much I would love to be able to adopt one. We rent, and our landlords are decidedly against fanciness, aesthetics, safety (remember the exploding fuse incident?!) and of course, the keeping of any kind of animal. Despite their reluctance to chill out and…
Fanciful Friday
I’ve been slaving away over cupcakes which turned out to be complete duds after I left out the eggs, so I have baking on the brain. Today’s Fanciful Friday is going to be a baking edition! • A hootie cake! This gorgeous owl cake was made by lady_lala “for a nice boy”. Awww man! I…
