Creature Comforts - daily inspiration, style, d.i.y. projects + freebies

Weekend Link Love: 07. 03. 09

Have a fantastic weekend everyone (and a fun and safe 4th of July for those of you here in the US).  I'll see you here again next week!  xox Ez

• I definitely want to try some of this scrumptious-sounding Berry "Pizza" this weekend.
• This 4th of July Cupcake Topper downloadable freebie is the sweetest (use the download as a template with your own patterned paper and it can be used for any occasion).
• With all the sweets I'll be eating over the weekend it's a good thing there is this great free printable Food Journal Download to help get me back on track (I plan to use it every day...starting next week).
• Next week I'm headed to New Jersey to house/apartment hunt (I'll still be blogging), and I so wish I was taking this amazing bag along with me (maybe next time).
• Letterpress + birds = perfection!
• Creature Comforts has some amazing new and return sponsors (I hope you'll like them as much as I do): Laurel Denise  |  June Shin  | Roll & Tumble Press  |  Betsy & Iya  |  Kind Over Matter  |  Dejarnette

Inspiration Daily: weekend edition - specimens of beauty

Happy Friday lovelies!  This weekend I hope might feel inspired to:

• Lay in the grass and search for shapes in the clouds: flowers and the grass
• Wear something that makes you feel pretty: Untitled
• Explore your world (you can even start in your own backyard): 16/52
• Add to a collection you have or start a new one: The Hall of Biodiversity
• Enjoy the shade of a majestic tree (or plant a seedling for the next generation to enjoy) : "Of all the wonders of nature, a tree in summer is perhaps the most remarkable; with the possible exception of a moose singing ''Embraceable You'' in spats."
• Celebrate the beauty of everyday things: Untitled

Free Fonts I Love: Part Two

Hello lovely ones!  It's time for part two of my favorite free fonts round-up.  I'm thrilled that so many of you enjoyed it last time!  Today I decided to pick out a few "Western-style" fonts that I'm fond of.  I adore the Home Sweet Home font, and a little while ago I used the Hoedown font for this free Mini Notes download.  Cute, right?!

And for those of you who have asked about my missing Quote of the Week feature... I'm busy collecting some great quotes to share and the series will be back again soon.  If you have a favorite quote you'd like me to include I'd love for you to email me or leave your requests in the comment section below!

Featured "Western-style" Fonts:

• Pinewood
• Hoedown Shadow
