guest post : favorites from instagram

@carissajg

while my family and I are enjoying fun in the sun in the Philippines, I’ve asked a few of my favorite ladies to contribute a little guest post for Unruly Things.  this post is from Amanda Jane Jones

I’m new to fairly new to Instagram—started my own account last May—and immediately wondered how I ever lived without it! I’m hooked. Over the past couple months, I’ve really fallen in love with a number of feeds. I’ve featured three of my favorites. I’m inspired by the simple moments they capture and their beautiful points of view.

guest post : 7 things I love right now

honey-kennedy-7-things-unruly-things-guest-post-33

while my family and I are enjoying fun in the sun in the Philippines, I’ve asked a few of my favorite ladies to contribute a little guest post for Unruly Things.  here’s a list of seven swoon-worthy things from Jen of Honey Kennedy.

Hello! My name is Jen and my little blog is Honey Kennedy. I’m here filling in for Alyson while she is undoubtedly seeing something or eating something phenomenal in the Philippines. I thought I’d share a few things that I’ve been loving lately. This list was actually much longer (and there were considerably more chocolate things), but I pared it down to 7 lovely things that are currently making me swoon.

1. This pretty painting of a girl reading by Henri Lebasque has amazing colors.
2. I love these ceramic candlesticks at Alder & Co. from Notary.
3. My friend, Ana Montiel, made some beautiful wallpaper.
4. These chipotle caramel chocolate shortbread cookies are SO GOOOOD.
5. Can we all freak out over Lady Mary’s Georgian diamond tiara? Yes.
6. I’m addicted to watching The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes series on Netflix.
7. This cute striped hooded jacket at Arrow & Arrow is perfect.

thank you so much Jen!!

recent work : hruskaa

hruskaaUT_alysonbrownLogo

one of my most recent {and favorite} projects was to design a logo for Hruskaa, previously known as AM Radio.  I first discovered AM Radio a few years back and was taken by the beautiful himelli mobiles and vintage pieces in their shop.  I was really excited when Melissa approached me about designing the logo and helping to re-brand her shop.  the new brand Hruskaa will focus on vintage and modern handcrafted wares and Melissa wanted a logo that was both geometric and simple.  I created both the logo and icon seen below and I think what we landed on is perfect.

wintery decor

UT-holiday1

every time December rolls around, I seem to find as many places in our home to use fresh cut fir, twinkling lights, rustic natural wood and bold red plaids.  then when December and the holidays have come and gone, I get sad taking all the “Christmasing” down.  we just got our tree this weekend and I made my first wreath.  now I’m dying for snow to make the holidays feel real.  and I’m wishing I could keep winter decor up all year round.

I recently had the pleasure of designing the logo for Portland’s newest shop, Maven Collective.  Jacklyn, the original owner of Maven, has come together with Kim from Ethanollie, Sue from Solstice Home and Rebekah from Little Byrd Vintage to form the new collective shop in the Montavilla neighborhood of Portland.  they’re soft opening was last week and I’m dying to get in there.  the collection of goods, both vintage and handmade, is sure to be nothing short of amazing.  follow their process on Facebook or Twitter.  congrats ladies!!  can’t wait to stop in.
