A book signing with Lisa Congdon

After Temescal Alley, us girls zipped up a few blocks to College Ave. for a book signing with illustrator and blogger, Lisa Congdon {and her dog Wilfredo, too!}. She’s illustrated for biggies like The Museum of Modern Art, Martha Stewart, The Land of Nod, The Obama Campaign and more. She has some mad hand lettering skills, among so many others. And I got to see her hand lettering in action as she signed my copy of Whatever You Are, Be a Good One — and with a sharpie! Lisa is down-to-earth and warm and flat out a happy person. So inspiring!

After we immediately went to the flower shop down the way and picked some pretties out. Guess we were inspired for some more color in our lives, ha.
