whew! it’s been a long week here at d*s. as many of you have noticed we’ve been making some changes to the rss feed in an attempt to lighten the blow of our image serving costs. i really appreciate everyone’s patience- we’re aware that images are appearing in smaller sizes (or not at all) and hope to have the issue remedied shortly. we’re looking into a number of options to keep both rss readers and regular site readers happy. if you want any more details on the situation you can click here and see my explanation in the comment section (my comments are in pink boxes). i really appreciate your patience with us as we figure out a good compromise.
in happier news, today is a day-off for some of you so i’ll be signing off early today to celebrate ac actually getting a day off from work. i hope you’ll all enjoy the july 4th holiday and i’ll see you back on monday with gorgeous new home tours, a special guest blog/home tour from sweden, a new guest blogger, and much more.
also, i’m thrilled to announce that alissa and ryan from horne (our guest bloggers for the week) will be returning every month with their “behind the bar” column. starting in august, they’ll be posting a delicious drink recipe every last friday of the month. stay tuned!

I used to make these for my friends in grade school!
Ha ha ha. I haven’t seen one of these in awhile!
Oooo! I remember these! We used to play this for hours and hours and weeks and years…
LOVE fortune tellers…they remind me of fourth grade…and so does Bob Saget aka Danny Tanner.
Just found you …. what fun! Looking forward to new posts and catching up as I can. Happy 4th!
This is so fun. These would be fun invitations!
I love Eva, I think she is one of the most talented letterpress artists around and I say artist because her letterpress abilities are sublime and she’s nice and professional to boot!
Aaaw the memories! These are brilliant! :)
COOTIE CATCHERS! I loved making these in grade school.
… seems like these memories are the same worldwide … these thoughts here come all the way from Germany :) Thanks!
Happy 4th to you! Have a great weekend :)

My daughter just made her first fortune teller at daycamp. She has been hooked ever since.

Looking forward to those Behind the Bar posts. I love the regular columns you’ve assembled, Grace. This is by far my favorite blog!
Bob Saget loves me?!? Yiiiiiii! =)
I used to make these as a kid, although mine weren’t as nice as yours!
Hehe I love this. How clever isn’t this. It makes me wanna go to the library and look into craft books for kids :D

Well… I am in norway. No answers here.
Cute fortune teller :) I haven’t seen one of those in years.
OMG!! i would have never thought of to use fortune tellers at my wedding in march. THANKS
:)would love for u to do mine:)
these are so cute! i remember making them with my friends as a child.
I think the way you’ve set up the formatting for the RSS feeds is fine, and it encourages people to open your post if they want to see more.
thanks- i’m going to customize it a bit more so it’s a tad bit prettier, but for now, i’m hoping that makes a dent in the image hosting. fingers crossed ;)
Super cool. I remember making those.
