It’s Friday! This week felt epically long for some reason so I am thrilled to finally be closing the laptop and getting ready to reunite with my best D*S buds, Amy and Kate who both come back into town today after European vacations. Before I pack up I wanted to share these adorable drawings from Brooklyn artist Kelly Lasserre.

Kelly creates these sweet drawings of shoes, food and inanimate objects that seem to come to life with a playful spirit. I’d love to frame a small group of these in an office as an inspiration wall. They’re a great reminder than everyday objects can sometimes be the most beautiful. Click here to check out all of Kelly’s work for sale on her Etsy shops.

I’m heading out for the weekend- I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! xo, grace
