Each Cup of Tea

by David Finley

A Birthday Gift

 We took a trip to the mountains to celebrate my Nicole's birthday and had a truly memorable adventure. (I'll post some thoughts and pictures of the trip here soon)

 In addition to the trip, I made a new header banner (the tea cups above adorn it) for her blog, Each Cup of Tea. The blog, much like my wife, is wistful, charming, and beautiful. Her blog, through written word and some lovely photography, chronicles the little things in life, each story symbolically becoming it's own "cup of tea".

Gigi Fifi

 This is a slightly more feminine piece that I made for my wife's much more insightful than my blog: gigififi . The lines were done in Illustrator and colors were added with scanned watercolor and Photoshop. I like working in this style. It feels very sophisticated and fashionable.

 Anyway, my wife, Nicole, is a very charming writer and her blog does a good job of sharing that charm. She talks about everything from antiques and flowers, to dance and making pie. As you might have guessed from the description, it is a feminine blog, but I think that is a good thing.
