OOPS.<br />
<br />
It seems easier to update my Tumblr because of Instagram (but don't be fooled – I don't post often over there either), but regardless – I wanted this one to have a facelift because I had a physical reaction of dislike upon seeing it.<br />
<br />
SO, I've done the best that I can to make this blog look like it belongs to the jessicaraebailey brand within the confines of blogger – however, it's still a bit off. What are you going to do?<br />
<br />
ANYWAY – I'm off to watch New Girl & The Mindy Project and then to dream of all the crazy-fun things I can do at work tomorrow.<br />
<br />
As a parting gift, please enjoy this art from the Circleville Pumpkin Show and try to avoid any subsequent nightmares.<br />

Bailey is now 2, but these pictures had me laughing out loud – so cute – so I thought I'd share! She's only a couple days old in these photos. I LOVE THAT GIRL!<br />
<br />
Okay, more designs soon – I swear!!!Jessica Baileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03601385612977909388noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526751634376218773.post-44688934221918435792011-02-26T15:29:00.001-05:002011-02-26T15:29:35.254-05:00Where have I been?Hello, friends!<br />
<br />
I have been working up a storm lately! My first magalog for Lane Bryant will arrive in mailboxes the first week in March, Melissa's baby shower invites arrived in mailboxes last week (more below), Kate's wedding invites (we'll wait till those are IN the mail) will be in the mail soon, and my NEWEST project is actually just being started today (you can see some inspiration below).<br />
<br />
I'll let those of you (if any) that get the Lane Bryant magalog view that in real life on your own (it's 44 pages - too much for this space!!!). But for everyone else, here is a glimpse or two into what I've been doing:<br />
<br />
Melissa's Baby Shower invite:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-4YfVIaScCoY/TWlfZJtXPjI/AAAAAAAAANI/rTM2dH0pdhI/s1600/joel%2526melissa_invite_front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-4YfVIaScCoY/TWlfZJtXPjI/AAAAAAAAANI/rTM2dH0pdhI/s320/joel%2526melissa_invite_front.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Y3dF7YCyP0Q/TWlfcypr1aI/AAAAAAAAANM/7rMfcq1C5Ww/s1600/joel%2526melissa_baby_shower_invite_back_final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Y3dF7YCyP0Q/TWlfcypr1aI/AAAAAAAAANM/7rMfcq1C5Ww/s320/joel%2526melissa_baby_shower_invite_back_final.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>She loves them and I hope that the party-goers do too! I illustrated them and did the design work - it was a labor of love and it was AWESOME to do.<br />
<br />
And now I'm (finally!!!) getting to work on a coworker's wedding invite (and additional collateral), which we decided we'd work on together about 6 months ago, and now it's finally happening!<br />
<br />
Her fiancé is from Mexico and her dress looks like a flamenco dress - her colors are turquoise and red - and they love tattoos and <span lang="es"><i>Día de los Muertos </i>(but we're not including skulls because her very catholic father does not view them favorably). So, this is the swipe I've pulled so far:</span><br />

<span lang="es">So, I'll keep you posted on the results. I'd tell you from whence all of this inspiration came, but I didn't keep track - just google search "mexican floral tattoo" and you can probably find the source of most of them.</span><br />

Maybe!So, I said long ago that I'd update this blog with photos of GIFTS for yours truly... so here are a couple of things that I received for my late December birthday - they definitely made my day and they were all given to me by ladies whose names start with "K"!<br />
<br />
From <a href="http://kelledame.blogspot.com/">Kelle</a> (and Bailey - not a K name), I got this beautiful butter dish (posing as a jewelry holder) and a beautiful brooch:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtegEyrD6I/AAAAAAAAAMk/AirK1Ee21Bs/s1600/IMG_2186.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtegEyrD6I/AAAAAAAAAMk/AirK1Ee21Bs/s320/IMG_2186.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtemuo9PeI/AAAAAAAAAMo/qNxNspZLV9g/s1600/IMG_2187.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtemuo9PeI/AAAAAAAAAMo/qNxNspZLV9g/s320/IMG_2187.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtduX_jWAI/AAAAAAAAAME/2SdA12WjMPs/s1600/IMG_2178.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtduX_jWAI/AAAAAAAAAME/2SdA12WjMPs/s320/IMG_2178.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtd0elbW5I/AAAAAAAAAMI/qTdas9Oqu-w/s1600/IMG_2179.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtd0elbW5I/AAAAAAAAAMI/qTdas9Oqu-w/s320/IMG_2179.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtd6bJ5DiI/AAAAAAAAAMM/1NjKZh6sqZU/s1600/IMG_2180.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtd6bJ5DiI/AAAAAAAAAMM/1NjKZh6sqZU/s320/IMG_2180.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>The note made me laugh, "When you open the butterdish, listen for the way it says, 'shrrrring!' - sounds fancy! [heart] you" because it's TRUE! I think of it every day when I open the dish (and I do, everyday, regardless of whether I'm wearing posts or hook earrings because all the backs are in the dish - my neck is too short and I love scarves too much not to wear them and risk hook earrings falling on to the floor or ice when I'm ice skating). I realize that I didn't get the brooch in the photos... but Kelle did, awhile ago:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUthbk4v8II/AAAAAAAAAMs/JaEXYwY57yM/s1600/Emelys%252Bboard.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUthbk4v8II/AAAAAAAAAMs/JaEXYwY57yM/s320/Emelys%252Bboard.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I could go and take my own shot, but I'm choosing to be lazy tonight!<br />
<br />
These girls also left me the BEST birthday message - Bailey yelling, "I LOVE YOU, JESS – I LOVE YOU JESS!!!" made my whole YEAR!<br />
<br />
Kailen (my goddaughter) sent (via her mother, my cousin Kelly) this awesome card:<br />

<br />
Next, from <a href="http://redheadk8.blogspot.com/">Kate</a> I received this beautiful print of my beloved MICHIGAN(!):<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUteAUNoPGI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/W4ctEFhhVng/s1600/IMG_2181.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUteAUNoPGI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/W4ctEFhhVng/s320/IMG_2181.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>and eyeshadow that has resulted in no less than 20 compliments:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtkZ_DHLmI/AAAAAAAAAMw/42CUrPuzFdM/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-02-03+at+9.28.19+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtkZ_DHLmI/AAAAAAAAAMw/42CUrPuzFdM/s320/Screen+shot+2011-02-03+at+9.28.19+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div>by <a href="http://www.target.com/Sonia-Kashuk-Eye-Shadow-Quad/dp/B001U4XPBQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&searchView=grid5&keywords=sonia%20kashuk&fromGsearch=true&sr=1-3&qid=1296786460&rh=&searchRank=target104545&id=Sonia%20Kashuk%20Eye%20Shadow%20Quad&node=1038576%7C1287991011&searchSize=30&searchPage=1&searchNodeID=1038576%7C1287991011&searchBinNameList=subjectbin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&frombrowse=0">Sonia Kashuk</a> - who knew!?! <br />
<br />
Finally, from my friend Katie, I received exactly what I asked for. I donation to <a href="https://thewaterproject.org/donate.asp">The Water Project</a>:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtli2AERsI/AAAAAAAAAM4/KWQz-OBdgPI/s1600/new_site_top_3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="58" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TUtli2AERsI/AAAAAAAAAM4/KWQz-OBdgPI/s320/new_site_top_3.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
It was a great birthday! My sister and brother also gave money to The Water Project and my mom bought me an electric toothbrush (which I TOTALLY wanted!), my other sister and the same brother got me Kanye West and Taylor Swift's new CDs (I made them fight over a Beyoncé CD), and my friends Joel and Melissa got me so much Alice and Wonderland dishware that I can't wait to eat all day! JUST KIDDING!!!<br />

<br />
I've been busy like a whirling dervish lately, but the results are GREAT! I'm working a lot and producing work that I love, including...<br />
<br />
SAVE THE DATE POSTCARDS FOR <a href="http://www.redheadk8.blogspot.com/">KATE</a> & JAMES!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TSKG0xiX-2I/AAAAAAAAAL0/PRNSSjTDtok/s1600/kate%252Bjames_save_the_date_front_final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TSKG0xiX-2I/AAAAAAAAAL0/PRNSSjTDtok/s400/kate%252Bjames_save_the_date_front_final.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TSKGzIz5OuI/AAAAAAAAALw/TiQLL_-reDg/s1600/kate%252Bjames_save_the_date_back_final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TSKGzIz5OuI/AAAAAAAAALw/TiQLL_-reDg/s400/kate%252Bjames_save_the_date_back_final.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The illustration was a combo effort – I pulled together the background and asked Kate to draw herself and James – she has always done such a great job at illustrating people in a fun, beautiful way, so I thought that she should DEFINITELY be the person to draw the two of them. I think it looks great, and it's the first combo effort from the two of us since high school (maybe even ever!). I love her – I'm so happy to be her maid of honor!<br />
<br />
Next up for Kate & James from me: INVITATIONS!<br />
<br />
Next up for me in the freelancing world: a meeting with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra to design for their upcoming gala!<br />
<br />
Next up for this blog: a posting of beautiful gifts from my birthday & Christmas – I'm a lucky girl with talented and loving friends & family!Jessica Baileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03601385612977909388noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526751634376218773.post-31111340927712820512010-11-28T22:27:00.001-05:002010-11-28T22:27:23.962-05:00What I've been working on...Hello friends! I haven't been here for awhile and I was feeling a twinge guilty and a lot nostalgic!<br /><br />So, I'm back! One week before I start my new job in marketing and five days until I see Kate Clements (soon to be Sloan!)!!!<br /><br />I've been interviewing and getting ready for transition at work, but more importantly (and more AWESOMELY) I've been working on Kate's wedding collateral!<br /><br />Here's a sneak peek at her colors, and I promise to post more of what I've been working on after approval from the bride.<br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/11/28/3383.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/11/28/s_3383.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='187' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />We've been inspired by the talented Anna Bond and by WPA poster art, so look forward to the outcome! <br /><br />Goodnight all!<br /><br />- Posted on the go using BlogPress from my iPad<br />Jessica Baileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03601385612977909388noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526751634376218773.post-67510800787858066682010-09-26T14:02:00.000-04:002010-09-26T14:02:51.268-04:00Bake Me Happy!These are the initial sketches for a new Columbus Gluten-free Bakery called, "Bake Me Happy"<br />
<br />

Wendy, the proprietor, liked the last one on the right but wanted to make tweaks, so here is the second round (just finished moments ago!).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TJ-KDJvevrI/AAAAAAAAALo/6LqpAlvZ8xQ/s1600/bake_me_happy_secondary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TJ-KDJvevrI/AAAAAAAAALo/6LqpAlvZ8xQ/s400/bake_me_happy_secondary.jpg" width="308" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I hope she's happy with one of them. I like the simplicity of the top option, but we'll see what she thinks!<br />
<br />
Now, I'm off to work on my cousin's tattoo!Jessica Baileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03601385612977909388noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526751634376218773.post-1688769524221152772010-09-25T20:54:00.000-04:002010-09-25T20:54:11.114-04:00Well, well, well - look who it is...I'm back!<br />
<br />
I want to share a little of what I've been working on lately, so here goes:<br />
<br />
This is a sampling of the logos I conjured up for my friend Linda. She needs a new resume and portfolio and liked that mine "have the same theme across all of them" - so I told her that it's because I branded myself and I could brand her too, so I did!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TJ6WUF1eGcI/AAAAAAAAALc/LmontkJsNo4/s1600/linda_elliker_header_options.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TJ6WUF1eGcI/AAAAAAAAALc/LmontkJsNo4/s320/linda_elliker_header_options.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>We bought Silver Thread (J.Crew's most recent featured font) and ended up with this look:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TJ6Xv5uXHXI/AAAAAAAAALg/gn1i7Bsi_ls/s1600/linda_elliker_resume.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TJ6Xv5uXHXI/AAAAAAAAALg/gn1i7Bsi_ls/s320/linda_elliker_resume.jpg" width="247" /></a></div><br />
I'm pretty pleased with it over all!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow (or later tonight) I'll post my "Bake Me Happy" logo sketches!<br />
<br />

My darlingest darling friend <a href="http://redheadk8.blogspot.com/">Kate</a> sent me a NEW pair of my destroyed sunglasses! Look at my excitement in the photo above!<br />
<br />
She sent them in a brown sugar box with a handmade card featuring a sweet message (*you fucking hipster) and a drawing of the glasses on cardstock of a similar color! Totally BRILL!<br />
<br />
SOOOOOOOOO - These came at a PERFECT time. Work this week has not been great, 3 days, 35 hours logged so far. I've been worried about <a href="http://kelledame.blogspot.com/">Kelle</a> and her dad, my Jeep was in the shop over the weekend, and one of the biggest influences in Columbus's independent radio scene and a local hero in my mind, <a href="http://www.cd101.com/andyman/">Andyman</a>, passed away this week. <b>That</b> has been surprisingly hard. I cry in the car everyday on my way home from work because the whole community is missing him and the DJs at CD101 talk about him all the time and tell great stories. I can't help but wonder, who will keep independent radio alive as well as he did? Who will be as invested in his community as he was in his job and his family like Andy was? As I know all too well, no one will ever fill his shoes – and no one should try, but we can keep his memory and his goals alive.<br />
<br />
Anyway, because I've been feeling a little down (but not too far down – I generally have a peppy outlook), these glasses were an even bigger hit for me than they would have been if I'd gotten home at 6 after an awesome day at work driving home with the top off on my newly repaired Jeep. Instead, they have jumpstarted me into a GREAT mindset to head off to <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2003/06/16/030616fa_fact">my home, well, ONE of my homes</a> (my cabin) this weekend.<br />
<br />
I'll be relaxin to the maxin with my NEW AWESOME SUNGLASSES!!!<br />
<br />
I told my mom yesterday that I was so excited about going on vacation that I want to pack 6 pairs of sunglasses (I love sunglasses). We'll see how many actually get packed. I'll take a picture and post it later.<br />
<br />
I'll also take LOADS of pictures of M!CH!GAN! and post them as well. I hope I get good ones.<br />
<br />
PS - I'm taking these up for a raffle at my family reunion:<br />

<br />
So I know it's been some time since I posted anything of substance, so here is... something.<br />
<br />
These are just sketches done on my iPad, inspired by doodles created whilst on a conference call at work, but I hope that they will be the beginning of a line of characters I like to call, "Paisley Pets" (a working title). So, here they are:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TD5nOBy4RZI/AAAAAAAAAIU/rnPKCxa05sI/s1600/IMG_0026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TD5nOBy4RZI/AAAAAAAAAIU/rnPKCxa05sI/s400/IMG_0026.JPG" width="352" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TD5nTtqaBII/AAAAAAAAAIc/PDDM8ckHotc/s1600/IMG_0025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TD5nTtqaBII/AAAAAAAAAIc/PDDM8ckHotc/s400/IMG_0025.JPG" width="352" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TD5nWyHe30I/AAAAAAAAAIk/1eHQW8tHe8w/s1600/IMG_0027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TD5nWyHe30I/AAAAAAAAAIk/1eHQW8tHe8w/s400/IMG_0027.JPG" width="352" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TD5nZqubacI/AAAAAAAAAIs/TqflKHWET6M/s1600/IMG_0028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TD5nZqubacI/AAAAAAAAAIs/TqflKHWET6M/s400/IMG_0028.JPG" width="352" /></a></div><br />
I'm thinking they can become pretty prints, and they can go on kids' clothes and on totes for folks of all ages. They are obviously just sketches at this point, but I'm excited about what they can become!<br />
<br />
I'm also working on some <a href="http://www.drummondislandchamber.com/">Drummond Island</a> themed designs because it is where my heart resides 80% of the time (probably because I have no significant other – if anyone knows any single AMAZING men, I'm just saying, I could work on THAT too!).<br />
<br />
Here's a little peak:<br />

<br />
I'll be there in a few weeks, and I plan to post a BUNCH of photos. I want to give my new camera a good workout!<br />
<br />
On a serious end note, I received word today that a very good friend's father is not in great health, so anyone who prays (or anything of the like), if you'd just think of her and her father (anonymously, since I'm not naming names!), I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.<br />
<br />

"I'm just saying, this font is kind of masculine – I mean don't you think that Comic Sans is more feminine than Arial?"<br />
<br />
WHAT? Who uses COMIC SANS?!?<br />
<br />
I just couldn't believe it.<br />
<br />
When our VP of Marketing looked at her and said, "You want me to use <i>Comic Sans</i>?", you could hear a pin drop. You could also hear me laugh one "HA!" out loud - I couldn't keep it in! I love that he stood there and put her on blast.<br />
<br />
PS - we design with Helvetica Neue. It's a workhorse and it's beautiful. I know some people hate it, but it makes everything look finished without a lot of work (leading, kerning, etc). WE DO NOT DESIGN WITH ARIAL.<br />

<br />
I've been working like a mad woman and traveling to the likes of Kenosha, Wisconsin (to visit <a href="http://kelledame.blogspot.com/">kelle dame</a>). So, I haven't been updating - but I HAVE been scouting locations (for a possible future store), meeting random people, playing with Bailey and garage sale-ing around this weekend. Kelle and I met a man who is selling our dream house (for the future store):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TB2TrVrsVyI/AAAAAAAAAHs/L8T5lyd3yXw/s1600/IMG_1509.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TB2TrVrsVyI/AAAAAAAAAHs/L8T5lyd3yXw/s400/IMG_1509.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Please don't call the realtor unless you are buying this house for us. We already cut some woman in Ray Bans talking about how it's super cheap because "I guess we're not in Chicago!" CUT.<br />
<br />
Just kidding - no bloodshed, but don't tempt me please.<br />
<br />
We did buy some cool books from him, one of which was this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TB2WNhVxX2I/AAAAAAAAAH0/ME5ZBfXdfGc/s1600/IMG_1513.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TB2WNhVxX2I/AAAAAAAAAH0/ME5ZBfXdfGc/s400/IMG_1513.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Over which Kelle screamed "IT'S MADELINE!!!" causing the man to know that she was leaving his property WITH the book. We also bought a rosemary bush and a large glass jug (for home brewing) and after I told Kelle that if her father-in-law starts making hard cider, he'd better call me, the homeowner gave us some of his homemade hard cider (yet to be consumed). I can't wait to live in his house. ;)<br />
<br />
Anyway - we also met a cool chick at the farmer's market this morning, from whom we bought these:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TB2YLLuDUqI/AAAAAAAAAH8/iD454-dlAm0/s1600/IMG_1517.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TB2YLLuDUqI/AAAAAAAAAH8/iD454-dlAm0/s400/IMG_1517.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Visit her <a href="http://northtrain.etsy.com/">etsy shop</a> or her <a href="http://www.northtrain.blogspot.com/">blog</a> to see more. She was really cool and it seems as though she is traveling from Porland (my beloved Portland), Oregon selling her wares, so if you see her in your neighborhood, say hi!<br />
<br />
Okay, this is it. Visit Kelle's <a href="http://kelledame.blogspot.com/">blog</a> and <a href="http://www.kelledame.etsy.com/">etsy shop</a> - we're working hard at them so that we can become a brick & mortar enterprise!<br />
<br />
PS - sorry for the crap photos - my camera is in Ohio - my iPhone (3G still for a week or so) is having to suffice! <br />
<br />
With love from Kenosha,<br />

Years.) of looking for a throw pillow for my bed, a little email from etsy led me to THIS:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TA11f9iJu9I/AAAAAAAAAHU/33EvS3SzTBM/s1600/hitchcock_pillow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JpnbJOoLd2Q/TA11f9iJu9I/AAAAAAAAAHU/33EvS3SzTBM/s400/hitchcock_pillow.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This is so brill because it matches my 2 favorite duvets AND I love <i>The Birds</i> (and really, anything Hitchcocky).<br />
<br />
I'm in love.<br />
<br />
Click <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/regansbrain">here</a> for the shop where you can find some more amazing pillows, like this one:<br />

<br />
Of which, I'd buy 2. One for <a href="http://kelledame.blogspot.com/">Kelle</a><br />
and one for <a href="http://redheadk8.blogspot.com/">Kate</a>.<br />
<br />
Beautiful - I cannot WAIT for this mail to arrive.<br />
<br />
And let's not even START talking about this:<br />

Normally, with a client I don't know, this would be nightmare–making; however, with Kelle, it allowed me to stretch out my designer skills in a way that I haven't since college. I was able to explore and push and bring it back in and I ended up with several options that we both love.<br />
<br />
Here are Kelle's favorites:<br />

(Lane Bryant's corporate parent) made it acceptable to wear jeans everyday and everyone's morale shot through the roof.<br />
<br />
I think the next morale booster will be instating "Mad Men" style drinking at our desks.<br />
<br />
I'm drinking my scotch out of this:<br />

<br />
I just wanted to share some photos of the marketing and interior elements that I designed (and worked with vendors to create!) for Lane Bryant's new prototype store at Mall of America.<br />
<br />
I'll post some here and for the rest, you can link to my <a href="http://gallery.me.com/jessicaraebailey#100081">mobile me gallery</a>.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />
<br />
Here is the window as you come off the escalator/elevator. The glowing logo is a part of the wall, so we had to be creative with what to do to draw attention and make this window cohesive with the rest of the marketing (a fresh–picked spring/summer theme) – so, I added butterflies colored with an array of our signature floral prints for the season.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://gallery.me.com/jessicaraebailey/100081/accessory_window/web.jpg?ver=12745586720001" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://gallery.me.com/jessicaraebailey/100081/accessory_window/web.jpg?ver=12745586720001" width="400" /></a></div><br />
The window walls below have large vinyl decals with 3–D flowers popping out to add a layer of interest.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The front entrance is simple – I brought the flowers from the window into the interior above the shelves throughout the space.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also brought the butterflies from the first window into the space and sprinkled them throughout. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are more shots of flowers – the center of the store needed something big – so, I made a big statement with this oversized vase of flowers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To call out the different styles of jeans, I added vinyl lettering to the tops of the pant forms around the center table.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://gallery.me.com/jessicaraebailey/100081/bleached_splattered/web.jpg?ver=12745587820001" width="266" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The color story in the linen room is black, white and orange, so we kept the same floral/butterfly idea, but had the flowers converted to grey scale and the butterflies became 100% orange.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://gallery.me.com/jessicaraebailey/100081/linen_room_overview/web.jpg?ver=12745599740001" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://gallery.me.com/jessicaraebailey/100081/linen_room_overview/web.jpg?ver=12745599740001" width="400" /></a><a href="http://gallery.me.com/jessicaraebailey/100081/linen_room_table/web.jpg?ver=12745599460001" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://gallery.me.com/jessicaraebailey/100081/linen_room_table/web.jpg?ver=12745599460001" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://gallery.me.com/jessicaraebailey/100081/linen_room_flower_shelf/web.jpg?ver=12745599690001" width="400" /><span id="goog_1302682630"></span><span id="goog_1302682631"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Throughout the store there are little alcoves with glass shelves, so we created a backdrop to sit behind the glass shelves and tie the space together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br />

<br />
I was going to spring for the large tablet, but I figured that this one will be a little more easily transported AND as much as I'd love to say that I always sketch and design with my whole arm, the fact of the matter is that I don't make THAT many grand, sweeping movements while drawing and my wrist ends up being the prime motion location.<br />
<br />
Anyway - still working on branding Kelle... just wishing this guy was already here so that it would be a LITTLE easier.<br />
