moving forward; we shall, shortlyJuly 22

Hello all! Thank you for tuning in again, and our apologies for our long absence! There are a lot of changes happening in our studio, and we’d be thrilled if you could be a part of it!

We’re leaving this little corner of cyberspace for a new one, aptly named for all the things we are doing and want to do: “We shall, shortly.”

If you have us bookmarked or saved in your blog reader, please update the link. We hope you all are having a great summer, we’ll see you at our new stomping ground!

We Shall Shortly, if we had our own coffee shop and the treats we’d serve up. Made with 100% reclaimed scrap paper.

time to be outdoorsMay 5

Hello all! We’re still working away busily in the studio, but we’ve been (and will probably continue to be) pretty quiet about blogging ~ we’re cutting down as much as possible on the time we spend on the computer. 

In the meantime, we’re continuing to churn out orders over at our store, and the upcoming summer collection is taking shape. We’ll have more news about that soon! 

If you’d like to stay updated with the happenings over here at Five and a Half, sign up for our newsletter (scroll to the bottom) and we’ll let you know what we’re up to. Thanks!

a friendly reminderApril 15

I was fiddling around with some photoshop stuff (well, actually learning how to use it) and couldn’t resist matching the words (okay who doesn’t already own at least one version of this poster? We have a hand-drawn repro by Maira Kalman in the living room that I stare at every day) with these roosters we saw just hanging out on a lazy sunny afternoon (p.s. not in Brooklyn). 

to the lighthouseApril 14

Last weekend, a trip back in time to the Saugerties Lighthouse. A lovely Sunday of beautiful sights, new friends, and the most delicious buckwheat pancakes.
