A repeated angle, plus a collage of textures and colors
Behind the photo: This photo was taken at Libby Story on University Drive in Starkville, MS. It’s a women’s boutique, and I was there to take shots of some of their favorite Spring 2012 styles for a client blog post. I looked down and snapped a picture of the floor. Serendipity!
I love the beautiful and subtle textures of wood. Simple wood.
Daily PONDspiration [for well-designed birds of a feather}… Photographer Sharon Montrose has such an incredible eye and skill with capturing the inspiration in animals. Here style has such a sparse, but whimsical quality! I love these two from her birds collection because of the exquisite textures and patterns that take center stage. Don’t miss her full catalog of prints at The Animal Print Shop.
Hello & welcome! I’m Haley Montgomery, and I’m the designer and owner of Small Pond Graphics. I sometimes fancy myself a frog kisser— a documentarian coaxing poignant moments from unexpected places. This blog has evolved from those moments.
The small Pond FIELD GUIDE is part diary, part sketchbook, and part wish list – an archive of ordinary wonders. For years, this space has housed my stories – creative ideas, vintage inspiration, our forays into curious places, and the simple artifacts of quiet of conscious living. Through watercolor, photography, and illustrated tales, these pages uncover the blessing of ordinary days and the wonder found in authentic places and pursuits.
I invite you to open the boxes.
Peek into the drawers.
Rustle through the pages.
I’m honored to have you here.
