It was very nice to spend a little extra time playing with my little ones over the Labor Day holiday, and to enjoy a break from my normal design work. It was also nice to take a few minutes to recognize how blessed I’ve been with such incredible clients to work with! I was looking back through some posts from the first year of Small Pond Graphics, and I was inspired again by posters designed through the Works Progress Administration. In my 2010 Labor Day post, I highlighted a few from the “living archive” of the Posters for the People website. This weekend, I enjoyed another look through their collection and found a few more designs highlighting the value of work that so much of our country has been built on. Enjoy!
This week I was in Columbus, MS for a meeting and stopped by their lovely Downtown area for a few minutes. The small town is the mother lode of antebellum structures, and there are many historic elements in their Downtown storefronts as well. Some of my favorite hand-painted signs are those on brick walls, and this one struck my fancy. Enjoy and have a great weekend in YOUR small pond!
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.
