My eye has been gravitating toward wooden objects lately, and these three are so beautiful…

This week, my 6-year-old is back in school. And since I’ve had him at home for Christmas vacation these last 2 1/2 weeks, I’m sorely missing my sidekick. SO, in honor of his return to first grade, I decided to share a collection of chalkboard products I’m excited about these days. Enjoy!
1. Chalkboard placemats — Great idea! from b.a. friend
2. Chalkboard tray from Her Majestys Pug
3. Chalkboard gift tag/labels from TLG Crafts
4. Chalkboard wall border decal from Wallies.com
5. Chalkboard globe from Concept Furnishings
Take a look at this toothpick sculpture by Scott Weaver depicting San Francisco — complete with ping pong ball “tours” of the highlights. I couldn’t help but smile at the love of the Bay area that is evident in this labor of love. Not to mention the whimsical engineering feats!

The 12 Days of Christmas are almost over, but I couldn’t resist this great set of dessert plates from Rosanna, Inc. depicting each day in the carol. They have the perfect touch of whimsy to make sure holiday spirits are in full swing!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I came across these amazing tiny ribbon sculptures from Ribbonesia. They are really a gift in themselves. Enjoy and be inspired!
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.
