Autumn comes very gradually here in Mississippi, giving us a speckled transition from summertime. What colors are you seeing today?

Long before the advent of billboards clouding our visual landscape, I guess the easiest “big message” for local business came on the side of the actual building. I’m inspired by this most basic of sales messages… “save money.” Enough said.

Hello & welcome! My name is 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 and 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.

Open the boxes. Peek into the drawers. Rustle through the pages. I’m honored to have you here.
