I’ve been drying a couple of sprigs from the garden in my studio and Burl Ives came to mind this morning! Happy Wednesday!

Good morning, Monday! I’m getting started with a new adventure for the Fall this morning. I’ve been wanting to experiment with more watercolor lettering, both freehand and more tailored, so I’m trying to add that to my morning routine. I’m calling it “Morning Letters,” and I hope to share some of the adventure (and to hold myself accountable for this new discipline).
We started school last week, and my first-grader has been telling me that she gets to draw and color before they begin morning work each day. What a concept! I know in my own routine, just doing something with my hands to put marks on a page seems to jumpstart my creativity and get my brain thinking about possibilities. So, here goes!
Playing around with a chevron colorway tonight. My daughter has been telling me she likes where the paint colors “run together.” She’s learning about watercolor through this adventure!
Indeed they are. Happy Friday!
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.
