I’ve been adding to this collection for a while and I finally settled on a few of my favorites to include. I’m also experimenting with a new digital collage approach to sharing them — could be a trend!

1. Sketchbook tissue tape — butterfly illustrations & handwriting from PaperSource.com
2. Japanese washi paper tape from HappyTape.com — love the turquoise and red combo
3. Alphabet tape from House Industries — I think I love everything from this foundry.
4. Red & blue ticking stripe fabric tape from PaperSource.com
5. Semi-transparent washi tape from Top Hat — for an overlapping pattern

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.
