“Big Red Star”
I saw this very creative pillow idea from Savannah, GA-based Love Lane Designs in the April issue of Southern Living, and it really struck a chord (with a smile). It’s such a small thing–a simple set of numbers and symbols, really. But, I guess it’s a pretty big small thing to know your coordinates, that spot on the planet where your heart resides. Sometimes the coordinates are right where you lay your head and sometimes they’re traveling off somewhere with those who carry your heart around. Regardless, I love this tangible reminder of one small and simple fact… where you are. {and it’s hand-screenprinted, folks!}
Visit lovelanedesigns.com for more of the beautiful work of Lane Huerta. The “latitude” pillow can be customized with your chosen coordinates.
Daily PONDspiration [for well-designed mathematics}… I’m inspired by the details this morning and California-based Heath Ceramics offers some great ones for the modern-loving home. Their new ceramic house number tiles feature the iconic typefaces of Richard Neutra (top) and Charles & Ray Eames — both architects and designers on the who’s who of the Modern Movement. I love the way the colors and the raised digits really showcase these classics and highlight the simple shapes of the numerals we see every day. Neutra and the Eames union created the lettering as details and signage for some of their built work. They have been exquisitely embraced and expanded in full typeface sets by House Industries, and now interpreted in ceramics by Heath. Inspiring shapes!
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.
