I’ve Got Some Good Vibes

November 27, 2012

A poster from This Good World has been displayed on our dining room shelf since it surprised us at home last month.

This Good World is givin' off some Good Vibes.

As it promises by mission, This Good World has produced a piece that emanates Good Vibes; it’s so vibrant and cheery that it proven hard for me to photograph it, the contrast so vivid when met by my amateur photographer skills that it’s like looking directly into the sun, and has me feeling around for my sunglasses. But you know how much I love a pop of orange in a room, and you can see for yourself how fantastic it looks set on the shelf beside our overflowing orange planter – there was no saying no to this gift from Lisa and Gavin, it makes our day. Even the photography crew that was here a few weeks ago agreed that it was a great fit for our space, and while it’s not yet framed, I hope, hope, hope it’ll be chosen as a feature in a very special publication one of these days.

Fans of Merrypad, I’ve never been one to create gift guides, but after living with this print for so many weeks, I thought it was worth putting it out there as a great holiday gift option (or for yourself, as in the words of one very catchy Target commercial, “One for you and one for me-heee, you, you, you, you, you, and one for meeee”).

Unique holiday gifts are my favorite, and if you’re looking for a fresh (or local-to-Rochester) print to fill a gap on your own holiday gift list, give the gift of Good Vibes and see all of the other great designs they offer for sale.

    Hi! Boy, do I have things to share. 🎉 🫶 Fr Hi! Boy, do I have things to share. 🎉 

🫶 Friendly reminder to focus on balance and wellness: Pete and I lived abroad with our family for the entire month of August 2023. If you ever have the opportunity to work remotely, I promise it to be a worthwhile adventure that’ll change your POV in so many ways. And, If you need an in with an incredible AirBnB in Denmark, DM me. From new playgrounds and museums to the culture and design, making this trip a reality continues to be something we celebrate every day, and I wish everyone can experience it on some level.

💻 Friendly reminder to say yes to new (overwhelming) opportunities: The professional celebration happened upon our return. Last fall, I was approached to launch @homelivinghandbook, a new Pursuit channel for @mensjournal that highlights home improvement and DIY! It has been really fun to see it come to light, and truly one of the most exciting partnerships I’ve ever had. Timing couldn’t have been better, and I’m really happy to see how it grows over time. Please follow along — the team published 150 articles in two months, covering all kinds topics for home enthusiasts! So much more to come. #linkinbio #homelivinghandbook

✌️ the end, many thanks for your support!
