thank you [to you and you and you]

06012

this post is dedicated to every single one of you reading this site. the second anniversary of d*s came and went this year (i didn’t even notice!) and i just wanted to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for hanging out with us here and dishing on design, designers and even a little project runway. starting on tuesday (after labor day) i’ll be launching a brand new feature on the site (along with a brand new podcast!) that i think will bring a fresh perspective to d*s and a ton of great new design. so, tune in on tuesday for a new feature, a new podcast and some more fun surprises along the way.

in the meantime i’ll be posting highlights of this summer starting this afternoon through tomorrow evening: hot button posts, exciting trends and the good, bad and ugly of summer 2006. these posts will later be available on the left side of the blog as summer recaps. hopefully we can look back at seasons as we go along and see what was hot during the summer, fall and winter of 2006. maybe i’ll even go back and organize 2004-2005. so, thank you again- these beautiful cards are from new york stationery studio blue ribbon design. run by nyc based designer kimberly driessen, blue ribbon design has a wonderful range of letterpressed cards for any occasion under the sun. i’m especially fond of the thank yous though…click here for more info. enjoy!

I don’t know what I’d do without this site. It’s my daily pick me up and I wanted to thank you for always keeping it free. I think it’s easy to forget you do this at no cost to us so I wanted to thank you for that. I’ve never commented before so I figured this would be a good time to start.

Much appreciation and best design wishes!
