letterpress fortune teller + weekly wrap up + rss note

popfortunetellerinhands
whew! it’s been a long week here at d*s. as many of you have noticed we’ve been making some changes to the rss feed in an attempt to lighten the blow of our image serving costs. i really appreciate everyone’s patience- we’re aware that images are appearing in smaller sizes (or not at all) and hope to have the issue remedied shortly. we’re looking into a number of options to keep both rss readers and regular site readers happy. if you want any more details on the situation you can click here and see my explanation in the comment section (my comments are in pink boxes). i really appreciate your patience with us as we figure out a good compromise.

in happier news, today is a day-off for some of you so i’ll be signing off early today to celebrate ac actually getting a day off from work. i hope you’ll all enjoy the july 4th holiday and i’ll see you back on monday with gorgeous new home tours, a special guest blog/home tour from sweden, a new guest blogger, and much more.

also, i’m thrilled to announce that alissa and ryan from horne (our guest bloggers for the week) will be returning every month with their “behind the bar” column. starting in august, they’ll be posting a delicious drink recipe every last friday of the month. stay tuned!

LOVE fortune tellers…they remind me of fourth grade…and so does Bob Saget aka Danny Tanner.

I love Eva, I think she is one of the most talented letterpress artists around and I say artist because her letterpress abilities are sublime and she’s nice and professional to boot!

I think the way you’ve set up the formatting for the RSS feeds is fine, and it encourages people to open your post if they want to see more.

thanks- i’m going to customize it a bit more so it’s a tad bit prettier, but for now, i’m hoping that makes a dent in the image hosting. fingers crossed ;)
