Free Fonts - Museo

Jos Buivenga is one of those people who decided to give, instead of receive. His exljbris Font Foundry creates amazing (truly amazing) fonts, but instead of charging designers, Jos decided to give most of them away for free. Only certain weights are fully paid for versions.

I think his incredible attitude pays off. What goes around comes around - his name is heard loud and clear in the whole industry, his fonts are called out in numerous articles. To start your adventure with exljbris Font Foundry, try the beautiful Museo font, available for a free download here, in different weights.

Marimekko Desktop Wallpapers

In order to work with my computer all day I need a clever desktop wallpaper to welcome me every time I get back to work. This time I decided to go with something from the Merimekko range. And these two are currently my favourites. "I love all my children but these two are my favourites" (of course we all agree these two are indeed worthy of affection) and "Oh thank goodness! I thought I'd lost my key to having it all."

Check out next week, there's few more to come. I don't want you to get bored.

Gratitude Notes

You don't really have to wait for Thanksgiving, to realise what you should thank the destiny for. Thanks to Kindred, every day may be your Thanksgiving Day.

Simply print these out (...) and try to write down at least 3-5 things each day that you are grateful for. Perhaps you witnessed a random act of kindness. Someone let you go ahead of them in the check-out aisle. A good friend told you about her engagement. A special bouquet arrived in the mail. You saw a beautiful butterfly during your afternoon walk. Take note of these little happy moments.
