Quick Queries needs your help writing questions to ask the artists that Lindsay interviews. Submit your questions to mintdesignblog (at) gmail (dot) com and Lindsay will ask away. Remember, keep ‘em light and silly.

Quick Queries will be on a short reprieve until September (Lindsay’s getting married!!!), then will be starting back up with your questions in tow.

This note card is a paper cut made in Hong Kong, and I can’t wait to get it in a frame. The woman who sold it to me had a whole stack but wouldn’t sell me more than one (what is with antique dealers sometimes?).

Brendan and I have picked up a few perfect finds at flea markets lately. Here’s one of my favorites, a little $2.00 (!) painting now in a new frame. Finding pretty things at flea markets is just so satisfying!

The perfect summer treat… tarts & ice cream recipes from Golubka.

I’ve had so much fun working with Nina on her wedding invitations! If you don’t know Nina’s blog, Naturally Nina, you’ve got to check it out. Didn’t she do a great job picking out those vintage stamps?
