Obsession of the Moment | Letterfolk

letterfolk letterboard obsession

 

letterfolk letterboard obsession

We’ve established the fact that I’m a word nerd. Reading and writing and rambling are kind of my things. For as long as I can remember, words have excited me. So it’s really not that strange that when Letterfolk‘s modernized letterboards started popping up again and again (and again) in my Instagram feed, I was smitten. When I realized that the small company is run by Johnny and Joanna of Our Freaking Budget, I was straight up in love.

The idea of taking words and turning them into art that can be changed on a whim is something I love. I’ve done posts on word wall art and words on handmade pieces and even making a quick piece of DIY word art yourself. But for me, these letterboards are some other level shit. I can change it up depending on my mood (which, my husband will be happy to verify changes often). I can use it as a photo prop. I can lean it or hang it or let the girls practice spelling and writing on it. These things are awesome.

In case my gushing isn’t enough to convince you, I’ve grabbed some photos of Letterfolk letterboards from Instagram to show you different ways people have been using these guys.

Adorable Word Art for Your Walls

Minted word art: Smile

I received free product from Minted but was not required to write a post in return. All opinions, off-kilter styling and messy dressers are mine. 😉 This post contains affiliate links.

I’ve mentioned once or twice that I have a thing for word art. And a thing for gallery walls. And a thing for word art in a gallery wall. So obviously the next step was to create a gallery wall with nothing but word art, right?

I had already collected a couple of prints from The Crooked Nook and Petit Ink, so when Minted contacted me to see if I’d be interested in a couple of their pieces, I knew I had to jump into some more word art. And there are so many adorable choices!

Etsy Finds: Word

etsy finds: word pillow

I like words. I like homemade stuffs. I like homemade stuffs with words on them. Am I the only one?

I seriously get a huge kick out of products with clever or amusing phrases on them. I live for that shit. I’m even drawn to things with regular old words on them. I guess I just like words.

So I took to Etsy and collected a roundup of handmade goodies to feed my obsession (and maybe start yours?)…

DIY: Quick and Easy Word Art

where the wild things areOur family loves books. I’m a big believer in reading to kids pretty much immediately. Even if they don’t understand anything at first, just the sound of your voice is soothing to them. Eventually they’ll start paying attention to the stories and they’ll have positive feelings associated with reading, which I think is incredibly important.

Anyway, I’ve been reading to both girls pretty much since they emerged from the womb. We have tons of favorites, one of them being Where the Wild Things Are. When Max decides to give up being king, the wild things shout at him “Oh please don’t go–we’ll eat you up–we love you so!” I’m not sure how or when, but at some point I start saying this line to Samantha.

I’ve been wanting some kind of art that incorporated the quote for a while now and the other day I decided to make one myself. It couldn’t have been easier.

about the momma

Hi! I'm Jen, a freelance writer and girl mom who loves reading the newest children’s books as much as I love a good psychological thriller. I believe fiercely in the power of kindness, empathy, and really good quality chocolate. When I'm not knee-deep in glittery crafts and girl talk, you can probably find me sprawled out on my couch in the middle of a Netflix marathon with dark chocolate smeared on my face. The struggle is real. Learn more about me here.
