When I grow up I want to be the girl who has the private plane and pilot to take me and my wonderful husband wherever we want to go. Until that day, I’m happy being a girl who lets my imagination take me everywhere.

By day I design bad-ass custom cards and branding for every kind of company (and event) you can imagine, and by night I design travel to every corner of the globe. Follow my real and imaginary holidays here and drop a line to karen@klpdesigns.com when you especially enjoy a trip!

Today proved that sometimes the best vacation is in your very backyard (and by backyard, I mean the 3 mile mark to the Raleigh beltline). It all started with Friday night dreams about a certain blog post and by 9am Saturday Mike and I were stalking our very own Victorian furniture at the local flea market. After some cookie sandwich insanity at the farmers market and a nap in the park, all that was left was to toast our wonderful mini adventure.

Happy reading! ❤ Karen
