just an old-fashioned girl

Hello and welcome. I'm glad you dropped by. If you´re looking for something a little nostalgic of bygone eras with a timeless elegance and a little modern twist – in other words, something slightly “retro” – then you should feel right at home here in my shabby chic room. Month by month, there will always be something new to see so I hope you´ll enjoy your stay and come back again soon.

Create Your Own Font Browser

I was looking through my fonts this morning when it struck me that the preview in Photoshop is far too small to be of much use in choosing the perfect font for a layout. Add to that the fact that I´m constantly adding to the collection without paying any attention to the name of the fonts and it´s not surprising that I can never find them again without a lot of trial and error. After a frustrating half hour of trying out one unsuitable font after another I was about to give up when I stumbled upon the ideal solution. It´s so easy I´m amazed I didn´t think of it before and just had to share it with you. So, for all the other disorganised font addicts HERE´S how to go from this...

...to this
with no effort at all!
