I also like ampersands because they're used as a conjunction, bringing two things together. And what's better than bringing things (and people) together. Jack & Jill. Punch & Judy. Thick & thin. Bright & shiny. Here are a few examples of ampersands I've come across in blogland...

Grey metal ampersand from Ville Kulla...

Letterpress stationery from The Beautiful Project...

A bright ampersand cushion from a sneak peek over at Design*Sponge...

Another ampersand cushion, but this time in muted neutrals. Best of all, this gorgeous cushion is handmade by the lovely Ness over at Marley & Lockyer and its available for sale on her Etsy shop...A small white ampersand resting against an intricate carved wooden panel (as found on Geisslein's blog)...
Handmade ampersand notebooks from Leah Mackin...

A framed ampersand collage from Green Chair Press...

And here's my very own ampersand that is currently resting against the wall in my living room...

Hope you all have a happy and relaxing weekend filled with lots of good things.
