Find 17 Apart on Instagram — Finally!

That's right, we finally got with the program and set up a 17Apart Instagram account! If you haven't had enough of us already, we hope to share even more snaps from our little world. Who knows, Basil might even post from time to time. For our first post, we pieced together a bunch of mismatched antique typeface letters we'd found at an antique shop going out of business on our last trip up to Harrisonburg.

And while we're in the picture-following spirit, you can find and follow Tim's or my own Instagram accounts if you fancy! Are you on Instagram? Let us know so we can follow along with your world as well.
