Wednesday, July 30th, 2008I have to admit that I am still feeling some Paris withdrawal (come on - the food, the architecture, natives who linger over coffee at all hours and believe cabbages to be the epitome of cuteness - can you blame me?), so this vintage-style French globe from the beautifully curated Rian Rae is especially appealing.
This [...]
The warm and fuzzies.
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008For anyone with a bent for crochet and kawaii, take a peek at Tiny Yarn Animals by Tamie Snow, to be published in early August. I got a sneak peek at the book this week - 21 round-bodied and beady-eyed critters assembled with (what I am told are) basic stitches cavort through the pages [...]
You’re welcome anytime.
Monday, July 28th, 2008Love the friendly message and sweetly simple, girlish colors of this Shinzi Katoh design.
Cupcake love.
Monday, July 28th, 2008I didn’t think there was any way a pint-sized cake topped with swirls of frosting could be any more precious until I saw these laser-cut wrappers from Paper Orchid…
A hint for Boston-area dwellers… Sweet’s sugary, sugary confections could be the perfect thing to pop into these.
…And I’m back!
Friday, July 25th, 2008Back to regularly scheduled blogging next week, but for now, a few of my favorite shots from my trip…
Clockwise from top left: the prettily weathered view out my window on rue Casimir Delavigne; the menu at the tiny and wonderful Le Sèvero (meat meat meat meat) in Montparnasse; peeking out from the underbelly of the [...]
À bientôt!
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008I’m flying out to Europe tonight to hit up Paris and London, so I will be on a little hiatus until I return next Wednesday - hopefully with a memory card full of fantastic pictures and a stomach full of fromage. Until then!

Egg pants… and the Supermarket.
Monday, July 14th, 2008First off, these are amazing.
Egg pants! Ok really they are just egg cups with feet, but sometimes it’s all about what you name your product. Egg pants! The world has more joy in it now, thanks to Kegan Fisher and Liz Kinnmark’s Design Glut.
I found this on Supermarket, an online shop chock-full [...]
Stephen Floyd.
Monday, July 14th, 2008These odd and sometimes provocative pen-and-marker drawings from Stephen Floyd seem innocuous at first glance. They make me laugh… and then they make me scratch my head.
A trick of the eye.
Monday, July 14th, 2008I admit I was fooled when I first saw these… These lifelike-looking “biscuits” are actually thick debossed greeting cards. From London-based Present & Correct.
One and the other.
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008Surprising, simultaneous hardness and softness in these “knitted” pieces by Brooklyn ceramic artist Alyssa Ettinger - very cool!
To check out more of her collections, visit her website or stop by her etsy shop.
Light metals.
Monday, July 7th, 2008Check out these Jalea Jalea pendants, delicately rendered in a variety of metals by designer Tatiana Sánchez (dodecahedron on the left, nerve cell on the right). They are happily reminiscent of the math- and biology-flavored Nervous System pieces I love, don’t you think?
Via Oh Joy!
Like reading my secret soul.
Friday, July 4th, 2008I’ve always liked tag clouds (must be the unholy mashup of word nerd and computer scientist), but Wordle’s are the prettiest I’ve seen. Here are some of mine. (Who knew “wine” would be such a big one? Seriously?)
