Monday, December 22nd, 2008We just got pummeled with snow all weekend, so I’ve been holed up - staying warm, making delicious chili, falling asleep without warning, and thinking about flipping the page to balmier months.
Speaking of which - with 2009 just around the corner, it’s a good time to do a little survey of my favorite calendars. [...]
Hearth and home.
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008Love these pleasingly subdued yet carefully crafted household wants from Anthroplogie…

Just avoid the licorice ones.
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008Over Thanksgiving, D’s little niece had me spend a good ten minutes smelling all her fruit-scented markers, which made me think it’s really been too long since I’ve had things like smelly markers in my life. Portland-based Stubby Pencil Studio updates the idea with these eco-friendly colored “smencils” made of recycled newspaper - fun! [...]
Pretty much irresistible.
Monday, December 8th, 2008Evan and Nichole Robertson’s Little Brown Pen offers downloadable stationery and gift templates for sale on their etsy shop, to which you “just. add. paper.” Just added are templates for their holiday-themed items to give and keep. Watch their sweet video for a demonstration.
Too… cute. Cannot. Handle.

Initial here.
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008I kind of love these.
The bright side(s).
Monday, November 24th, 2008It was absolutely freezing in Boston this weekend… the kind of weather that makes me wonder why I live here - below-freezing temps, blustery winds, early sundown - the works. Cruel, cruel, times! I foolishly attempted to take a stroll to meet some friends on Saturday afternoon, and let’s just say they finally [...]
Fugu Fugu Press.
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008I happened upon a charming holiday card featuring a pair of happy chestnuts today as I was stocking up on supplies from my favorite shop and to my dismay, I didn’t have my notebook on hand (a frequent occurrence and very serious personal flaw, I know), so I quickly, mentally scribbled down the name of [...]
Little ones.
Monday, November 17th, 2008I haven’t written too too much about invitations for children’s events, but after getting a request from a friend to design an invite for her one-year-old’s birthday party, I have them on the brain. These are a few designs that inspire me - it’s hard not to love anything featuring smiling animals in party [...]
White and azure.
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008Some gorgeously airy photography from Canada-based Jennifer Squires Productions. Jennifer emailed me to tell me about her new collection of photos featuring scenes from Greece, including Gateway to the Past and Farther Than the Eye Can See (both shown below) - but I just love her other work too, all graceful stillness. Visit [...]
L’Affiche Moderne.
Monday, November 10th, 2008Merci beaucoup to Mélanie who emailed me last week to tell me about the very cool L’Affiche Moderne, a fine art print e-shop offering works from a variety of talented illustrators and photographers. Each piece is one of a 300-edition run of high-quality digital prints. Have a peek at a few of my [...]
9SpotMonk.
Thursday, October 30th, 2008I’m lusting after the papers that New Jersey printshop 9SpotMonk uses for their line of notes and cards - all beautifully tactile reclaimed cotton, which allows for a really deep imprint. Here are some snippets from 9SpotMonk’s collection of readymade notes and cards as well as custom design work for weddings, announcements, and invitations.
Plus, [...]
Textiles.
Monday, October 27th, 2008A little aside from paper to bring you a few textile-centric creations from all over the map. Below are Swedish design-inspired drawstring bags from Portland-based Design Night, raw wool cozies from Berlin design house
