Sunday, January 17th, 2010Love these prints from Argentina-based Paola Zakimi – there’s an interesting kind of melancholy in these childhood scenes… Check out her blog here.
Green is good.
Sunday, January 17th, 2010Nina Bell of Tweedle Press emailed me about her very cool concept – send her your paper recyclables, and she’ll turn your junk mail, leftover scraps of wrapping paper, etc. into beautiful handmade sheets of paper. She also offers customized letterpress printing on your pretty new paper. Here’s a look:
In hibernation.
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010Happy 2010 everyone! In Boston, the new year brought a pile of snow with it, so I’ve kind of been in hibernation mode – wearing thick socks and trying to stay warm. In that vein, I’m especially appreciating this handmade, hand-sewn book by Brooklyn-based Jackie Bos, I Heart the Arctic, inspired by Inuit myths and [...]
Narwhals.
Monday, September 28th, 2009Today I happily stumbled upon this cute pair from skunkyboy creatures (blog here)… button-eyed narwhal friends Noodles and Nel.
You cannot be serious.
Saturday, September 26th, 2009Mini marshmallows fashioned from fleece by scrumptiousdelight in Vancouver.
Yellow.
Saturday, September 26th, 2009What with my vagabondage-filled summer, I’ve been very bad about updating!

In the meantime, here [...]
Concalma.
Saturday, July 25th, 2009I stumbled on Concalma while wandering Old San Juan with D earlier this month – an invitingly quiet and invitingly air-conditioned little shop with a blue façade filled with locally designed bags in all shapes and patterns. I took two home with me. A few shots from their website…
Sweet ceramics.
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009Beautiful little ceramics from Pretty Random Objects, all rounded edges and milky glazes…
Seeing stripes.
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009Ooo… love the subtle bands of color on these ribbon-like rolls of tape (from happytape, now available stateside here). Don’t know what to do with them? Happytape is more than happy to tell you here. Via Oh Joy!
I am eating your head.
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009Just sayin’. These laurageorge prints (available at Supermarket) crack me up! Her work, with its blobby monsters and offbeat sense of humor, reminds me a bit of Fomato – but with a bit of retro flair.
Mental states.
Monday, April 13th, 2009Fomato seems to sum it up…
Sweetbeets.
Saturday, April 11th, 2009I’m kind of obsessed with yellow right now… is it just me? Is it spring? In any case, I’m loving the kid-friendly and very fresh palette of yellows, oranges, and blues in these sweet letterpressed gift tags from Toronto-based Sweetbeets. Also check out their etsy shop and blog for more!
