Paper Creations: Sarah Bridgland



Sarah Bridgland's paper creations are a lot to look at, and in the best possible way. She creates collage sculptures from second-hand ephemera and other random fragments. Her entire collection is fabulously detailed.

Cityscape Stamp Set


I adore this cityscape stamp set from Twine. They have 4 different sets available, but this is my favorite by far.

Owl Switch Plate Covers



How fabulous and wild are these owl switch plate covers from Etsy shop Bright Color Art? We've talked about how much we love owls here before, so naturally I flipped when I saw these and couldn't wait to share!

Shapely Illustrations: Cristóbal Schmal



I came across the work of Berlin artist Cristóbal Schmal over on Drawn! and I can't peel myself away from his website and Flickr. All his work has a stunning vintage tone and I love the simplicity of shape and color he uses to convey his subjects.

You're Welcome: Mary and Matt



Plastic bags have really taken an emotion beating lately with the advent of everyone going green. While understandable and equally deserved, we can't forget how much we depended on them (before we knew better) and how polite they often were. Alas, I bring you You're Welcome, a book by Mary and Matt that showcases their collection of thank you shopping bags.

Peony Perfection: Molly Hatch



Peonies seem to be all the rage lately and it's no wonder, they're such a gorgeous flower! I adore these ceramics by Molly Hatch. They're imperfectly....well, perfect. I love the simple colors and and delicate lines.

Immersion: Robbie Cooper




Robbie Cooper’s photography series Immersion showcases portraits of children playing computer games. What makes the series especially interesting is the viewpoint of each image. Cooper shot his subjects square in the eye. I find these photographs both touching and a little heartbreaking.

Early Bird Gets the Worm


By no stretch of the definition can I truthfully claim to be an early bird. I do my best work post-sunset and and can count the number of sunrises I've seen on one and a half hands. It's something I'm working on. This lovely printed letterpress card from St Jude’s just might be the inspiration I need, that and a strong coffee.

Destination Design: Newlywed Map




Jordon Ferney created a truly great DIY for Project Wedding. The practice of marking one's travels on a map with pins is nothing new. But, Ferney's Newlywed Map is a clever take on that old idea. The article includes instructions for mounting the map nicely and resources for buying a variety of pins. I especially like Ferney's idea of marking not only where you've been but also where you want to go and where your friends have gone. I find everything about this project adorable.

Vintage Perfume Factice Displays



Flowers in the Air is a lovely blog of vintage perfume factice displays. According to Love Made Visible, the blogger discovered the bottles in her grandmother's basement and is now selling them. My grandmother used to collect perfume bottles (in smaller form) and I can't help but think how much she'd love these.

Insel Verlag Book Covers



A lovely visual archive of the artful Insel Verlag book covers. They are all quite precious, to say the least.

Pouffes: Donna Wilson



I can't think of anything I want more in this very moment (with the exception of a job offer, of course) than one....or all three of Donna Wilson's Pouffes. I love the comfy shapes almost as much as the patterned textiles. These are truly the chic-modern day take on the bean bag chair.

Fruit-Shaped Sticky Notes: D-BROS


It was a slice bread notebook yesterday and today I bring you fruit-shaped sticky notes. Who knew there were so many culinary-note taking options available. These Kudamemo fruit-shaped sticky notes by D-BROS are available individually or in crates. Deliciously adorable!

Aster Grove Sham



Everything Anthropologie touches is gold, in my opinion. This Aster Grove Sham is so gorgeous it makes me want to buy new bedding just to match it. It's a perfect mix of delicacy and femininity. Also...it's on sale.

Sliced Bread Notebook



The greatest thing since sliced bread just might be the Sliced Bread Notebook by designers Burak Kaynak and Cem Has. The set includes 12 individual slices (notebooks) to fill as your heart desires. A completely awesome gift for the foodie in all our lives.
