Sesame Letterpress created these little beauties as well as other great paperie goods. Check out their flickr for the latest and greatest. I love how their work is simplistic with a little flair. This one they recently shared is so elegant and beautiful.
The video may be a little low tech, but it is still pretty cool. Wildly innovative To my boy is a group from Liverpool with a sweet up and coming sound. I think they are brilliant. Thanks Josh.
Joy's work is stunning! In fact, I don't think I've seen such well-crafted, beautiful cards and little notebooks in a long while. Check out Nantaka Joy, it is a happy place to be. She inspires me constantly with her creative ways.
Ever since I purchased the book Guess Who by Peggy Sirota, I have been in love with her many photographs. As stated so well on her website, she is known for her candid and emotional works and how she is able to capture authentic whimsy, playfulness and introspection.
For us, this weekend was one party after another, literally! Here are a few shots from the Halloween party my parents threw, it was definitely a fun and spooky evening. This year they even got a new butler to help serve pota-toe soup and eyeball salad. And of course, dressing up was a must.

I am thrilled that Lara from kirin notebook introduced me to the world of Japanese design super star Shinzi Katoh. His sweet little illustrations have a vintage and playful vibe and he uses stunning color combinations. They make me feel happy! Not only can you see his work on paper, but also on bento boxes, bags, glasses etc... I am glad to identify his marvelous work with his name now.
Children's blocks are a staple piece in a toy collection for little ones. For a reason I cannot quite explain, I have an affinity for them. Perhaps it is because one block can stand alone by itself or be mingled with a group and still look good? These are a few sets that I have my eye on. seen at babygeared / designed by notNeutral
I just saw these over at kirinote and although it may be a little early for holiday postings, I couldn't resist sharing these clean and hip designs. I believe she lived up to her oath of avoiding tackiness and boring cliches. Yay!
It is almost time to plant paper-whites, something that my family has been doing for ages. It is always fun to watch them grow and I love having LIVE flowers in my home that are easy to maintain, they just add a little freshness and spark.
While drooling over Charley Harper's work, the thought of Eleanor Grosch crossed my mind. After a few more clicks, I came across a new adorable cup and plate line she designed at Skip Hop. Yet, I cannot decide which set I like better. You?
This brilliant book, Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life has been on my wish list for a little while. He was a phenomenal illustrator and silk screener, who recently passed away. Oh my... this book would be a lovely way to look at his beautiful creations.
I've often got together with my collage sisters to cut + paste it up, making montage creations. Although {... sigh...} it has been a little while since we've last torn it up, I became re-inspired by dulci's creations, and hope to get back at it soon. Thanks for the reminder ladulcivida, - love your work!
