While attending the craft fair Felt Club, I ran into sprout studio, the makers of these oh so adorable good luck birdies and other trinkets. They also have really nice magnets and jewelry, but I just can’t resist these tiny ceramic birds!

Even though I live in California, winter still makes an appearance here. Which is why I am dreaming of spring. These alluring packages from anthropologie promise the essence of spring.  While the vodka cocktail is so pretty I would actually consider drinking it.

The packaging on these Claus Porto soaps is amazing! They are hand wrapped with extraordinary paper that features unique graphics from Claus Porto archives. Beautiful packaging. Luxurious scents. Amazing vegetable based soaps. Totally gift able and get able.

Step in to a world only a designer could create. Lim Si Ping is truly original in her artwork. I just love looking at her website to get inspired. Her artwork takes me into a surrealist world and I never want to come back.

I spent a good part of the weekend surfing the internet in hopes of finding some fun, new ideas… or maybe things I hadn’t seen. I found these adorable little yarn wreaths by Katie Runnels, Jodii’s Recycled Maps Envelopes and Lily Moon’s Collage & Illustration. Nice.

I found these wonderfully designed cards on Etsy. I am inspired, as I just took a lino-block printing class. Now I can’t wait to get into the studio and make something! These wonderful cards are designed and printed by Eliza Jane Curtis, in Buenos Aires. A combination of linocut block-printing and silkscreen.
Inspired by the city’s Art Deco architectural details.

I can still remember when the first Urban Outfitters store was introduced in NYC when I was living there. I still love the concept of the store. Here are a few inspirational color & pattern ideas.

If you like obscure sounds, minimal music, Icelandic beats… and cool graphics & merchandise, you’ve come to the right place. Check it out. The album cover designs are wonderful.
