Such sweet little pillows.

Need a lovely Friday afternoon distraction?  Here’s some stop-animation for ya.

Very lovely ceramic textures.

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ll find that I really love silhouettes… in particular vintage ones, however, I love to find people who are making modern-day bespoke silhouettes as well. These are so well priced that they’re hard to pass up. Also, should mention that these would be a great wedding present to a new couple or a good anniversary present for an older couple.

Suili’s shop is so fun to look at! Amazing folded paper creations and crocheted flowers that are beautiful.

Dorky? Perhaps… however we design-y folks love us some good writing utensils, am I right? In fact the very image of them makes us tremble with desire.

Christine from Wonting emailed me a lovely note yesterday, which is always a good reminder for me to scout for new works from people I’ve featured in the past! Just so happens that she has this print below and many others, like this one, that I also really like.

I also wanted to take an opportunity to express my newfound conversion to the Caran d’Ache pens from Switzerland. Seth converted me… they’re beautiful enameled pens that come in fantastic colours, and have a great weight to them. Did I mention that they come in badical fluorescent enamels too? You may already be familiar with them, but have you tried them?

Oh, and I found these rad vintage Avon barrettes recently, and thought “Hmm, must have”. Sorry- not the greatest photo.

I love these.

Wow. Gorgeous, elegant, well put together. Even my bike-snob husband approves. With gas as expensive as it is (and likely to become more so) we should be investing in good, sturdy, and even beautiful bikes- not more gas guzzling vehicles.  I like that their URL is just ablackbike.com– nice and simple.

I love this little onesie by Wood Wood.  Such a great print.

So when I posted my original post about White Capri pleated bags, you all responded very enthusiastically… since then, they’ve put up an English version of their site, and you can either buy directly from them, or you can go here.
