Another beautiful eco-friendly line… But sadly not available anywhere in the USA.

I love this necklace from Mended Veil. Not in my price range, but very lovely. Available here.

Our friend Noah turned us on to this site which sells vintage posters that were hand-painted by Ghanans after the introduction of video and video cassettes to Ghana in the 1980’s.  In order to lure more customers to the mobile movie houses, people would paint these posters after having watched the films, using oil paint.  As it mentions on the site, the artist had the freedom to make the images more attractive by adding things to the posters that were not necessarily in the films!

I have 3 friends who are expecting babies in the next several months, so baby presents are on my mind… I was at Anthropologie the other day and found these adorable felt puppets which are so remniscent of 60’s puppets. I felt inspired to try making something similar. If I actually do attempt and succeed I’ll post photos of the end result, but for now, take a look at these…

Tara at Sublet Clothing sent me an email the other day, introducing me to her sustainable clothing line. Unlike many eco-friendly lines I’ve seen, the line is well designed! I like these two designs especially…  Thanks Tara!

Ah Muji… beautifully un-branded, well-designed Japanese products. I’ve always loved their sexy office supplies, but these kids toys are so cute too (and priced pretty fairly)!

I just came across this photo by Andrea Galvani.  I find its austerity and surrealism stirring.

Some nice print work from Isabelle Gehrmann…

I came across these great cacti illustrations for the SS08 collection by Woolrich Woolen Mills, but I can’t find out who they’re by… I’m still awaiting a response from them. In the meantime, take a look!

Since today is slow in the design department, I thought I’d show you a beautiful cup of coffee.  Cappuccino from Intelligentsia to be specific.  My friend Kim and I went there over the weekend and split a piece of coffee cake, and had lovely cappuccinos with hearts on top.  Something about getting a drink with a heart on top makes you feel special.  Especially on a drizzly, dreary day like Saturday.
