Animals with human characteristics never get old for me, which is one reason why I love these greeting cards from Eric Hou. The colors he uses are striking and subdued which make for a very calming but fun image to look at again and again. I think the best cards are the ones you keep and frame, and these cards are waiting to be put under glass.
Winner of the polaroid pin: Lindsay {Shrimp}
Thank you all for entering!!!!
I would be so stoked to get this in my mail box. Oh that’s right this yummy piece of cake is the trump l’oeil of birthday greetings. Made from polymers, paint and cardboard this peice of cake can travel cross country in the mail. Well it does take a little more than .42 cents to get it there, but it’s worth it when you think of the smile it will bring to all the postal workers, and the recipient. I’m pretty upset that I found this after my sisters birthday last week, but you don’t have to make the same mistake. Go buy yourself some cake mail from TangBaby’s etsy shop before they blow out the candles.
I’m so thrilled to announce a new product up in the shop. Inspired by the classic instant film frames from days gone by.

As you probably know already I really love good typography! Which is probably why these ceramic letters from a silver garden caught my eye this weekend, not to mention their photographs are fantastic. They are currently available with a few different sayings, but I’m positive that they are going to grow very quickly. The best thing about these little letters is you can space them however you want, DIY kerning, and they can be used indoors and out. How cute would these be as your next housewarming gift.
Have you seen these? I was looking for some colored masking tape for wrapping up outgoing orders from peppersprouts and came across these lovely leaf sticky notes. I personally have a little bit of a leaf obsession so into my cart they went. You can get a little pad for yourself for under $3 at lemontree77’s etsy shop, along with some other great korean art and craft supplies.
I apologize for the recent lack of updates. I’ve been setting up my new home base in Brooklyn and I am finally up and running. There are still a few boxes to unpack but it should all be settled by the end of the week. I decided that I might work better if I had fresh flowers on my desk so I started looking for a new vase on etsy, after all its good to have some variety. I came across these little vessels from Rou Designs. I love how simple they are and could see a little pod of them hanging out in the corner of my desk, allowing the flowers to add a pop of color. Very very pretty.
