I saw these simplistic letterpress cards from Sapling Press and could not stop chuckling. Every one of them is just the right amount of humor, not too silly, not too sassy, just perfect. And of course the best part is the impeccable beauty of the letterpress print. Stick one of these guys in an envelope and brighten someone’s day or stick them in a frame and display a few above your desk. Gosh I really do love these!
I love browsing the new products at Ferm Living as they always have such pretty photo styling. Of course, my new favorite item is their little wood studios. These guys are made of wood and come in a variety of colors and sizes. While the site shows them lovingly adorning the walls they would look amazing lined up on a shelf or even a modern mantle.
And if you are looking for something a little more mainstream, Ferm Living always has some very unique vases that would be perfectly at home anywhere. If you are looking for a new unique gift, Ferm Living never dissapoints.
I came across Pilli Pilli Handmade and couldn’t seem to wipe the smile off my face. Their little textile creations sure to brighten anyone’s day. My favorite handmade lovely has to be the fluffy cloud magnets, whoich look great on their own, or maybe holding up the corner of a long list of to-do’s. All of their goodies are just super cute, I can’t wait to see what’s next!
These miniature figure by Klimbin, hang perfectly suspended around your neck. I love the idea of bending down to tie your shoe and having a little strong man still perfectly upright. Of course my favorite is the little men riding bicycles. I know i have weddings on my brain, but these would make really cute bridesmaid gifts, or even a fun piece to wear at the reception.
I’m happy to say we Matt and I just returned from a very relaxing vacation. I am also very pleased to report that while we were enjoying the sun and blue water, the sun also came out here in Maine and melted quite a bit of the snow. While it’s not quite as warm here as it was in Mexico, I know spring is right around the corner!
