post No.258 Little,Red and Organized

I organized a ton of paperwork around my desk last night and I can’t even tell you how good it feels to wake up and know what / where everything is! This morning I was feeling pretty proud of myself for this great achievement and decided to post on these tidy little design treasures. Happy Monday friends!

Post No.256 Pretty and Grounded

Wedding season is approaching quickly, and I’m starting to get really inspired by all of the fresh new design for 2010! Below are some colors, textures and patterns I am loving. They all somehow capture the feeling of happy springtime colors but are grounded by earthy neutrals. My personal favorite are these hardback journal escort cards! The guests seating assignments were printed inside. So genius.
mini journals + note card flats by Sarah Drake • escort card books by Chewing the Cud • Save the Date by 9 Spot Monk

post No.252 Fall is Golden

Right about this time every year, I feel like fall and the Thanksgiving holiday get suddenly fast-forwarded.  I always want to savor fall until the very end, and put a blinder up to all things December until November has fulfilled its duty. This task is completely impossible for me since I have a retail store, [...]

post No.248 Brooklyn Rehab

I am experiencing a bit of coolness overload, now that I have discovered Brooklyn Rehab. It is a line made of vintage and found objects reclaimed to perfection. I love love love (and want) these numbered napkin rings! Oh what I would do with these little stylers for Thanksgiving dinner -if I had a big long table!

Also pictured: the NYC souvenir, a ceramic owl, walnut wood key, and the whale plaque. You can find more of their line, right here.
