Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co. consistently blows my mind with her clever design ability and stunning hand-lettering skills. I'm not sure why it took me so long to skip across these DIY Cocktail Party Invitations she created for The Crafts Dept., but it's time to find an excuse to hand some out. Love.Labels: make it, paper goods

There's a good chance hell will freeze over before I own more than the hope of a designer chair. But I can clearly see these mini designer chairs lined up on a few shelves in my office. I probably need them. Yeah, I do.Labels: grand design, wish list
Over the past decade or so I've amassed quite the collection of cameras. Let's see... there's my trusty PowerShot that's usually in my purse, the Rebel, my dad's old Minolta, two other manual 35mm my aunt recently handed down to me, and a Polaroid among forgotten others. Several are missing from my collection, namely a Holga, a Diana and this beauty of a twin reflex lens, the Blackbird. (As a side note, I'd also be up for being photographed with the Blackbird! It's a natural beauty.)Labels: wish list

This elephantine “3” will afford its owner endless conversational fodder as you weave your dutifully nodding dinner party guests through the story of Charles and Ray Eames’ obsession with circus imagery and how the three on which this digit is based hung in the graphics room at the Eames Office and became the impetus for a set of numeral fonts offered by House Industries and that David Dodde lovingly hand pulled this poster and patiently let it air dry to achieve the unique flatness characteristic of air dried screen printing inks can I make you an espresso you look a little drowsy. Then enjoy the poignant silence as your guests consider the cultural breadth of your knowledge or decide if they should feign an urgent call from the babysitter so they can leave before dessert.

The Grace chair from Air is easily one of the prettiest chairs I've ever set eyes upon. Now if I could only get my greedy little hands on six of these sunken beauties, along with a lightly worn farmhouse table and a bigger kitchen or dining room I'd be one happy girl. {via Design Milk}Labels: home sweet home, wish list

The designer in me wants a few bottles of RGB nail polish for the name. The product whore in me wants it for the packaging. And my fingernails want it because they've been naked for weeks.Labels: beauty bag


I'd love to hang a set of these hand screened postcards in a frame on my wall. Choose from Analog, California, New York, France and England sets.Labels: paper goods

Zerotreunouno is a ceramic herb garden inspired by old-fashioned milk crates. Six individual pots and a handled basket make it easy to carry herbs right to the kitchen counter or dining table. (Although I see myself using this as an art caddy of sorts.) {via A Cup of Jo}Labels: grand design

Wall pockets are a genius storage solution and the creation of local shop Green Couch Design. They'd be perfect catchalls in the bathroom, the office or my favorite idea, the entry way.Labels: grand design, super sweet shops

Every so often I get in a mood where I want to take on something monotonous. I can get lost in a good stipple project or organize the hell out of my studio. In fact, I'm in one of those moods right now, but my fine tipped pens are all dried out and my studio is already in order. Enter pinhole art, which only requires a piece of paper and a thumbtack. Check and check. It's on. {via Design*Sponge}Labels: make it
