Monday Muse: Just Start

Our friends at seesaw spotted this lovely artwork by Elise Joy. I think it makes for the perfect motivation on a Monday.

Eleanor Grosch

Ah! Have you seen this line of fabroc from Eleanor Grosch called Zoo Menagerie? I just saw it on True Up and fell in love. I think the tiger print is my favorite. This also brings me to Eleanor's website which showcases her wonderful artwork. It is so fresh and fun...I could spend a while on there and want all of her prints. Go check it out.

Head in the Clouds

Apologize for my lack of blogging. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend and was able to get back in the swing of their routines. The Cloudly Collection is basically a guys and his friends and a letterpress. Sounds delightful right? Every three months or so they make a new collection for sale and a percentage of sales goes to a charity. I wonder if I could take part sometime?



P.S. I heart their logo.

A few things to heart

This wallpapers cabinet seen on decor8. So fresh and clean. Makes me want to go home right now and organize.

These adorable bird bookmarks. Working at a design firm called Canary, I naturally love them.

And this lovely artwork by Jeremy Slagle.

Three Potato Four

With a great name like Three Potato Four, how can you not already love this mom and pop shop who have everything from old letters to furniture to paper. It is lovely. Some of my favorite things I found (besides the letter "a"'s they have) are this Manhattan poster (I love NY),

this paper file (just plain adorable) and

this chickadee vase (becuse my grandmother used to song me a song about chickadees).

Haunting Posters

Graphic designer Nick Tassone designed some wonderful, simple posters for some of Stephen King's movies. Love the clean designs, straightforwardness and eerie nature of them.

This poster....

Makes me like Phoenix even more. Why? I don't know but I think it is absolutely beautiful. Love the simple four colors and shapes used together to create this intriguing design. Hurry and check them out by The Heads of the State. The limited edition screen printed travel posters feature eight different American cities.

Papernstitch

Have you seen papernstitch? It is a curated marketplace for handmade goods, arts, etc. etc. It takes the best of Etsy and showcases them and then links to the original shops. It is wonderful because let's be honest there is just WAY TOO much on Etsy. Look at these great finds I saw this week.

Wonderful bags by Quote Bag Studio.

This ring I look at everyday by Dillon Designs.

And this poster that makes me so happy by Dee Adams.

Divine!

What a great idea this is! Spotted on Design Mom, check out this poster by Simon Evans titled "Everything I Have". I want to to this but I think it would be quite a timely effort. Maybe just try to take on a single room?

Keep Calm Gallery

I'm sure a lot of you have seen the "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters that are popping up everywhere but have you looked at what else the Keep Calm Gallery has to offer? They have some truly beautiful prints and home items.

They started in January 2007 by Jucas Lepola and Haley Thwaites because of their "passion for typography in poster design, British heritage and the medium of screenprinting." I want to work there...pretty please.

Cute poster

Made by Erin Jang for a bride who wanted to give it to her man. How adorable. She also has some other pretty cute stuff so make sure you check it out.

DIY Furniture

Check out this great project on how to dress up some furniture by decoupaging with a poster. Looks so simple and the piece turned out great. I will have to keep this in my back pocket to try sometime. To see full instructions on how-to, visit the DIY website.
