If you're designing a website or invoice or business card, how awesome are these hand-drawn icons? You can buy the set of 300+ icons for $30. I love that they include glasses, skateboards and toast.
And I haven't posted about typography in a while, but how genius is this llama font? So random and hilarious. He's so flexible! :)
Happy Valentine's Day, my sweets! What are you doing tonight? On this day four years ago, I was feeling sad and lonely....and had no idea that I was only two weeks from meeting Alex. It goes to show that you never know what's right around the corner!
Berlin-based artist Christoph Niemann and his three sons started playing around with cookie dough. How genius are their creations? See more here.
Have you guys seen the amazing new site I Want to Be Her? Andrea Linett, the former creative director of Lucky, stops adorable women on the streets of New York and asks them about their style. Then she features an illustration or photo, along with the girls' fun styling tips, like where to find glow-in-the-dark spider earrings and the perfect black leggings. See her fabulous blog here.
At the Martha Stewart Craft Fair last weekend, I was lucky enough to buy this calendar from Erin Jang. Each month has an adorable graphic (and you can even write in your New Year's Resolutions!). They're actually 12 separate prints, so you can frame and hang them as wall art.
In my family, I'm kind of labeled as the wussy one. I'm scared of elevators, bears, and the dark, and when Alex and I went to Mexico, it took me an hour to get up the nerve to snorkel. I prefer things that aren't at all dangerous, like eating cheese or sitting still. So, needless to say, these hilarious posters were right up my alley.
Remember these awesome city prints? Well, good news: The artist, Blanca Gomez, is finally selling them in her etsy shop! Yahoo!
Whoa, this is genius! You know when you lose your phone, and you have to ask a friend to call it for you? Well, if no one's around to help, you can go to this clever website, enter your number, and it will call your phone for you. Ha, I just tried it; it really works!
When Alex and I first started dating, I'd go over to his Brooklyn apartment and we'd drink wine and order dinner. (I remember always getting insane butterflies when I walked up the stairs to apartment! He would lean over the banister to say hello, and I would get all heart-pound-y.) Anyway, he'd usually put on music by The Zombies, Love and The Smiths, so I thought he might appreciate these clever limited-edition prints.
While Toby is napping, I wanted to share these gorgeous (and not-to-expensive) Art Deco wedding invitations. This etsy shop has tons!
Yay! Today's giveaway is from 20x200, the incredible art shop that sells artist prints for $20 (and up). They're offering one lucky reader a $100 gift certificate to choose her favorite artwork. (My favorites might be the ideal bookshelves, this funny tortoise, Kite Hill and these baby animals.)
Lurve this poster. (Also, I watched Something's Gotta Give this week; Diane Keaton is so charming.)
Remember this hilarious little dude? When I saw the illustration last year, I made it my mantra for whenever people left salty blog comments. (It's such a smart thing to keep in mind, so you don't take things too personally.) Well, now there's a letterpress print! Genius.
How fun are these color system tattoos? So cute for a couple.
A reminder for dad
something sweet for mom
