Stationery is beautiful but can get expensive. So what about making your own? This etsy shop sells rubber stamps of your favorite state or city, which you could stamp on plain notecards (50 for $6). Voila, you're set for years. (The ampersand, below, would also make a cute wedding gift.)
Thumbs up for this rad Midwest T-shirt, which I've been wearing every weekend this summer. I'd like to bring it on our trip to Chicago, but can't decide if that's like wearing the concert T-shirt to the concert.
Loft Resumes will give your old resume a design makeover. It probably wouldn't work for the most traditional workplaces, but would be rad for creative fields, to make your resume stand out. Thumbs up!
Business cards don't seem that necessary these days, when people can track down your email address or Facebook page in seconds. So, they seem to have taken on a new function: clever pieces of art to set your business apart. First up, above is an edible card for a survival training business...
A jewelry brand...

My darlings, it's officially the holiday season! Whoot whoot! We've never sent out family holiday cards before (have you?), but this year, we were really excited about it. We went with our favorite vacation photo, along with two different simple layouts from Pinhole Press, and we added red heart stickers to the envelopes. I'm looking forward to sending them to our friends and relatives, especially those who live an ocean away.
In other news: As we were taking these photos at my friend's house, Toby got his first kiss. He cried.
Did this summer fly by? I mean, seriously, I blinked once in June and here we are. Today is the first day of autumn, which, luckily, is an amazing season, too. Looking forward to crisp evenings, rosy cheeks, the smell of bonfires and turtleneck sweaters.
These days, I'm smitten with all the clever tattoos out there, but I'm too wussy to get a permanent one. So I was THRILLED to discover tatt.ly, a new online shop offering awesome, designy temporary tattoos.
How rad are these wine bottles? They would be great to bring to a dinner party or celebration.
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.
My darlings, I had to come back to post about these: How adorable are these custom letterpress-printed onesies? Mav is selling them for the month of June only in her WEE pop-up shop. You get to choose your favorite colors and the wording. I love them; they'd make such great gifts! xo
Shanna Murray just launched a beautiful set of hand-lettered wall decals. My favorite is "You are my sunshine," which looks really sweet paired with a photo (and is a fun alternative to framing). Congratulations, Shanna!
Love this birth announcement. The parents are so cool, and I love how the dad's hands are in his pockets. Very mellow of him. :)
My computer's desktop is always scattered with images that I find inspirational, so I figured I'd share a few. Above is a kiss...
The Mermaid Inn's restaurant logo...
...and children at a Parisian puppet theatre in 1963. (The bottom shot is the moment that St. George slays the dragon.) xoxo
