The Hunt: Animals

There are animal influences everywhere nowadays from the deer and antler craze in the stationary world to the names of bands such as Grizzly Bear and Artic Monkeys. I thought this post would be fitting if I showed you some of the latest little creature related web stuff that I found (minus the turkey).

Scavenger Hunt: Texty

I love type!  I think it is apparent in what I make , but I wanted to show you a few things I discovered this week with some great type and also show the way some designers are using it. We are bombarded by the written word everyday from ads to general products that sometimes it is hard to really appreciate how beautiful it can really be.

Scavenger Hunt: Pre-Winter Daydreams

There have been a lot of amazing things floating around the web these past few days. Sometimes it is hard to narrow down just a few things to highlight especially as we start to hibernate for winter and the holiday season is upon us. I hope you like what I discovered this week including a few design and art goodies.

Scavenger Hunt: Natural Beauty

October reminds me of the summer we never had here in NY. The rain is gone and it is all sunshine and blue skies! I've been outside as much as possible. This week all I can think about is nature and flowers so I have tried to find things that could inspire you and fit into this theme. I am particularly smitten with prints listed below….

Scavenger Hunt: Cozy Home

This week’s post is all about decorating your home. As winter approaches I start to think about staying at home, warm soups, and how to make my home as cozy as possible. I love collecting vintage furniture and adding to my already enormous collection of great flea market finds. I think it might be time to head to Brooklyn Flea or rent a car to go outside the city maybe for some apple picking and also to see what else I can find!!

Lovely refurbished White and Red Fan

Three Potato Four’s keen eye and great style make it a must see any time you go there

Scavenger Hunt: Fall Fashion

This week is all about fashion!
As it quickly becomes Fall and fashion week has ended in New York I am left wondering what I am going to wear this season. Lots of Blackand Grey come to mind but there is so much else to look for this season.  

Gold Tone Geode Necklace by Laura Lombardi – the delicate chain and statement geode somehow fit so well together.

Susan Guldager’s Black Hug Dress- Amazing hole detail and worth every penny. 

Lookbook.nu is a great place to discover a new look and get inspired by street fashion. This girls’ necklace is amazing especially with her itty bitty skirt.

Beautiful custom dresses from It’s Okay my Dear – Fellow Brooklynite and Etsy Seller!

Scavenger Hunt: More Fall Musings

There's nothing like that first morning when you wake up to the little signs that fall is here. Leaves change and the air turns crisp. You put on that much loved sweater. We are definitely on the verge of that in New York and I'm collecting inspiration like the leaves that will soon fall. Also stocking up on some DIY projects for when all I want to do is stay in indoors.  Here is what I have collected to share with you....

Josh Brill’s Flora Fauna Bird Edition prints – reminds me so much of Charley Harper! 


Quirky Birth Announcement from Mandate Press that showcase some great letterpress and my love for the Royal Tenenbaums.

I'm almost ready to break out of the knee high boots but for now it is the perfect time for these beauties. 

Soon the plants will be brought indoors. I am completely smitten with this egg cup planter DIY from design*sponge. But if making is not your thing, you can always buy them readymade from my pal Monkeysalwayslook .
