ho Ho HO!
Or ha Ha HA for those particularly sensitive in Australia (Click here if you don't know what I'm talking about.) Anyway, now that Thanksgiving is over both in Canada and the US, I think it's safe to break out all things Christmas. Let's get started with some cheeky cards from Bumble Ink. //Read More
Five For Friday – In the Kitchen
In celebration of the US Thanksgiving, thought we'd break out the stationery to keep the cook organized. This holiday, impress the in-laws with skills not only in the seasoning department, but also the planning. Or for those with kitchen-phobia, motivate yourself to cook with some awefully cute kitchen cards. //Read More
Hina Aoyama
When I was young, someone gave me beautiful Chinese paper cuts (the art, not the swear-inducing accident). It seems I was in love with all things paper even back then. These pieces of paper art, delicately placed between two sheets of tissue paper were of traditional motifs brought to life using hundreds of intricate cuts. Fast forward to today and this ancient art is still being practiced. //Read More
Mink
I'm sure we've all seen really great packaging for chocolate on the outside but what about designs on the inside, literally? The graphics on the bon bons from Mink really caught my eye not only because it's different but also really fun! //Read More
Paper Doll Pups
Who says dogs can't wear clothes? I'm not a pet owner and I never understood the demand for all the frilly luxuries being sold for pets. But after seeing this Eggpress paper doll concept for dogs, I think I came to terms with the hype - let's just have some fun. //Read More
Repeat After Me
Welcome to Monday everyone! Get your dose of notebooks and journals with everyday objects used as patterns. //Read More
Five for Friday – Cheese
There are few things that rival my love for stationery (excluding friends and family of course!) Wine and cheese are two of those things. My enduring love for cheese began when I was little. Grilled cheese sandwiches with Kraft Singles. The little party cubes with the laughing cow. Even my Dad would save the single serving cheese snack from his business trips coming home for me. And this was all before having tasted NON-processed cheese! //Read More
Home Letterpress!
Received this email from Paper Source yesterday about a new and personal-sized letterpress machine! Gift giving season is here and it's time to start making your Christmas wish list! Will this be on yours? //Read More
Winged Wheel – Wheeee!
The weather is dreary and depressing here in Vancouver. There's been a lot of rain and gray days and while I know complaining about rain in Vancouver is like complaining about traffic in NYC (in other words, pointless), I was in need of a pick me up. Winged Wheel to the rescue! //Read More
Also Pretty on the Outside
To build on yesterday's theme of packaging, thought I'd share more favourites that draw our eye in store. I had the chance to visit Phoenix a few weeks ago and walk the amazing Anthropologie store in the Scottsdale mall. Voluspa Candles and scents, another source for patterns, colour combos and "well put together" designs. //Read More
