2010 Planner

damn you simple song! i always find stuff i can't live without on this blog and this laurel denise planner is no exception, i just love it!

 

wooden ice cream spoons

these simple wooden spoons by paper + cup are so sweet. i love seeing something so mundane and ordinary customized in interesting ways.

Paper Culture

pretty awesome stuff over at Paper Culture. i love how simple and clean everything is- i really appreciated well edited design.

ice cream sampler!

I saw this and ran out to get these wonderfully charming paper cups. I used them for a Sunday afternoon sorbet sampler. They looked so adorable, they're so simple and you can really dress them up. Next time, I want to see these set on a really sleek wooden tray with a fresh flower dressing them up. I love these!

Chenille bedspreads

I think chenille bedspreads are so underrated. I love having mine in the summer as a light blanket, and the patterns, textures and color can really pull a space together. I'd love to see these techniques translated in to print somehow.

 

vintage china and cake? perfect

I love mismatched china, and I have my own motley collection at home... here's a beautiful way (from Let Them Eat Cake) of re-appropriating the singleton dishware into something which leaves you no choice but to run to the bakery and fill it with sweet things... I think print nest is in need of a staff baker (notice all our sweet-themed posts?)

something sweet

These past couple of days have left me in desperate need or something sweet. I found these two images and, in light of the fact that foodie friday is cupcakes this week, i thought i would put this up. I absolutely love the colors in these, they're so sweet and retro. I can't help but be in a good mood when I look at these.
