the selby.

I love the selby blog. I love the book even more if that's possible. I do love me a good book.

 

the eyes have it.

I love these two pieces using eyes as their motif. The stunning bracelet from david neale is tops on my list but probably a little out of my price range, so I guess I'll have to settle for the wonderful alexander girard tee shirt as a happy second choice instead. 

  

otto treumann.

Super great graphics by otto treumann found over at the lovely hi + low.

 

everyday beauty.

A happy reminder that everyday things can be so lovely.

  

argentine ticket design.

A lovely reminder of the beauty and inspiration that can be found in the utility of every day things. Thanks for the link to this site about argentine transportation ticket design via pinkshirtsandcarwrecks.

 
   

oji & design.

I love these trivets. I'm trying not to collect things as much, but if I was, I'd want to collect these beauties from oji & design. A whole wall full of them. 

 

marian bantjes.

I heard marian bantjes speak at TED last week. Her work is utterly breathtaking. Hopefully her talk will be up on TED talks soon.

    

anita calero.

I'm always so impressed when someone knows how to beautifully merchandise their home. I try, I succeed rarely. Not the case with the gorgeous loft of anita calero which feels like a living sculpture. So good!

 
    

artists cards.

There's a lovely slide show of holiday cards designed by artists over at the smithsonian website. I love this one by frederick hammersley especially.

 

craig damrauer.

Come on, it's so good. From craig damrauer. And p.s., I still secretly want a pony.
