mimi sato




Aren't these incredible?  I can't keep picking up my jaw off the floor. I couldn't even decide which ones to post they are all so amazing.  Mimi Sato is based in Toronto and creates these amazing little mixed media illustrations from found textiles. Couldn't you just live in one?  Mimi also has a blog and is making steps toward opening an Etsy shop!! Sign me up to make a purchase. 

Everyone have a great weekend! I have been working on some major projects, one which will be revealed MONDAY!   

I'm seeing this tonight.

who remembers??




An email in my inbox just took me back to my 9th birthday when I was DYING for a Swatch Watch. I got it :o). It was pink orange and green, and AWESOME! Steve from ICED Media sent over some new watches by artist Matthew Langille. Which got me curious about his illustrations.  They are adorable and hilarious, perfect mix if you ask me!  

breaking my simpleness




Statement necklaces and this beautiful styling make me want to go against my simple accessory self.  I always seem to be so drawn to beautiful statement chunky jewelry but once I buy something or get it on I always feel like its not me. These are gorgeous though and think I would just suck it up so I could wear any of these with a simple tee shirt of a solid color simple dress.  Also the Lizzie Fortunato Jewels are all just stunning is so worth taking a look at past collections!

holy goodness!

I want to get married all over again just so I can make these! 

byrd and belle




I so want one of these Mac laptop cases. Byrd and Belle are a featured seller this week on Etsy, so I'm sure you've all seen these, however I love them and really want one. Angie Davis the woman behind these little masterpieces says something that I love in her interview. "I never set out to make something just to have someone buy it and I don’t make something just because I have the materials on hand. I try to be as true to my design sensibility because in the end, I think it makes not only the best product but an enjoyable process."

Clock Tower Penthouse






This place is insanely awesome. Who wouldn't want to live in an awesome clock tower penthouse with that view of Brooklyn. If you want it the price is only a cool $25 mill. I wonder if that clock is loud?

Vintage Button Brooches






OKAY! Tell me these aren't to die for gorgeous.  The buttons are beyond words cool but the images are just perfect too! I want to hang them all over my wall. Head over a check out calloohcallay's flickr I think I spent about 2 hours there looking around at all the vintage beauty.

Get Up Printing Kit




I love this idea can I please have these?? Found originally here and spent forever looking at Alexis Rom estudio checking out all of this agency's fun work.  I always love when a studio can keep a consistent look and style through out all of their work. How amazing are these stamps though I would play with them for hours.

Aesop's Fables

My dear friend Tara Hogan of Ink + Wit has created a masterpiece!  The Hare and the Tortoise is one of the first of a series of many beautifully illustrated posters. This would make and excellent gift for baby or kids room, heck I want to hang one in my living room!  Not only is this adorable but Tara always uses 100% post consumed paper and prints with soy based inks.  Love it!!

Nightjar Books


My notebook addiction doesn't fall short from these adorable hand bound loveliness. I have a major thing for notebooks, journals, basically anything bound that I can write in.  Not only are these adorable but check out the little recession pack kit! MUST HAVE IT. Tiny book, tiny animal, tiny tag, I am so there.  Everything from Nightjar Books is made from repurposed materials and just so cute if you ask me. Go see the shop and the blog!

a two brunettes wedding: the reception







Boy was the reception fun, I can't stop looking at all the pictures from it because they are all so hilarious. My mom painted all the Goose Grease wedding toppers! We also did the whole bridal party so each person took home there little "me". It was the cutest, I think I screamed when I saw the cake table with all of the little mini people on it!  I have to say the night flew by I don't even know how 4 hours ended up feeling like 1 hour.  Incredible day all together. Now lets get back to regular posts shall we!!  Everyone have a wonderful weekend.
