Hand Stamp

I found these numerical stamps on Etsy in the store of Primele. What a great gift for someone, or to use on invites. I love the zip code idea. 0

Signs, Signs, Everywhere is Signs

But that’s okay with me when they are designed as pretty as they are by New Bohemia Signs. The other day I posted about Gold Leaf, but today is all about the amazing sign work from this one company. View their most recent work on Flickr, much time will be spent there – trust me. 0

Gold Leaf Lettering

I’m breathless every time I see a gold-leaf lettering display on a window. Something about it puts me in awe. One day, when I own a shop it will have gold leaf lettering. Will someone please mentor me and teach me the art of gold leaf lettering? The images above and directly below are from Pencil Plus Paper. Reserve window by John Downer Chow by New Bohemia Signs 0

Forage Display

I posted earlier about the Forage Bow Ties from Something’s Hiding in Here but their display is just superb. From the wooden stands to hold the bow-ies, to the perfectly picked arrangement of vintage photos, to the mirror for testing them out, to the wonderful display case featuring their simple and effective packaging. This display and their bow ties are available at The Curiosity Shoppe in San Francisco, CA. Well done! 0

Sewn News

I love these pieces of sewn artwork from Lauren DiCioccio. Using newspapers, she wraps the entire issue in muslin and hand embroiders a captivating photo over top. “I select a photograph from the paper; usually a strong image suggestive of power, leadership or communication; and embroider the image onto the fabric, applying colors in a painterly way and layering line and thread. Portions of the image remain as outline and threads tangle and unravel from the fabric. “ I also really like her embroidered slides! Via 0

S.A.S.E. Club

This little illustration is too cute, but what really struck me was that Invisible Creature is having fun with some old fashioned participation using snail mail. Why? Because we all like to receive good ol’ mail. So all you have to do is send them a self-addressed stamped envelope (decorated in some way) and they’ll fill it with goodies. I’m already planning mine out, oh, and you only have until September 1 and you have to get creative with your envelope! Read the details. “Regardless of your artistic ability, we ask that your envelope addressed to us be creatively designed or illustrated. No rules, anything goes – and we’ll post the coolest ones on Twitter.”…

Garland

I am in awe of these handmade garland strands from kristina marie on Etsy. Especially the CMY set (missing the K form the CMYK, which is black) below! 0

Petal and Print

The talented Katie of Chelle Paperie has unofficially launched Petal and Print, a site that will combine two of her loves that include both paper goods and handmade flowers. I love the large flowers in place of a traditional bouquet, so pretty and bold! 0
