Caleb Owen Everitt

While I’ve posted his work before, I can’t refrain from sharing Caleb Owen Everitt’s work for STAG Provisions for Men and The Gentleman’s Race. Beautiful, handmade look, and fantastic lettering.

Farmers

Widgets & Stone created a cohesive look for a small Farmers market in Tennessee. The Farmers were being confused with many other local markets so they omitted the word market and went with who they really are, Farmers. Widgets & Stone put together a nice review on their process and if you’re hungry for more images, visit their Flickr page. I especially love this line at the end of their review: “No local farmers, no local food. Know local farmers, know local food.”

Ivana Martinovic

Lovely work from Ivana Martinovic incorporating many handmade elements. Ivana is a senior designer for Landor in Sydney, Australia.

Paper Tattoos

I’ve posted about his work before, but this is completely new. Jacob Dahlstrup Jensen is now tattooing paper. The technique gives the appearance of an embroidered look, don’t you think? And it seems I’m not the only one mesmerized by tattoo art! And Jacob, if you read this – I would love to see you do a ship or ocean themed tattoo on paper. Just a small request.

“all of our products are hand made with obsessive attention to detail. We design, dye, rinse, wash each garment and accessory right here in our shop. Lincoln was founded with the goal to hand craft every aspect of the final product.”

Hearblack

I feel like they came out of nowhere, but I’m loving the stationery of Hearblack.

And I love their other offerings, like Jar of Ocean, and Driftwood Heart. So romantic.

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.

Signs, Signs, Everywhere is Signs

Diane Faye Zerr — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:01:00 +0000

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.

Gold Leaf Lettering

Diane Faye Zerr — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 20:26:36 +0000

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.

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!
