This is a book that I found (but did not buy) today at a thrift store.  I just loved the title and subject matter.  Not to mention the sweet typeface.

This is a fantastic vintage sticker activity book I found on Flickr, scanned by Maptitefabrique.  There are so many other great books in the set “Livres d’enfants avant 1950” (Children’s books before 1950).  Here are many more vintage children’s books spanning different eras.  Be sure to check out this book & this book.

My husband was sweet enough to make this rad (and hilarious) collage for the invitation my upcoming 30th birthday party.  Yes, the big 3-0.  Now you know.   I thought it’d be fun to dress up and have a cocktail party (still working out the details).  So “fancy” is the loose theme, however people choose to interpret that…

Nice work. Especially love this book.

I have always found it amusing when a bowl or glass is labeled for a specific item like “chips” or “whiskey”.  I generally shy away from buying things with such labels because I feel restricted by my own desire to follow the label’s specifications to only use this bowl for chips or that glass for whiskey.

That being said, I still absolutely love these types of containers- mostly for the typography, whether it be goofy or tasteful.

My husband took this photo on the way to work.  Seriously awesome.

Hooray!  Good chums Matt and River at Way Shape Form have a new site with new work.  Check it out…

This is something I’ve meant to document for a while.  Our extremely talented friend River Jukes-Hudson (at Way Shape Form) sent this zine to us around Christmas time.  It’s a documentation of the “accidental poetry” of 21 women on a Russian singles website who are seeking friendship/marriage with foreign men.   It was fascinating to read, and is beautifully composed.  Excellent idea River (and Renée)…

Oh animated gifs, how do I love thee?

Hope you all are having a decent Monday.
