I've been eyeing this fantastic bag from Target (I can't seem to find it online, but they are in stores, at full price... by Merona.) I talked myself out of buying it Saturday, and my mom surprised me with it the other day! Yes!



As you can see the bag is quite large, making it an absolutely perfect carry-on/weekend getaway bag (and I found it just in time for the Costa Rica trip!)

Stumbled upon this nice little interview with Typographers extraordinaire Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones of Hoefler & Frere-Jones

I stumbled across Janne Peters' online photography portfolio the other day and I was completely blown away. His compositions and colors are amazing. I want to live inside his pictures. Oh - and the food photography? Be still my beating heart!

So I've slowly started to re-organize/re-work my little nook of the house... It's mostly just my desk (which is probably a bit too large for the space) and lots of random storage... things. I won't embarass myself by showing you - but I will show you my newly arranged bookshelf (color coded!) Mind you this is but a mere fraction of my books (and only a few of my design-y books are here - most of them are scattered about elsewhere in piles according to color)

I think I must have this lovely print - and at only $25!

I was catching up on my blog reads yesterday and spied this:



Something's Hiding In Here did a studio remodel and showcased their fabulous selection of paints. I adore the great color-coding (and I really want those paint bottles!)

Just some lovelies from around Etsy... I want all of 'em :)


Absoluut has such a wonderful collection of vintage fabric cum pillow covers! I love the saturated prints.


I'm sure Berkley Illustration is nothing new - but the link's been lingering in my Etsy folder and I just love these rich and fun prints (and their quirky descriptions!)


I stumbled across Erin Tyner's wonderful stills the other day and I must say I love the soft, dreamlike quality of her minatures.

Sorry for that little hiatus - but worry not, dear, loyal readers (all one... okay, maybe two of you) I'm back and ready to start the week off with some shots I took during my Savannah trip a little ways back. I had meant to post these pictures from the Marc Jacobs storefront - they were setting up this amazing window display with hundreds of fake flowers:
