I NEED these.  These are too cute for words.  Tiny villages, mushrooms, and even a ship or two for your terrarium or planter from The Oak Leaves.

Really loving these embroidered pieces by UK artist Cathy Cullis.  So glad I came across her work today!

Someday, I would really love to go to the Alt Design Summit conference.  So many talented bloggers & creative folks that I admire on a daily basis, all in one place!  Looks like a such an inspiring, great event.

Check out this amazing letterpress coaster from this year’s conference – via Oh Happy Day.

My 2012 letterpress calendar went on sale today at 20% off.  There aren’t too many left, so make sure you get one before they’re gone!  Don’t forget that 10% of all proceeds of the calendar are being donated to the Mass Audubon Society.

Click here to see them in the shop.

Big news!  My letterpress items can now be found at On Centre (Jamaica Plain, MA), Clementine (Middlebury, VT), and Rare Device (San Francisco)!  I’m so pleased and proud to work with these stores and they’re all fantastic – make sure you stop by them if you live nearby.

More stores to be announced next week!  If you’re a retail store and would like my wholesale information, send me a quick email and I’ll get it right over to you.

In a similar post to yesterday, I love this clean, minimalist, and linen look to the website & all the products sold by Love, Loans + Linen.  Wish they were in the States!

Love the design & styling (as well as their wares!) of Ben Pentreath Ltd.  Definitely an inspiration for me right now.

So proud to see that two of my Valentine’s Day cards were included in a Valentine post on Oh So Beautiful Paper yesterday.  Thanks, Nole!

Don’t forget, Valentine’s is now 4 weeks away… the shop has cards & gift sets for each of your favorite people!

These apple triangles from Oh Joy! look so easy to make and so yummy.  Putting on my to-bake list!

After being inspired by these images of pears & kraft paper from OSBP, I decided to design my holiday card for my clients, vendors, and colleagues with pears on branches printed in gold & fig inks and paired with, of course… a kraft brown envelope.  I am so very lucky to work with friendly and talented people on a daily basis, and wanted to wish them well during the holidays and thank them for the opportunity to work with them.  It took me a while to draw out all the pears just the way I wanted them, but I was pleased with the final results.

You never know when a photo will inspire your next project!
