Infographics!

I love the infographics done by Danish designer PETER ORNTOFT. They are so unique and not overly done.

cargo collective

i love beautiful things. seriously. anything that i find "pretty" or whatever, i love. postcards, knick-knacks, ephemera, jewelry, art, photography, fashion, music, color, packaging, typography, architecture, infographics, prints, everything. that's probably why i have so much damn stuff.

anyway, i've recently re-found cargocollective. which is a " is a web publishing CMS and community-building platform" kind of like flavors, but expanded and catering to those who have lots of photos and such.

a few of my favorites using cargo (and yes, this is a bit heavy on graphic design):

alconic,  rob clark,  joe bauldoff,  always with honor,  mark weaver,  frank chimero,  milika favre,  jungeun kim,  elr*y

learn something

from friends i learned that there's also word of day toilet paper (tho i can't actually find it online). and there's  whatyoucando365 which has daily short videos encouraging you to do simple things to make the world a better place. and tho i just discovered it, there's also a learn something trivial daily site too: learnsomethingeveryday. in and of itself, that might not be worth mentioning, except that the delivery of said facts is too cute!

felt & feathers

of all the world's talent, i think it's fair to say that etsy.com has more than it's fair share of talent. (awkward sentence, oh well). laura of larisa71, for instance, creates the most beautiful bib necklaces and brooches suing mostly felt and feathers. and for incredibly cheap too!

online image storing

One of the reasons I love magazines is that when I'm done reading it, I can cut out all the pretty / inspirational things. Of course, you can't really do that online. ...except that now you can!

I'm sure there are a ton of similar websites, but weheartit is really easy to use (though it does crash pretty often...). All you really need to do is download the bookmarklet into your browser toolbar. The next time you see something you like, click the bookmarlet and boxes will pop up around the pictures in the website you're looking at. Then simply click the heart, and you're done!

Mini Ceramic Vessels

I saw these and fell in love, they're so cute! Completely unnecessary, but so cute!

mini ceramic vessels

we adore these little containers. the perfect amount of cute without being cutesy. just right on your desk or lined up on a window sill or shelf.

white ceramic vessels fitted with wooden tops. each one has a hole (mushroom has 3) at top for a sprig of greenery or a stem to poke through. apple has tiny faux leather stem for a handle.

sizes vary from 2" to 2 1/2" tall, approximately 2" in diameter.
