Circus Scamp.
I’d love for this Circus Scamp print from Etsy seller cursters minions to be mine, all mine. It’s a little terrifying, but in a good way.

Futuro Perpetual Calendar.
Every time I see a new perpetual calendar I can help but think that I need one. They’re economical – I’d never have to buy another calendar again in my life. They look like they’d be fun to play with and rearrange every month. And I just all around like how sleek and modern they look. The Futuro Perpetual Wall Calendar is my latest find.

Peter Callesen.
Peter Callesen is a talented artist specializing in paper cutting. Detailed paper cutting I might add. His themes usually rotate around fairytales and childhood memories. i utterly heart his work and the way Callsen’s make-believe worlds spill over into reality.

Bella Muse Silkscreens.
Bella Muse’s designs are awesomely whimsical and cheeky all at the same time. Little did I know that quite a few are actually available as limited edition silkscreens!

Hanna Konola.
Finnish artist Hanna Konola’s work makes me feel all giddy inside. Her talents include drawing, illustrating and printmaking – need I mention that I would be completely content with only one of the three? Didn’t think so.

Ugly Mug Coffee.
Sometimes I’m a bag blogger. I’m talking to you, Ugly Mug Coffee. Not only had I bookmarked you months ago after seeing your fabulousness (somewhere I’ve long forgotten), but you even emailed me yourselves and I’ve neglected to put out. A post that is.
That brings us to the here, the now. Because Holy Packaging this stuff sure is good lookin’. It’s that hot guy who walks in the room and you think he’s just easy on the eyes, but then you talk to him and he’s got brains and a sense of humor, too. Almost too good to be true. (I did say almost.)

En terrasse / To Go.
Designer Laurent Corio has come up with a vessel – En terrasee / To Go – contrasting the different ways people in Paris and New York drink their coffee. The saucer has the capability of becoming the lip of the cup and vice versa. So clever and much more attractive than your usual to-go cup.

Stephanie Levy.
Artist Stephanie Levy creates beautiful, intricate collages using everything from origami paper to gold leaf. The main subjects of her work are interiors, for which Levy gathers images from sources such as IKEA catalogs and vintage issues of interior design magazines.
“I like to think of the images I use as “fictional interiors”, because most of the photos I use for inspiration depict interiors where no one really lives.”
Who doesn’t love that??

Destination: Japan.
Destination: Japan is a MoMA-exclusive product collection highlighting lifestyle products from Japan. More than 100 products from established and emerging Japanese designers have been selected across many categories including home accessories, jewelry and personal accessories, and children’s products.
There are so many fantastic pieces, but these are the ones that really stood out to my design style. Apparently I have a thing for soy sauce dispensers – who knew.
