Nancy McCabe created this beautiful letterpress typographic world map with blind longitude and latitude lines. There’s also an additional option for custom watercolor. A nice reminder that world is larger that just you when so much is going on around us.

It’s easy to feel helpless when you’re halfway around the world, but you don’t have to. Lots of people have jumped into action, creating beautiful pieces that are both creative and heartbreaking. All of the proceeds from the following prints go directly to Japan and their rescue/rebuilding efforts. You can also donate through several more traditional means right here.

Artist Candy Chang has put up a great installation at 900 Marigny Street in her neighborhood in New Orleans. During the course of one month and seven hours she turned the side of an abandoned house into a giant chalkboard to help people remember what’s important in life. If you’re in the area stop by and add your two cents to the Before I die… piece (she even provides the chalk!). {via The Bedlam of Beefy}

I’ve seen so many fantastic DIYs this week! Kate’s hairpin leg desk is last, but certainly not least. And it only costs around $100. The wood stain is gorgeous.

I’m so head over heels for the tea towels from zakka nouveau that I want to wear them as scarves. Kitchen linens as couture.

My newly chopped blunt bangs, essie’s poppy red Lacquered Up polish, and some serious black eyeliner are making me feel quite French today. The oatmeal I ate for breakfast did not. I bet this Honey Tartine from Anne of Pret a Voyager could change all that. {via the kitchn}
