I looove me some geography. I’m a freak at knowing where states are located as well as their capitals. I know, I know. Thanks to Freshie & Zero (who has the exact opposite problem I might add) you can download this super fantastic map of the good ‘ol USA for free. It fits just right on an 8.5 x 11″ sheet of paper and I dare say it’s perfectly framable. Thanks Freshie!

I’m in a breakfast food kind of mood today and these banana chocolate crepes look completely drool-worthy.

Everyone questions who they are at some point. Identity Crisis takes a fresh look at the subject of logos by exploring the process of redesigning existing identities. Get an inside look at the challenges of redesigning identities and see the creative and strategic thinking behind the work.
I really, really like the lines and clean simplistic design behind the Tevere Chair. And in some strange and twisted way it reminds me of a highchair for adults.
A few weeks ago I was out for Saturday dinner with my mom. She had a cold and wanted some hot tea to soothe her scratchy throat. After ordering, the waitress brought out the tea caddy for my mom to make her selection. Upon opening the packet we were both surprised (and a little confused) to see this little drawstring tea bag! The drawstring allows you to get every drop out of the bag in an unintentionally fun way. Completely functional, awesome design which works really, really well.
It’s overcast and supposed to storm this afternoon. I actually love days like this and tornado season give us plenty of them throughout all of April and May. This whole wheat pasta with leeks, asparagus, mushrooms, Gruyere and a fried egg (whew!) screams comfort food to me and would be perfect on a day like today.

Posted In recipesI love the blunt, clever, simplicity behind Mike Monteiro’s work. White Helvetica type on black? Can’t go wrong with that combo, my friends. And the sayings are things I totally wish I’d said first.
I am the proud owner of eight Fiestaware place settings of various colors. And while I’m not all about being matchy-matchy I do love these 3-piece mixing bowl sets – especially the green. They’re just so Betty Crocker Classic.
