When I first saw the Fresh Style card file I thought it was a cool way to organize my ever-growing card collection. But then I saw that it actually comes with a set of twelve cards – 4 birthday, 4 thank-you and 4 sentiments – and matching envelopes and it made it that much better.
Sugar and creamer sets appeared on my list of things I have ‘Things’ for about six months ago. There are just so many cool, well-designed sets out there that it’s so hard to choose just one. The Columbia sugar & creamer set from Bodum is my newest favorite. I love the polished chrome finish and the fact that both pieces are double-walled to keep your cream extra cold and your sugar extra dry.
I love a good craft project and am pumped to try out these Modern Number Coasters. They look like a fast and easy whip up which is perfect with the holidays right around the corner. The number font used is a great choice, but I love that you can change it all up by throwing symbols, letters, etc into the mix.

Posted In accessories, house and home, make itMaybe this is actually more of a Secret Admirer situation. Because I honestly know nothing about Klas Fahlen other than the fact that he’s an amazing illustrator. The man is an enigma, but his work speaks volumes.
Modern Printed Matter is the Rhode Island-based brainchild of Anna Cote. MPM originally began as a “night and weekends” endeavor and quickly turned into something much more – with good reason, the girl has talent. As of May 2007 Anna has made MPM her full-time job and in September opened up an Etsy shop. Her designs are clean, modern and fun and a must check-out for anyone who loves papergoods.
My favorites are the fun cards and tags below. I’m also an admitted sucker for her 2008 Desktop Botanical Calendar that I posted about here.
My best friend’s son, Asher, is celebrating his third birthday tomorrow. I can’t believe the little booger is getting so big already (he’s already more than half of me!) or how incredibly smart he is. He can already spell at least fifty words and is obsessed with letters and numbers – seriously smart.
I came across the Count Piggy Bank last week and instantly thought of him. It’s definitely one of the coolest piggy banks I’ve seen and I actually wouldn’t mind owning one myself. Stylish enough for an adult, don’t you think?

I love this unusual Door Knocker necklace by Wren Eleven. A little bit quirky. A little bit vintage.
The above is an excerpt from Writers & the War Against Nature published in the Shambhala Sun, November 2007 issue. It needs to be passed on as much as possible because the sentiment is spot on, so please spread the love around.

I’m sorry for the lack of posts, but I’m headed out early today to nurse this stupid cold I’ve acquired. All hail the NyQuil.
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and I’ll be back (hopefully germ-free) Monday morning.
