This year I decided to go old school with my valentines. As in the cut and paste variety. About a month ago I bought the sweetest plate at Target featuring these two little love birds and decided to rip off the idea (*gasp*). But rest assured that the actual pattern making, cutting and pasting were all the work of yours truly!
World’s Smallest Postal Service.
Here’s how it works: You write a letter and I transcribe it onto tiny stationary (1 x 1.5 inches) with a magical transcription device. It then goes into a tiny envelope which gets addressed, stamped, and sealed with a miniscule wax seal with your initial on it. The letter then goes into a see-through folded coin case and is packaged up with a magnifying glass in a larger glassine envelope, finished off with a large “World’s Smallest Letter” wax seal. It is then put in a sturdy mailer for shipping.
Two of a Kind. (via Josh Spear)
Many rings have been exchanged that symbolize a bond between two people… but few come close to the Two of the Kind ring in the romance department. Delivered in one piece, it’s meant to be broken by you and a loved one into two, perfectly matched rings. That way, when together, you really do “complete each other”.

La La Love You poster. (via perfectbound)
“All I’m sayin’ pretty baby…” This 11″ w by 17″ h poster features a lyric from everybody’s favorite indie-surf mutants, the Pixies. Light aqua blue with magenta and white type and a cute little heart on the bottom.
Heart-shaped paper clips.
A piece-of-cake Valentine project: bend regular paper clips into little heart shapes.
Custom Silver Bracelet.
Go ahead – say something sweet in sterling silver. Our custom bracelets are expertly cast and hand-stamped with your message.
This Love is Lame tee pairs nicely with my current Facebook status of “Love isn’t blind – it’s retarded.”
Somehow I’ve managed to catch a cold. BOO!!! I’m hoping some weekend R&R paired with a little alcohol will help to kill it.
This Weekend:
• finish paintings for above my bed
• plant something in my grobal
• start a Wii Fit exercise program
• create a font of my handwriting
• go see He’s Just Not That Into You with E
• make chicken enchiladas
Happy Weekend!

Every Drop Counts is a series of bowls where the bottom of the bowl is subtly inclined to create a whole new way of getting people to finish every last drop. With stories which end at the bottom of the food or with graphic narratives which conclude where the food accumulates, the user is encouraged to finish every last drop. It is the first of a series of objects which are designed to contribute in the reduction of food wastage in the domestic environment.
