Lotta Nieminen.

It would be fair to say the second I saw Lotta Nieminen’s illustrations I became instantly obsessed with her flat style. It lacks any dimension, yet is chalk full of details and fantastic color combinations. She has a lovely eye for design. {via Kitsune Noir}

Blue Carrot Shop.

A self-proclaimed treasure hunter, Alexandra emailed me last week to share her new venture – Blue Carrot Shop. It’s full of all her great finds, everything from housewares to the handmade. My favorite section is letterpress. I’d love to have a bit of wall filled with beautiful wood type.

Fishcondo.

Easily the coolest fish bowl I’ve ever seen, Fishcondo is a geometric fish bowl that resembles a condo for your aquatic companion. Stack a few together for a condo-like appearance. A glass bowl is surrounded by a white shell and can be easily removed for cleaning. Fishy not included. Definitely makes me want a fish for my desk at work! {via Rare Bird Finds}

I Heart Lists.

I really do, to the point of organized obsession really. The I Heart Lists set consists of nine tablets for list lovers. Each one is bound matchbook style with a foot and a half of accordion folded paper inside. All nine come packaged in a muslin drawstring bag. {via mint}
