James Brown’s (no, not that James Brown) Bags print is so much sweeter and more polite than the automated announcements played over plane intercoms today. Each one is printed by hand in his East London studio, then signed and dated. {via The Bedlam of Beefy}
The Swiss Spice Salt and Pepper shaker was created to withstand all sorts of climates and conditions without clumping. Which is really just the icing on the cake when you see the stellar design.
When I worked in advertising I would have killed for something as clever as The Storyboard Book. The concept is simple: a frame for the action and and space for whatever notes you have to go along with it. Take notes, make a list, write a movie, whatever. It’s also perfectly pocket-sized so you can take it anywhere. And this week we’re giving away a 3-pack to one reader.
To Enter, Tell Me:
1. Who would play you in the movie of your life?
2. Leave a valid email address (For notification if you win! Sadly, those who do not will be disqualified.)
3. Do it all before Monday, February 15th at 9am CST
House of Dots purveys some killer vintage-inspired frocks, but what really strikes me is their incredible site concept and design. Here are a few captures, but you’ll need to swing by for yourself to get the full effect. {via Love. Obsess. Inspire.}

I’ve been on the hunt for a vase that does its job or is okay with just sitting there and looking pretty. Yesterday I picked up a ceramic one that is tall, slender and adorned with a white on white raised honeycomb pattern. It’s new home in on my mantel.
But then I saw these. They’re actually called Pretty Vases. And I love the bold, bright colors paired with the unconventional pipe-mimicking design.
Posted In accessories, grand design, house and homeI’m trying to catch my breath but can’t see to. Check this out – a collection of 100 postcards, each featuring a different iconic Penguin book jacket. They’re even packaged in book-like box. WANT.

Great functional design in this Candleholder with Matches and the two never need be apart again.
I own JHill’s Pittsburgh print from her Places I Have Never Been series and now I’m thinking I need to pick up A Toast to Pennsylvania to make it a pair.
