Totally digging this Lorax poster, paying homage to the 1971 Dr. Seuss classic that speaks to the damaging effects of humanity on the environment. A real short run of only twenty signed posters that are printed on reclaimed paper using soy inks. {via BB-Blog}
Posted In paper goods, printsI’m loving the holiday collection David Stark is bringing to the table for West Elm this season. Very whimsical and sparkly and just my style.

This poster makes me giggle. I’ve never seen anything so risqué done in such a clever manner. I want it!

Posted In downloads, entertaining, gifts, halloween, happy weekend, holidays, invitations, office, recipes, shameless plug, weddingsI love this series of posters by Simon Page. He apparently started designing them as a side project, but when the folks over at the International Year of Astronomy set eyes on them they decided to use the posters as promos. The flat fields of color and old-school look really tickles my fancy. {via Kitsune Noir}
Let me make one thing clear, I think the illustration work of Sandra Juto is phenomenal. And I think this poster she collaborated on with graphic designer Mija Carlsson and typographer Malena Forsare is uber-phenomenal. It must be mine.
Last week the web was abuzz over the release of Hello Handmade’s winter wares, but they’re too lovely to not share. Stay tuned at the end of the month for the release of new printables such as an advent calendar, bunting and ornaments!
At one point or another I’m willing to bet you had to put together a family tree. I was in the 3rd grade.. And I can still remember sitting on the hallway floor outside of the bathroom while my mother got ready for work and grilling her about her huge side of the family. I don’t remember much else, but I guarantee that the end result looked nothing like these stunning modern genealogy charts over at My Tree and Me. (Definitely another item destined for my ever-expanding Christmas List!) {via Design*Sponge}
