I found these awesome off-the-wall Halloween postcards by Heidi Burton a few weeks ago and have been dying to share. They embody exactly what October 31st is all about: embracing your quirkiness and bringing out your inner wild child! Her shop is closed until October 8th, but be sure and stop by to check everything out once she returns.
Illustrator David Fullarton laughs at our misfortunes. And then turns around and makes a profit off of them with his quirky, collaged illustrations. And I like him for it. If you do, too, you should probably pick up a copy of his book, I Can’t Apologise Enough.
Oh, how I love kraft paper. But as a notepad? Pretty and genius. {via simplesong}
{Unknown}Have you been having an amazing first week of fall? I have. Here in Oklahoma we’re experiencing a lot of below average temperatures and I’m soaking up every moment! Not only did I break out the Halloween decorations (fine, that was last week), but some long sleeves, too. Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy this week’s Mad Props!

His work is most recognizable from his features in Real Simple magazine – always one of my favorite parts of each issue. Unfortunately, neither he nor his company, Couturier de Cardboard, have an internet presence. So we’re left to drool over his work in silence. {via Twig & Thistle}

I tried really, really hard to hold out until October 1st to start posting Halloween goodies, but I just couldn’t help myself! I love this adorable Trick or Treat print from Multiple Personality. {via paper crave}
New graduate Jack Bresnahan exhibited a series of biodegradable plastic lids that repurpose used tin cans into household containers in a New Designers show last June. A set of nine in all, which transform the cans into objects including a vase, soap dispenser, sugar caster, tea and coffee canisters, toothbrush holder, money box and desk tidy. Love these, very smart design at work.
Terrible Yellow Eyes is a collection of work inspired by Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. All work shown is not for profit and created out of love for the book and Sendak by contributing artists as well as blog author, Cory Godbey. A great collection of creativity that only makes more excited for the release of the movie later on this year! {via freshly{blended}}
Love, love, love these ____ I Met And Liked notebooks from Archie Grand! Sassy little things filled with 160 pages just waiting to be filled.
Posted In notebooks + journals, paper goodsBlow me over like a feather, I’m smitten with Beth Retro and her pretty series of photos featuring a strand of fairy lights. I love the monochromatic theme of each one and how the slightly blurry focus makes them feel all the more magical.
