Claire Sloan.
I like Claire Sloan‘s name. And I really like her Sleep for Days series of photographs, a set of time-lapsed shots taken during snoozes.

You may know Patricia from her blog, A Little Hut. This book shares thirty easy projects that can be used as decor, entertaining or gifts. Perfect with the holidays only a few months away. Congrats on your first published book, Patricia!

Andrea Wan.
I can’t get enough of Hong Kong-born, Canadian-raised Andrea Wan‘s whimsical, muted illustrations. They’re good stuff.

12fifteen.
Have you laid eyes upon the lovely work of Johanna Anderes at 12fifteen? Her notecards, coasters and prints are beautifully minimalistic and stark with just the right amount of detail.

Kerstin’s Chocolates.
Really digging the packaging of the Chocophilia line from Kerstin’s Chocolates. If you stop by the actual store – The Cocoa Room – in Edmonton, Alberta you can even participate in chocolate tastings and classes!

Pocket Workbooks.
I’m in full back-to-school mode, sans classes and kiddos. When August rolls around my focus is on one thing: school supplies! I’m a nut for them. I stalk the aisles at the big box stores looking for notebooks to last me through the coming year. And while I normally end up with the 5 Star brand for their durability, I’m loving the more handcrafted ones that are popping up everywhere. These Pocket Workbooks from dozi really caught my eye.

Why Do You Let Me Stay Here.
Last Thursday I finally got to see (500) Days of Summer and loved it. Zooey Deschanel is totally my #1 girl crush! She and Joseph Gordon Levitt have great chemistry and teamed up again for the latest She & Him video…
