Oh So Good is a Toronto-based stationery line by Sarah Roberto. Sarah rescues discarded paper and books to create one-of-a-kind products that are environmentally friendly. Don’t be fooled by my faux bois selections, the shop sells greeting cards, notebooks, and gift tags in a variety of designs.
Set of three Chapter Books from the Marya Collection at Girl of All Work. I can think of about a million things these blank journals would be perfect for. College, a baby’s first years, marriage, etc. I think right now I would use them to separate my lists into a more cohesive system. Yeah, I’m a dork.
Posted In notebooks + journals, paper goodsLoving the vivid colors and smart cropping of Matilde Montanari’s photographic style.
I’m a sucker when it comes to literal translations. This letterpressed Heart on Sleeve poster is perfection.
All the Wrong People Have Self-Esteem: An Inappropriate Book for Young Ladies or, Frankly, Anybody Else is the mouthful-of-a-title of illustrator and author Laurie Rosenwald’s latest book.
It’s geared toward teens (although she’s never raised one) and full of rants, witty observations, anecdotes, handmade collages (of course), photos, flirt cards, fill-in-the-blanks and random games. If I had a teenage daughter she would definitely own a copy of this wisdom-filled bible of adolescent knowledge. In fact, I sort of want to own it myself. I’m sure I could use an update on a few of the chapters covered!
Posted In read upNo better way to start the morning than with some lovely eye candy (er, chocolate?). Take a look at Kshocolat. Lovely, modern packaging courtesy of Marque Creative.

Best of luck! Stop by both of Denise’s shops – d. Sharp and Open Drawer – for some vintage-styled inspiration!
Posted In paper goods, win itI love bright colors, but lately I’m really drawn to muted, softer tones. Like in illustrator Clare Owen’s art. Very pretty work by a very talented lady.
Meet Bake It Pretty. A shop devoted to inspired baking supplies and adornments. Within the walls of her shop, owner Amanda has managed to include not only one but two of my vices: pretty packaging and nostalgic candy. The only question is which to order first!
Posted In kitchen, packagingI’m a coffee lover right down to my very core, but I’d be lying if I said I loved Rewind‘s packaging for any other reason that the retro design. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure their products are equally amazing, but the package is definitely the big sell here. Oh, and the fact that their site mentions something about decaf being like kissing your sister is pretty awesome, too!
