Bread of Many.
I’m crushing on etsy shop Bread of Many and their sweetly illustrated paper goods in a big way! Especially these notecards, invitations and greeting card.

Win It: Thoroughly Curly.
I’m thrilled to be able to introduce Thoroughly Curly Designs and her adorable calling cards as this week’s Win It contest! I think it’s always très chic to have a personal card to hand out as opposed to a business card in certain situations. And lucky, lucky you because you can win the set of your choice!
To enter, take a look at Thoroughly Curly’s calling card gallery and choose your favorite. In the comments tell me which one rocks your world, why you need people to call you and your email address. You have until Tuesday, June 2 at noon CST to enter the contest.
Good luck and may the force be with you!

London 2012 Events.
UPDATE: They were designed by Alan Clarke as proposed posters for the games.
I saw these on ffffound, so there’s a very good chance they’re only someone’s vision of what the events posters should look like for the 2012 London Olympics. But man oh man, am I hoping that they’re the real deal! They would definitely help make up for the disgrace that is the logo.

a little me.
This made me smile. It brightened my day from halfway around the globe. Just knowing that there’s someone this nice and kind-hearted out there is refreshing.
Toni of modern day pioneers is on a mission to share a little piece of herself with whomever wants it. Visit her blog, click on her profile and email her your address. You’ll be added to her ongoing list of people in line to get a little something from her in Australia. Maybe some sweets, maybe a craft, maybe anything little at all. For nothing. Just because she’s that nice and her heart is that big.

Frame Mats.
Forever ago I came across an image of these frame mats from Sycamore Street Press. Only I didn’t know who was responsible for this great idea or where I could find them. But now I do – yippee! Just attach your photo in the center, then trim the excess mat to fit your frame.

Jon Klassen.
I really, really liked Jon Klassen and his portfolio site, burst of beaden…
but then I found out he worked on visual development and set drawings for Coraline.
And I fell in love.

quotes/citations.
This flickr set – quotes/citations – from hulk4598 is amazing. So graphic with color in just the right spots. They absolutely need to be turned into prints!

Falksalt.
The Falksalt site is in Swedish a forgeign language (German perhaps?), so all I can really discern is how pretty the packaging is and that it’s most likely delicious. Both of which are quite enough for me.

Hotcup.
Hotcup is a porcelain cup and saucer that works together to keep your beverage, well, hot. The saucer is quite literally wrapped around the cup and functions as an insulator. So delicate and pretty.
