I’ve been meaning to post about the amazing/beautiful/stunning wedding invitations at KenzieKate for at least a month now. But I really couldn’t say enough about them if I tried. I love their modern, fresh take on design. Like adding a patterned backside as well as experimentation with envelopes and adornments. In other words, yeah, I’m sold.
I think I’ve made homemade soup a grand total of ONCE in my life. But if i owned this tureen and ladle I’d be more inclined to experiment!
…styled in bone china, safe for the oven, microwave and dishwasher. Its shape helps to retain heat, and the specially designed ladle is help upright by a little dimple in the base of the tureen.
Posted In grand design, kitchenI instantly fell in love with the work of Kate Neckel when I first saw it mentioned on A Cup of Jo. The use of color, the pure Sharpie-ness of it… sigh. Good, good stuff.
I’m really digging the work of artist Simon Evans. He’s currently exhibiting at the James Cohan Gallery in New York (February 20 – April 4, 2009). Evans is an extraordinary artist and I’m especially intrigued by his piece Everything I Have. It really made me take a minute and think about weeding out the unnecessary things in my life.
Hurrah for super functional design! The duality of Nicola from Bern’s Coat Hook & Coat Hanger is genius – it sticks to a conventional towel rail and once flipped over it turns into a coat hook.

I want this print horribly, horribly badly. I’ve had it bookmarked for a few weeks and every time I come across it again it brings a huge smile to my face!
The design behind this business card for Hilary Carruthers Garden Design is brilliant.

I’m mad about this illustration from Anna Melcon Bond! It’s only on her flickr stream right now, but hopefully *crosses fingers and makes a squinty face because she’s wishing so hard* it will make the transition to print at some point…

I’m not a big sake drinker, but I am big on well-designed barware. And this glass sake bottle would also be the perfect vessel for chilled wines and cocktails. Add ice into the side compartment for instant chill without watering down your beverage!
Michael Karras is the designer and the brains (and the hands) behind The Cutty Spot. The man appears to have the patience of a saint and the precision of a laser!
“Each poster is hand cut and individually set, so no two letters (or posters) are alike. Each is cut out of 22 x 30 natural white Archers paper. The collection you see on the site now includes only the vowels, but every letter of the alphabet is available to order. Each letter will be produced only once.”
