Old-timey vintage type is one of my (many) admitted weaknesses. These Folk Banner cards hit the spot – they’re printed individually on a Vandercook letterpress, giving each that perfectly textured and nostalgic look.

Posted In cards, paper goodsI adore these Something Good is Going to Happen prints from Valentina Design. I want to put them right in front of me so I can stare 24/7 to remind myself that it is, in fact, true.

I’m semi-obsessed with this Missed Connections print from Very Small Array. I think I probably need it. The entire print is revamped each week with the latest fifty Craigslist Missed Connections posts per state.

I do. So I love these. It always makes boring chores seem more exciting when they’re at least written on something fun!
I love snippets and scraps of paper. Love them to death, in fact, so it’s no surprise I fell in love with Royal Buffet’s mobiles. Creator Mollie Greene is a girl after my own heart!
I love the idea of a bookplate in every volume on my shelves. They just scream ownership and love to me. Oh, and keep your hands off! These Peanut Butter Bookplates from pink loves brown are adorable and have really great type.

Note: This product is fictional.
Susanna Hertrich designed the Chrono_Shredder while studying the idea of human hibernation.
“The Chrono_Shredder is a device that makes past time tangible. It is a hybrid between calendar, clock and waste producing automaton. It has no on/off-button, thus it is unstoppable, just like time. It features the 365 days of the year represented on a paper-roll. The paper-roll is led through a hacked paper-shredder, which is programmed to use exactly 24 hours to shred one ‘day’.”

Posted In calendars, grand designI first came across Wedding in Your Pocket in an issue of Communication Arts a few years back and have had it bookmarked ever since. It’s basically pure, lovely genius in paper form. The kind of design that makes me envious and a little green with jealousy. In other words, the absolute best kind.
“What does it take to tell the story of a wedding? In our case, six books. Each book in the wedding series corresponds to a specific event in the process: invitation, welcome, ceremony, etc. A custom illustration by Adam McCauley opens each book, playing on cliche wedding terms (think getting hitched and dropping the anchor). The books combine honesty (ten things you may forget) with humor (how to find a hay barn in town), while maintaining a taste of elegance and tradition.”
Loving these fun, intensely graphic poster prints from John W. Golden. I think they’d be perfect to either inject a bit of humor into a home, or to brighten up a child’s room with some gentle reminders for everyday living.

I don’t recall how I tripped upon simplesong a few weeks ago, but I’ve been hooked ever since. Reading her blog led to drooling over her Etsy shop. Great taste all around – check it out for yourself!
