Stir It Up a Little.

With the holiday season only days away and parties on the horizon these personalized stir sticks couldn’t be more perfect. Nothing like a little monogramming to make it look like you went the extra mile for your get together. You can choose from three styles of wooden stirs – oval, rectangle and round – and several monogramming options.

ORK Posters.

I’ve seen these little ORK Poster beauties floating around lately and I heart them 100%. I’ve seen this idea done before but not nearly as successfully (in my humble opinion). Love the bold graphic look and use of type, not to mention the minimal color.

Sprinkles Cupcakes.

It’s a cupcake kind of afternoon – meaning that I need one asap. Since I have no way of making that happen I’m feasting on a little eye candy via the famed Sprinkles Cupcakes. Right now they have a yummy selection of fall flavors in addition to their normal twenty that are making me drool. How about milk chocolate, pumpkin, ginger maple or orange cranberry? *YUM* And pretty easy on the eyes, too.

Thanks to Williams-Sonoma you can whip up a dozen in your home. You’ll even receive the confectioners’ “dots” that are Sprinkles’ signature touch.

iWood Sunglasses.

I came across these iWood ecodesign wooden sunglasses last week and am a little fascinated by the idea. Each pair is designed using the highest quality, sustainable, wood veneer and the highest standards with nine varied styles to choose from. A bold environmental statement, wouldn’t you agree?

Monday Goodness: Good Cheap Fast.

Anyone in business knows this rubric. The problem that designers have is that we always want to produce good work while clients always want it cheap and fast – perhaps this is why designers are so poor. Occasionally we succeed at making everybody happy but when clients expect all three every time – well, then we don’t expect to be working with that client for very long.

Hand-Stamped Ring.

This hand-stamped ring is 100% diggable. It’s handcrafted, stamped and personalized with whatvever word, date, name, or whatever you decide upon. Anywhere between 20-25 characters will fit depending on the ring size. Me likey. Me likey a lot.

Uncooked Cards.

The snarky writing, typewriter font and minimal illustrations make these cards by Uncooked are the perfect recipe. (Yes, I’m feeling punny today.) My favorite is the first one about French kissing.

Pantone Autumn.

I’m fairly obsessed with Pantone Autumn by Chris Glass that was created after collecting leaf samples from a single tree. I wish he would do a print because it’s gorgeous. The perfect designer’s wreath.

Window Adhesive.

After using this window adhesive it will totally look like you have an etched glass window. I love the privacy it offers for apartments. The adhesive is available in seven patterns on 37 x 52″ rolls, just add water and adhere. When the time comes it’s supposedly very easy to remove. It might also be a quick fix-up for glass-fronted cabinets. Love it.
