par avion: a love aquatic

Another awesome find, for all you etsy junkies. I discovered their website while catching up on Hello! Lucky's blog. I absolutely couldn't resist this card, which has been promptly framed and awaiting a place of honor on my wall. Be sure to check out the Hearts & Anchors website for more of Sarah's amazing work.

new releases from cartolina cards

These, much anticipated, new notebooks from Cartolina are making a real impression. There are definitely many things to love about them, but on the top of my list is the price: $4 each! Check out all 9 of the designs at the Cafe Cartolina blog.

font on film

I'm a big fan of PBS's series Independent Lens, so I was particularly excited to read that tomorrow they will be airing a documentary on typography, aptly titled HELVETICA. Their website has a sneak peak and also features a 'What font are you quiz?' in which I was immediately suckered into taking.

And the verdict is... Time New Roman. I must admit that would not have been my first or second guess. Still, it's no Comic Sans. I shudder to think.

par avion: gah-gah for gilah

Another perfect package, this one from Kat at Gilah Press + Design. The coaster on the far right reads 'party like a rockstar'. The perfect sentiment for the brink of the new year.

the genius of yulia brodskaya

I've noticed several of Yulia Brodskaya's paper craft pieces have been making their rounds on the design and fashion blogs. Her work is stunning enough that I thought it deserved another go. They're captivating enough via photograph, I can't imagine how lovely it would be to see one in person.

new releases from ink & paper

Hot off the press, a small sampling of the latest and greatest

from our friends at Ink and Paper.

par avion: otter mania

A surprise holiday gift that came in the post from Jane at Foxy & Winston. She and her designs are nothing short of brilliant. I suddenly have the urge to do some corresponding!
