2013 Calendar

Do you still purchase printed calendar? They make great gifts for the holiday. I found these that when you are done, you can trim off the calendar portion and frame the print for a set of artworks, gift tags, or even notecards.

Dahlia Love

These fresh cut flowers from our backyard reminds me how much I love Dahlias. I love the structure and beauty of it.

I even created a fabric called Pompon Dahlia that is printed on demand and can be customized using your own color. Here's a little round up of products inspired by Dahlia.

Weekend reading...

I have stacks of magazine I haven't read. Hopefully I can get to some of them this weekend. At the mean time, I'd like to share with you my favorite sightings from Lonny's December Issue. Happy reading and have a great weekend!

Pistachio Press 2010 Calendar

I received an email from Rachael of Pistachio Press about her 2010 letterpress calendar and I really like her design inspired by patterns found on vintage teacups and saucers of her grandmother collection of china. Love her color pallets! These calendar will definitely make a great series of artwork at the end of the year. Great job Rachael!

Letterpress Notecards @ Etsy

My supplies of blank notecards is running low and it's due for replenishment. So I went to my favorite store, Etsy, to find some letterpress notecards and happy to find so many great designs...


I think this thank you note from Ink and Wit is perfect for those who are in the interior design industry.


These blank notecards are from Smock Paper. Love all of their collection.


How cute are these baby cards from Sweetbeets ! I'm loving the Art for the kids room as well.


Just ordered this Green swirls by Pistachio Press. Works for all occasion.

Tomoko Maruyama

I'm smitten over Tomoko Maruyama's illustration when I see her work at the Indie-Mart on Sunday. I love how playful and pure her design is. Her color pallets are soft yet very soothing and pleasant.

Tomoko is originally from Japan and now resides in San Francisco, CA. She creates illustration, greeting cards, and calendar of San Francisco so visitors can have a sweet memories of their visit. You can find her work on etsy as well as numerous museums in San Francisco and stores throughout the states.

Positively Green Cards

I found these lovely cards from Positively Green in Seattle last week. Not only, they are printed on FSC certified, 100% post consumer recycled fiber with printer using green power and soy ink, but each cards also include an inspiring quote from renown world leaders.




I love their fresh design and how they also include every day green tips on the back of each cards.
