Me & You Pencils by knotandbow on Etsy, $12

I find pencils charming and nostalgic. This summer I looked for a pencil sharpener for the first time in years.

Do you prefer pen or pencil?

Other things I love from knot and bow:

Have you seen Sweet Paul? If you're into prop styling like a certain somebody...ahem...you'll love it. The Sweet Paul blog features Paul Lowe's styling, culinary, and crafting endeavors, all of which are great.

Sweet Paul is also a magazine available both digitally and in print. Check out the Summer 2011 Issue. LOVE. His use of splashes of bright colors juxtaposed against white and grey and white space are right up my ally.

Today I especially love Paul's use of negative space - negative cookie dough space to be exact. Highlighting the cookie dough remnants as a canvas is truly unexpected.

I've been inspired by text and typography lately, and I'm planning to do some styling involving text sometime this summer. Aimee Wenske is on board, so yeah, it should be good. ;)

LaFerrera Studio creates collage artwork from vintage state maps. I'm partial to this armadillo.

Texas Nine Banded Armadillo, laferrera on Etsy, $225

I wish I could wear this to my work meetings.

I love what the Pom Pom Factory has done with pom poms. They do weddings, styling, windows, DRESSES...

This makes me want to go style something right now, preferably in a very fluffy dress

Second donut post in a row. Also, second general post in a row.

I love this picture from Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin, a collaboration between photographer Jason Fulford and designer Tamara Shopsin.

Very clever.

Maybe I do have enough time? It certainly doesn't feel that way.

I just discovered these Cuben 2010 prints by British graphic designer Simon Page on Minted Condition.

I must have the top right. Too bad I can't find it on the site anymore.

Today was quite bad. Tomorrow will be better. I just need to be awesome.

Everything is Alright Poster, rarrarpress on Etsy, $20
When I Am Sad Poster, theinksociety on Etsy, $16.95

The frosting texture on this cake and the light and airy feathers have me making my grabby hands.

Luckily these are jpegs. Otherwise, I'd be a sugary, feathery mess.

Oh by the way, I also love Minted Condition. Can I be them? kthxbye.
