I’m digging the new Spring Friends stationery line from Ink & Paper. The birds, fireflies, and fishies featured remind me that warmer weather is not far away. Check out the Spring Friends (4th row) and all of Ink & Paper’s prettily patterned stationery, gift wrap, and cards here.

I know that I don’t typically feature shops that don’t focus solely on paper products, but what can I say? I think that I got a little mesmerized by Orange and Pear’s selection of Jonathan Adler mugs and the Skinny LaMinx tea towels, not to mention the lovely collection of letterpress stationery, which includes cards from Morris and Essex, Hello Lucky, Blue Ribbon, Smock Paper, Delphine, and Susy Jack.

Studio MIKMIK Pattern Study Series

February 26, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m enjoying Studio MIKMIK’s first series of Gocco printed Pattern Studies note cards. Series One is called Saltaire in Stone and is inspired by the Italianate architecture found within the UNESCO World Heritages village of Saltaire, West Yorkshire, UK. The village contains archways, columns, and stone flowers that can be seen in this series of prints. Seeing these patterns reminds me of the ancient history and classics courses that I took in college.

Anna Cote Personalized Notes and Note Cards

February 24, 2009 // kristen // 1 replies

It’s the end of February in Boston, and by now I’ve grown weary of the short days, and the cold, windy, snowy weather. But, hey, I chose to live here, right?! Anyway, I’ve been looking for Spring, and I’ve found a breath of warm, Spring air in Anna Cote’s, aka Modern Printed Matter’s, note cards.

Modern Printed Matter offers both all occasion and personalized note cards, which feature silhouettes from nature, inspired by Anna’s own photographs. And, if you live in a place where winter can seem to last forever, these note cards will make you feel like Spring isn’t so far away, after all.
