I’ve seen Three Potato Four’s modern milk bottle carafes featured on a number of design blogs lately (love them!), but I didn’t know that they also had so many pretty paper goods. In addition to carrying items from lines by Henry Road, Nantaka Joy, Serrote, and Night Owl Paper Goods, they also carry adorable imported Japanese sticker stamps (above), fun patterned gift tags (below), and cute birdhouse notecards (below).

I’m digging these sweet writing sets from Mew Paper Arts. The illustrations of flowers, umbrellas, and little girls in adorable dresses remind me of spring. Also, I’m a complete sucker for matching stickers! Have a set on hand for keeping up with your correspondence, or gift a set to a friend.

These stamps from Craftpudding are too cute for words! There’s a little something kawaii for everyone — from bunnies to bears, mushrooms to ice cream cones, and don’t forget cute birdies nested on little girls’ and boys’ heads. Stamps in Craftpudding’s line range from $9-$15, with custom stamps from $20-$40.

They also have a super cute sticker sampler, which could be hoarded with your collection of cute stuff or used on letters and gift tags:

I’m loving these cutie patootie illustrated paper goods from The Little Monkey. I just can’t resist kawaii owlies, octopii, quails, hedgehogs, and more! Illustrations are available in assorted sticker packs and on mini note cards.

I’m getting a kick out of these snarcastic stickers from Anne Taintor. Anne combines vintage images with her own interpretation of the what these people might really be thinking to come up with such gems as, “someone was going to have to set a bad example,” and, “I feel a sin coming on.” You could have a lot of fun with bill collectors if you stuck these babies on your envelopes. Of course, you could also have your electricity cut off.

I also love that Anne has a “Meet the Models” section, where she provides biographies for some of the actual models from the vintage images and tells us where they are now. How neat is that?

The sticker sheets are available in three sets: Domestic Bliss, Cookin’ with Gas, and Bad Girl (pictured above). Each set is $4.25.

I’ve been stalking the new Martha Stewart Crafts site for a little while now, waiting for it to open for business, so imagine my delight when I saw decor8’s post about the site’s grand opening.

Martha is the mistress of sophisticated craftiness, and I’m so excited to see that the paper items and craft projects on the site retain the understated elegance that for which Martha Stewart is known. Like there was any doubt!

You can purchase the Martha Stewart Crafts line online or at your local Michael’s craft store. The craft projects, gift wrap, and tissue paper pom poms are tops on my list, though I’m sure I’d take one of everything if I could.

Nut and Bee is a collection of original character illustrations produced by Annette Lauder, and I really dig their unique combination of ultra cute illustrations with a sometimes sly sense of humor. Check out the guinea pig a-go-go sticker sacks (above) and the angry asparagus mob bookplates (below). Who knew that asparagus had such a temper?
