Plainly Patterned Greeting Cards

Happy Birthday Card | Plainly Patterned

UK designer Kirsti Davidson launched her first collection of greeting cards this past May, and the fresh collection includes so many cute designs, like this bunch of birthday cards featuring partying pets. Kirsti’s drawings are inspired by a love of character design, pretty things, and friendly pets, and her cards are full of great color and texture. The cutie patootie greetings are currently carried in shops in London & Brighton, and I hope that we’ll be seeing them in US shops soon, too!

Head on over to Plainly Patterned to see the full collection of greeting cards, plus more of Kirsti’s whimsical creations.

Poppin Office Goods

I have to say that back to school “season” is so much more fun now that I don’t actually have to go back to school (sorry kids!), but I always loved shopping for a new Trapper Keeper, erasers shaped like food, and colorful notebooks and pens in preparation for the start of the school year and might’ve been a bit more excited about the first day of school if this rainbow of office goods from Poppin was available back in the day.

Why, hello there, lime green tape dispenser. How about you and your friends, the aqua ruler and hot pink eraser, hop right into my desk?
