I love the endless creative possibilities that rubber stamps present. Impress Rubber Stamps has some wonderful options for spring and summer, including stamps to create trendy damask and stylized stem patterns:

Sadly, Purplepinkandorange.com, a groovy shop full of all things indie, is closing its doors at the end of May. However, there is a silver lining for all of you who enjoy indie goodies, and who doesn’t? From now until the end of the month, you can save up to 40% on everything on the site!
Not only can you scoop up super cute cards from MAUstudio and Dear Monday for a great price, but you can also find accessories, art prints, bath products, home decor, and many other indie goods.

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.

Some art has the power to take one to wonderlands created in the mind of the artist. Melissa Moss’s creations do just that for me, transporting me to a fantastical world filled with pretty colored skies and lush, tentril abundant plants that enjoy eating people or, at the very least, teasing them a bit.
Melissa has made many of her paintings into prints, which are available from her Etsy shop. Check out more of Melissa Moss’s artwork on her website.

I’m a typography nut and a letterpress nut, so I was overcome with excitement when I saw these teal Type Collage letterpress coasters from Green Chair Press. I love the bold touches of color amongst the teal typography and think that these coasters would be the center of attention at any drinks-included gathering. Well, they would be if I were one of your guests. Plus, the ink is waterproof, so no worries about running. $12.00 for a set of 5.
