Anna Cote Personalized Notes and Note Cards

Anna Cote Notes

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.

Anna Cote Notes

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.

Wallpockets by Ampersand

Ampersand Wallpockets

Check out Wallpockets, smart, modern cardboard creations by Shea Springer and Tim Karoleff, fifth year industrial design students at the University of Cincinnati. The pair offer their product line under the name Ampersand, and Wallpockets are their latest collaborative work. What an original way to store small items that would otherwise clutter up your space!

Ampersand Wallpockets

Wallpockets are die cut shapes inspired by textures created by clusters of barnacles, and they can be manufactured in any color combo. I can totally see these right at home in an industrial loft or living space or a modern office. – via 2Modern

Yael creates a little bit of everything, including handmade jewelry that incorporates illustration, printable embroidery patterns, and several paper craft printables, including this “color me” stamps sheet:
