Snookus Clever Organization

May 15, 2007 // kristen // 0 replies

I’m constantly looking for ways to organize my life, and it’s always nice to find a company that creates organizational products with style and humor. Snookus does just that, with their cute and clever notepads, each of which has a fitting quote at the bottom.

My personal favorites include the “think positive” notepad (pictured above), which is inspirational as well as organizational, and the “can’t decide” notepad, which is perfect for those situations where you need to weigh the good against the bad. If you have a babysitter, you’ll also want to check out the awesome “sitter’s cheat sheet” featuring a quote from Mary Poppins!

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.

Anne Taintor Vintage Snark Stickers

May 10, 2007 // kristen // 0 replies

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.

Melissa Moss Art Prints

May 09, 2007 // kristen // 0 replies

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.
