suite!

my beautiful, awesome, crafty friend tammy bought me a present just because it reminded her of me. it's an edger punch patterned with the playing card suites! if you're on my blog, look around, it's very obvious i'm infatuated.
i love it. check out the suite confetti too.

love you tammy!
thank you and happy valentine's day!

happy tape...

i wanted happy tape for christmas, but no one bought it for me. so i bought myself a set and it arrived this week!
i don't remember where i read about the colored japanese tape first; i'm just infatuated.

brush holder...

i just saw this brush holder on Black*Eiffel. she found this little British shop Labour and Wait and posted a few adorable pieces including this brush holder...it's so simple and so genius. i must try to make one!

sketch lamp...

this lamp twists from a lamp to a light box! its perfect for small sketches, so cool...
this is designed by Hung-Ming Chen(Hommin) & Ninna Kapadia.
