favorite things . Christmas Tags from Locals

Last week I had the chance to visit the Preview Party for the annual Holiday Bazaar in Starkville. I did the graphics for the event and it was fun to see so many great vendors from around the region at this Christmas marketplace. I didn’t go to buy. I just went to get photographs, but as I was walking out, I saw these. I couldn’t resist the lovely Christmas tags from Loopteloo, a vendor from West Point, Mississippi. I  may have to use these tags to decorate my office tree. I think my favorite (today) is the caged bird with the spot of sparkle atop her home!

Check out the local finds in your neck of the woods this Christmas. Lots of stuff to crave in your own places!

favorite things . Chairs on Pillows

Today I’m craving these great pillows from Inhabit featuring illustrations of iconic Modernist chairs printed on throw pillows. The silhouetted graphics really capture the beauty of these chair forms. (I think they’re bringing out that perpetual architecture student in me. Sigh.) The pillows are hand-printed with all environmentally-friendly materials — completely recyclable when they’re worn out. Plus, the color. Enough said.

I absolutely love these 5 x 7″ letterpress prints from Tag Team Tompkins. Dire Warnings. Ha! It just makes me smile, and how about those clever silhouettes? One of each, please.

favorite things . Tiny Packages

Wow! Look at this! I love all small things. I’m a small girl. I have small hands and small fingers. So, I just love small stuff that fits easily in them. Plus, I enjoy the wonder of something intricate and detailed in few square inches. Boy, does this little find fit the bill!

Tiny Packages from Leafcutter Designs proves that good things come in small packages! Each package contains a small object with a companion message scotched in mini newsprint, then wrapped, tied and addressed with your custom to/from addresses. The package even includes miniature stamps. The shop will mail your Tiny Package wrapped in a larger envelope directly to your recipient! What a great way to send a tiny message with big impact. There are eight messages to choose from with clever companion objects. The message for the package above: “You’re as cute as a…”

Proprietor, Lea Redmond also offers customizable Tiny Letters which allow you to write your own text for a mini letter. The letters are folded in mini-envelopes with mini stamps and sealing wax and mailed along with a magnifying glass. AND they also teamed up with Chronicle Books to create the DIY Tiny Mail Stationery Kit above. So clever!

Please. Somebody send me one of these packages.
