Perfect Match

By on January 25, 2012 in found + loved

Internet friend Adam J. Kurtz has again created a charming little mail-out for all you love bugs out there. The Perfect Match Postcard is perfect for valentines or anytime, really.

Stated best by Adam: “this postcard announces what you already knew… you’ve found your pefect match! Maybe it’s pizza, a good friend, or your favorite cat, or maybe, just maybe, it’s a significant other. Let them know without roses, foil inks, or any scary four-letter “L” words.”

Hear, hear! Let’s not be too tacky this Valentine’s Day, folks. Say I Love You in an awesome way like this.

Dynamo Chocolate Type

By on January 19, 2012 in found + loved, gifts + favours, happy eating

The brilliant minds over at Dynamo came up with the concept of combining original type design with gourmet chocolate. They teamed up with Suite 88, Montréal’s premier chocolatier, and let them work their magic. The result was some delicious heavyweight slabs of chocolate, engraved with positive mantras for the new year. Check out their post featuring their mouth-watering typocolate.

A Wedding, in Stop Motion

By on November 14, 2011 in found + loved

Stop motion has always been a quirky/cute approach in video-making. And when Bayly & Moore use this technique to capture weddings, something magical happens. See what I mean by watching the video below.

And if that isn’t enough magic for you, head over to their Vimeo page to see the rest.

Nothing Will Stop… THE WEDDING!

By on October 30, 2011 in found + loved

I’m off to Niagara until Tuesday to catch up on some much needed relaxation time. Short and sweet, but it certainly will be enjoyed.

So before it’s too late… Happy Halloween everyone! Check out this amazing zombie apocalypse invite illustrated by Ellen Forney. I love the black and white comic style. Truly, truly awesome. Certainly not traditional, and I’m all for it.

La Santa Muerte

By on October 13, 2011 in flowers + decor, found + loved

Since Halloween is quickly approaching, I found this Day of the Dead themed work from Ebelyn Hernandez’s La Santa Muerte shop especially adorable and seasonally appropriate.

You can find everything from zombie wedding cake toppers, sugar skull earrings, skeleton couple painted portraits, and much more bright and lively cultural artwork. Custom work is very welcome too! Also as a little something special… until October 16th, 15% of all proceeds will go to benefit the Aids Project of Los Angeles.

Hinged Strung Stitched

By on September 28, 2011 in found + loved, planning + advice

It can be difficult at times to find that perfect (and perhaps personalized) wedding album or guest book. Most couples are seeking heirloom quality, and let’s face it: the local book store might not always be your best bet. Fortunately places like Hinged Strung Stitched do it right. Their handmade albums are crafted with 100% cotton rag, and are acid free and archival; all extremely important qualities for preservation of your photos. These are the type of books that will remain in the family for generations.

Sandwiches and cakes on two wheels: the brilliant business idea behind Tifamade. Tiffany and her pink bike delivery delicious goodies in Denver, Colorado. It’s all homemade with organic ingredients carefully chosen from the farmer’s market, and all wrapped up in ecological packaging. It’s as simple and sweet as that.

Maricor Maricar

By on August 4, 2011 in found + loved

I’ve seen this work trickling on Pinterest, but coming across a full, detailed blog post on Plenty of Colour dedicated to Maricor Maricar had me in awe. And this awe continued when I ventured onto their official site. Their stitched and embroidered typographic work is stunning and anything but average. I love the use of colour and high degree of experimentation. Now I’m itching to get out my embroidery floss and ribbon and attempt something typographic with these materials for my next project. Especially since I’ve been considering it for some time now…
