Monday

A quiet moment on a Monday — and a good time to remember to pause and smell the roses as you move through your busy week. Beautiful photograph by the stunningly talented thePhotoZoo on Flickr, via you carry my love inside of your heartbeat.

Helen Musselwhite

I'm in awe of the beautiful work of artist/illustrator Helen Musselwhite, whose exquisite hand cut paper sculptures are created from a variety of coloured, metallic and translucent papers. The Creative Review blog has a great interview with Helen, too (and is the source of these photos of her work).

Back to School With Lotta

One of my favourite designers is Lotta Jansdotter — and I love her new adjustable linen tote, made to fit a stylishly creative kid within the ages of 4 -10 years old. Super cute. Ordering info here.
