Holiday stuff already?! October 22, 2009

As always, the holidays have completely snuck up on me and I’m in complete denial. While there’s a side of me that would love summer to last year round, admittedly there are still aspects of the holidays that are enjoyable and it’s amazing that with just a little Williams Sonoma mulling spice and a fire I can turn from grinch to a Jingle Bell Rock belting, mistletoe wielding bundle of cheer (actually that’s not entirely true, usually the belting comes after some generous servings of spiked egg nog).

Well no matter how you get into the spirit, one undeniable part of the holidays are Christmas cards. Every year I think I’m going to get something super cute and then wait until the last minute and get the same old generic cards. Well this year will be different! I just found these awesome letterpress cards from Pancake & Franks. I love letterpress and I’m really enjoying their quirky yet minimal designs.

Pancake & Franks is a local S.F. company that strives to promote sustainability by using only 100% post-consumer recycled paper and non-toxic soy-based inks for printing. So not only are their designs fabulous, they’re saving the planet one card at a time.

Check out their site, they also have some great b-day cards!

I came across this NY Times article today and just thought it would be fun to pass along. It’s a great interactive piece featuring the transformation of a Brooklyn loft using a $5k budget. I love the mix of vintage pieces with inexpensive options. I also think this is a fabulous example of how important space planning is. Take a peak at the before pics and you’ll see what a difference the new layout makes!

First off, I apologize for being completely M.I.A lately. Fall has brought our little household and my business some amazing changes and plenty of work so I haven’t had much to post, which I will attempt to correct starting this week.

Second, I came across the Barbie “hearts” (ok I’m not hip enough to figure out how to create the heart icon) Jonathan Adler collection this evening. I know he’s had this for awhile but this was the first chance I had to take a peak and it just cracked me up. I specifically love the Barbie accessory pack (pictured above) and if I still played with Barbies (societal expectations and the fact that my husband would seriously question my sanity, required that I give up this pastime long ago) I would totally buy that pink sofa for her Dream House. Hell, I’d like to buy that sofa for my house … ok maybe that’s a bit over the top. Either way, it brought a smile to my face this Sunday evening, which I think is something we can all appreciate on a Sunday, right?
