Books

It has been awhile since I have purchased books, but these are 3 books I want or have bought over the past few months.  Such great inspiration from Design to Personal Collections to lovely Illustrations and Children Stories.


Design Sponge at Home by Grace Bonney // The Selby in In Your Place by Todd Selby // Wildwood Chronicles by Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis

Love this...P.S.- I Made This

Erica Domesek makes such fun and sassy accessories on P.S. - I Made This! Above is her inspiration collage and diagram for a cute gold clutch, and here is the video for making it, I think I might try it! You can also buy her book for more fun ideas.

A Collection a Day

After following Lisa Congdon's 2010 Collection a Day project, you can now purchase this lovely book that showcases all her discoveries. This copy is signed by Lisa, is over 400 pages in length, and comes in a reusable collectors tin. Such a cool idea!

50 AND 50

Just discovered this Collection where Fifty Designers were asked to create an illustration of their state's motto. The illustration above is for Idaho...created by Eric Smith who is a freelance designer and illustrator. Eric also curated the Live Now Project, a book that features artists work from all around the world.
