• 18 Cool Inventions From the Past has some really neat photos. I love the early GPS.

• The color so composition of these photographs by Matthias Heidrich are beautiful.

• Even though I am terrified of them, I do enjoy the zombify blog for all things zombie related.

• I love book covers & there are 45 gorgeous ones here.

These “lawn chairs” get the job done. Designed by artist Lisette Spee in collaboration with architect Tim Van Den Burg, the playful seats are part of a series of lounge chairs created for public spaces in Valkenberg Park in Breda, Netherlands.

Gemma Correll creates some of the cutest illustrations, but I am especially into these letters. They are too much! The cuteness and colors are so good. You definitely need to take a look at her Flickr stream. In addition to a portfolio of her work, she also gives a tour of her studio space & it’s always fun to see another creative person’s work space.

You can view her adorable etsy shop here & her official website.

There are quite a few large photos in here, so be prepared!

I don’t necessarily like this room, but I am in love with that couch!

Perfect lil’ cubby for storage. I really like having all my cute kitchen stuff out for everyone to see.

I love the bright candlesticks hanging out on that table.

And every photo in this Flickr set.

From his portfolio:

Background:
Generally, when someone leaves my studio, has their birthday, has a baby, etc I “have” to do something for them… Sometimes it’s a t-shirt, sometimes a mixed-CD, sometimes just a card… As much as I’m not crazy about the obligation, I always end up doing something that I enjoy and that ultimately the recipient can enjoy…

Result:
This package, including 2 DVD’s and a card/poster, was for an account intern that was a lot of fun and a lot of laughs.. She enjoyed the same old/new British comedy series’ that I do, so I thought I’d make a couple of DVD’s with them on it…

I am LOVING this. Gorgeous!

I’m always saving photos I find inspirational to this folder on my desktop. I was looking through it today and decided to create a post with some of my favorites. There are tons of photos here & you can click on them to go to the source. If you can’t click it means I don’t remember where I got it from, but if you know where it is from please tell me and I will credit the photo.

Liza – I’m in love. How incredibly beautiful is this one?! Geez, I love the p’s & f’s especially. This slideshow from Veer shows off how wonderful this typeface really is.

Narziss – Mmm, those sweet, sweet curves.

Memoriam – My absolute favorite of the bunch. I’m starting to see this typeface everywhere from my favorite magazine Bust to The New York Times and I love it! I just find this one so gorgeous & it’s a great price.

1. Lights wrapped around tree trunks. Gosh, I find this so beautiful. There’s nothing I love more than seeing trees all lit up downtown.

2. Soy Hot Chocolate. Yum! I love making hot chocolates & drinking them while I’m working on projects.

3. Wrapping Gifts. From picking out the perfect paper & ribbon to trying to make the paper fold perfectly, I love wrapping gifts. I really do a horrible job at it and my Mom will always jerk the present out of my hands to fix it while shaking her head. She secretly loves doing that and I love when she does it!

4. The Twisted Sister Christmas Album. Okay, I know what you’re thinking and I never thought this would be a holiday tradition of mine. Let me explain. One year during the holidays, Greg started playing this on repeat whenever we were in the car to annoy me (it worked) and he did the same the next year and so on. The tradition stuck and I act annoyed when he puts it on but it always makes me laugh.

5. Ornaments. I could hang out in the ornament aisle at Target all day. Bright, sparkly ornaments make me incredibly happy. It took me forever to choose the right ones for the tree this year because as I grabbed one colorful ornament, I’d see another I liked out of the corner of my eye.

What are your holiday favorites? Do you have any funny traditions?

I’m sure this was done at Yee Haw Industries which is an awesome letterpress shop here in Knoxville. I haven’t verified it’s from there for sure, but judging by the quality of this card I’m sure it was.

And yeah, the card is hanging out on my Christmas tree for the photo. And no, I’m not one of those people who put it up super early… I just never took it down from last year.

I have grabbed these from various photographers. Just click on them to go to the source.
