I discoverd Essimar via Loveology and can’t stop surfing her blog. Her work, the colours,…especially for a paper-lover like me it’s addictive! What she makes is pure eye candy; the postcards, the installations, the animals, the paper jewellery.

Esther Ramirez is the artist behind Essimar based in Chicago. She sells her work on Etsy! And I also got inspired by her original gift wrapping ideas.

Lately I came across this website Tiny Red by Tereza Row. The illustrations and graphics are lovely! The illustration below is the header from her blog. It got me inspired to rethink my own header. Almost a year now and I am getting a bit fed up with it. What do you think?

These pretty papercuts are from Peter Callesen. The patience and steady hand you need to make this is just amazing! Much more to see at his site!

Today we crossed the border from Vietnam to Cambodia! Between all the enjoyment of traveling  I found time to write some letters to loved ones at home! It so much nicer then only by e-mail!

The ‘Q-tip’  in the picture is a special Vietnamese one made from little chicks  feathers. So soft and so much nicer to look at then to put in your ear!

Loving all things paper I fell in love with Mieke Willems; their blog, their shop, it does not matter it is al equally cute and fun! Eventhough their shop is pretty close, in Antwerp, I did not get the chance to visit them.

Luckily they have a webshop and I already made a little wishlist bellow! Cute basket, warm winter socks, bright pink agenda (comes in handy in the new year), a do it yourself calendar, fun tape, a travel journal (a bit too late), an cosy cushion.

Today I will go to London with four of my best friends! Yeah!! I have been in London ages ago and can’t remember a thing but everybody says it is a great city! We have rented an appartment and ofcourse we will go shopping and have lots of cups of tea and most certainly go dancing! Hope to make some lovely photos!

This London papercut map made by Famille Summerbelle is great. Famille Summerbelle is a blog, shop with mainly papercuts for decorating childrens rooms. I love these maps! They also have Paris and soon a New York papercut map.

* Have a nice weekend! I am sure I will! *

A long time ago I fell in love with this poster ‘For like ever’. I saw it on the cover of a magazine I bought in Canada; Domino Magazine. Not thinking I was able to buy it. A few months later I was sitting in the train to Amsterdam when I spotted this guy wearing a t-shirt with the same text! After some internet searching I found it at a Brooklyn NY based graphic design office ‘Village‘. They doubled the price but it is still available here.

I am always drawn to pure eye candy and that is what this is! This poster made by Swedish graphic designer and illustrator Sandra Juto is great and I love the colours. Unfortunately I missed out on this one. It was sold out by the time I discovered it! See much more eye candy in her portfolio and amazing photos on her blog.
