Arhaus

I got the mail yesterday and the annual sale catalog from Arhaus was there. The catalog itself was gorgeous. As a graphic designer I would love to have Arhaus as a client. ( I think I know which agency in Cleveland did this one) I've done a lot of catalog work before but none had such beautiful products. I love Arhaus.

Here are a few of my favorite things from the catalog. I've been eyeing this chandelier for a while now. If you don't get their catalog I highly recommend signing up to recieve their beautiful mail pieces. I know I don't usually post about furniture but I just had to share!

GigPosters

I have a slight obsession with the website GigPosters.com. I could spend hours looking at the all the cool designs. I'd like a whole room in my house plastered with these cool band posters. The designers that create these are extremely talented. Maybe someday when we finish the basement I will buy a few of my favorites!

my hearts design

These gift tags from the etsy shop of my hearts design are really cool. They have an old vintage feel to them.

Sub-Studio

Not only does Sub-Studio have beautiful stationery but they have very unusual eye-catching prints. These prints shown above are called visible:invisible. The prints represent creatures that are living around us that we can not see. Pretty neat. Visit the Sub-Studio etsy store for more items.

Destination: Unknown

These are really cool travel journals from a company called Destination:Unknown. You can choose from two different sizes. The pocket size is 3 5/8" x 5 1/8" and the notebook is 5" x 7".
If you're heading out for a trip before the summer ends you might want to consider picking up a journal to remember all the details.

My House

One thing I really need to do this summer is add some personal touches to the house. I'd really love some advice on what to do in the family room. The back wall behind the couch is so large and I'm not sure what to hang there. I'm also trying to find something for above the fireplace.

I was trying to find something I liked over at the decor8 rooms I *heart* flickr page. It's a great resource.

Wee Little Designs

I found a link to Wee Little Designs over on my friend's blog Eleven Months Apart. The site just launched this weekend. There are some really cute baby announcements. Very modern and very trendy. Jamie, the creator of Wee Little Designs is also doing a giveaway to promote the launch of her site. Stop by her blog and enter to win some custom invitations.

Satsuma Press

I came across Satsuma Press accidentally this morning. After looking through the products I thought this would be a good post for a Monday morning. The letterpress cards are very simple but I definitely love the style. Coming soon are limited addition stationery designs. The designs are created in collaboration with designer Lara Cameron (who I posted about last week, love her stuff!) Click here to purchase.

SusyJack

When I first saw these tags from SusyJack I thought they were door hangers. I thought to myself those would be cute hanging around the house. Then I realized they were gift tags of course. I love the colors they are just gorgeous. They would look awesome on a matching gift bag.

SusyJack's etsy shop has a lot of great paper items. Click here to view more notecard designs and journals.

I also love the bio of SusyJack. The bio mentions how SusyJack got started when it's creator was dismissed from a job. Sometimes it can be tough when you get let go from a job, other times it works out for the best. Looks like that's the case with SusyJack. Good Luck Susy, your work is great.

Dylan's Candy Bar

Some things are just to good to not post. I was in a meeting yesterday at work and we had some chocolate covered popcorn from Dylan's Candy Bar. This was the first I had heard of this super candy store owned by Dylan Lauren (the daughter of Ralph Lauren). Has anyone had the chance to visit one of these stores? It looks like a pretty cool shop! I love the tank top too, it's so cute!

PaPaYa!

I love the look of this whole website. It's fabulous. The calendar from PaPaYa (pictured above) is absolutely gorgeous. You can find anything in this shop. PaPaYa carries greeting cards, stationery sets, mini cards, calendars and much more!

Linda & Harriet has one of those invitation collections that make you want to get married all over again.... just so you can have cool invites. There are a lot of other cool products in their shop besides the invites. You can shop for tags, notecards, notepads and flats. For some more fun reading check out the Linda & Harriet blog.

A rare thing

These are recycled postcards from the etsy shop of a rare thing. They are made from magazine pages. I think I've seen them around before but came across them again today, so I thought I would share. Very cool!

Blooming Grow Cards

These little cards from uncommon goods are so cool. They are made from 100% post consumer junk mail. The cards are seeded and break down when planted and watered. What a great way to give a gift within your card.

Paper Shop ink. Notecards

One year ago today I lost one of my best friends, my grandpa. He passed away from cancer after battling the disease for over a year. Ever since that day I donate as much as I can to the cancer society. Today and for all of next week all profits made from the sale of the notecards above will be donated to the american cancer society.

Cards are 4.25 x 5.5. The notecards are blank on the inside but if you would like something custom printed on the inside just let me know. I'm more than happy to do that. The cost is $18.00 for 10 cards and envelopes. There is no shipping cost to anywhere in the USA. At this time payments can be made through paypal at candis@papershopink.com . These cards will be added the the store later on this month.

Jaime Zollars

The work of Jaime Zollars seems so magical. Her artwork tells such stories without saying any words. Above is a set of postcards available at Jaime's online shop.

Kirin Notebook by Lara Cameron

I found an awesome blog this morning. Hopefully this afternoon I will have some free time to read more on Kirin Notebook. So much cool stuff. Above are two prints available in the Kirin and Co. etsy shop. Beautiful handcrafted items. If you want to keep up on what Lara is creating join her Google Group here.

Freshlyblended Press

I've been a fan of Nicole's from Freshlyblended for a while now. I wanted to show you these cool wallpaper journals she has for sale. They are available in two sizes, 8.75 x 11.25" and a mini version at 5.75 x 8.75". Make sure to stop by her site and check out her other items too! She definitely has some very unique products.

Albertine Press

These notecards from Albertine Press are inspired by different patterns and textiles from around the world. This was my favorite collection from the website. I also really loved the coasters. I'm definitely in need for some new coasters.

Dewey Howard

This journal and note set from Dewey Howard would make a great gift (second picture). Inside the folder you get a set of notecards and a mini journal. It makes my day so much better when I come across websites that I have never seen before. The products are so colorful and fun. I also love the site design. I had to include a small image of the homepage.

OrangeBeautiful

I have three weddings coming up in the next couple weeks. Yesterday I ordered a few of these beautiful letterpress cards from OrangeBeautiful. I always struggle with finding the perfect card. I think I did a pretty good job this time. OrangeBeautiful also has a cool blog. I'm so happy to come across another great site to read! Can't wait to get the cards in the mail.

If anyone is reading posts tomorrow (7/20), I will be at Cedar Point all day so nothing new on Friday. Have a good weekend!

Fish Lips Paper Designs

Fish Lips Paper Designs' products are made from 100% Post-Consumer recycled paper. Above are two of my favorite designs from the gift wrap collection. The site looks like it is in the beginning stages. I'm guessing we'll be seeing Fish Lips around a lot more in the upcoming months.

GuitarMania 2007

This is a pretty cool event that happens every year downtown in Cleveland. It's really neat to walk around and see these huge guitars. They are amazing and so detailed. They will be auctioned off this weekend.

About: GuitarMania is a Greater Cleveland community public art project that has raised more than $1.5 million for its two benefiting charities – United Way of Greater Cleveland and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum’s education fund. The project consists of large, oversize Fender Stratocaster guitars that are creatively transformed into works of art by local artists and national celebrities and displayed on the city streets of Cleveland for residents and visitors to enjoy from June through November 2007. Corporations, organizations and individuals sponsor the guitars and select from a variety of local artists to paint, sculpt, or decorate them. Celebrity artists are also recruited to paint and decorate guitars. At the end of the display period the guitars are auctioned at a gala event at the Rock Hall, unless the corporate sponsors buy back their guitars for permanent display at their company.

Carrot & Stick Press

Love all the patterns on the Carrot & Stick Press website. There are so many to choose from. The selection is a little overwhelming. The placemats are the best products! I have a crazy thing with placemats. I love them but it's so hard to find nice looking ones sometimes. These are great!

Kirigami

Speaking of Origami, Kiragami seems pretty similar. Aren't these beautiful? I'm curious if lilzabubba sells these anywhere. I think they would look stunning in a frame.

the yumi yumi shop

I'm very excited about this post. Not only is the work from Aline
