Hina Aoyama is an amazing paper designer! She is a Japanese paper designer living in France.  I found her site and I was so amazed by the detail in her designs!  I can’t even imagine how she would even start a piece like this! Absolutely beautiful!  She also has her work on Flickr.

This Santa Monica based shop is so fun! They carry everything for babies and kids, from furniture to clothing and jewelry!  I love the layout of the shop and the wall decals really add so much personality to the space! I can’t wait to visit when I go to LA!

I know it’s dorky but I went to Wondercon.  :)  But…. I went because I wanted to see some cool illustrators like Enrico Casarosa and Bill Presing and some cute stuff like Conduct Happiness and I Heart Guts!   I thought I would buy a gallbladder for my dad from I heart Guts since he had his removed last year.

wooden toys

Japan always has the coolest designs, and when I found these toys from Take-g, I wished I lived in Japan…or at least visit again!  I took a wood shop class in college and remember how hard it was just to make a penguin comb! These toys have amazing details and craftsmanship, check them out!  And they are safe for children and environmentally friendly!

Andrew Bannecker is a cool designer of illustrated prints.  I like his designs and the print quality makes it feel a little vintage-y on some pieces.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Jason Munn has always done really cool designed posters.  I first noticed his work at a local craft fair that we were in together for ReadyMade Magazine’s holiday party a few years back.  He has such a cool aesthetic and everything he does is so nice to look at!  I can’t wait to purchase one for myself!
