The Cartolina iPhone app - almost a year old!


The Cartolina iPhone app is almost a year old - I can hardly believe it! I think we'll have a little celebration - maybe a fun giveaway!.
The Cartolina iPhone app is available right here.

Doing your own thing.

I was talking to Doug last night about how seldom I see really unique and original art these days. There's so much similar stuff out there - which I don't understand (what's the point of making art that looks like someone else's art?) Then we got talking about Dolan Geiman and how unique his work is. Recently he's been recognized for his talent by some big names like Fossil and he deserves it. I love seeing his newest work and the long panel below just blew me away yesterday when I saw it. He's a super talent - someone who just does his own thing and doesn't worry about everyone else - and that's what it's all about - do your own thing!

This is an old Russian chocolate box that I found in an old Russian junk store - not in Russia just owned by an old Russian. I quite like it.




I like how simple the graphics are on these pillows. Yes it's true - I do occasionally like simple graphics! How about you?



How could I resist these - very pretty, handmade party blowers from Martha Stewart. These are so cute! I spotted these on Pinterest right here.


Very pretty - the Mandala Rug from Urban Outfitters. This would brighten up any decor!




Some really fun new things from Plumo. Every season they show up with the prettiest treasures from far off places. You can see the other things I've featured in the past from Plumo right here.

Love this guy's work. Jon Contino - he makes it look so easy! Hand lettered with an authentic, block printed vibe - luv!





Ephemera

Don't you love these? - little book seller's labels. From here.




A couple of lighting choices that I REALLY like - from Villa d'Esta. This floor lamp is fabulous, don't you think? I would truly love to have it in our living room.
