Emily Ryan ~ Sculptural Softness

I can’t say enough about this Northwest designer from Portland, Emily Ryan.  I absolutely love her sculptural pieces made of soft comfortable fabrics, such as organic cotton.  Her designs are so defined and detailed, yet so wearable for everyday. Each piece is custom ordered and made by Emily in house. Check out her amazing work here.

Hand Over Fist ~ Obama Bandanas

When I saw these Obama Bandanas from Hand Over Fist on Design*Sponge the other day I had to have one. But-I had to make it into a pillow of course! Some chocolate brown thread and white fabric and Voila, a memorable pillow. Get you Obama Bandana here for only $8.00.

SusyJack* ~ Contemporary Desk Goodies

I came across these perfect paper products today, Susy Jack has created these lovely clips to keep all your papers in tack and other colorful desk accessories to cheer up a boring desk.  Everything is eco-friendly (made of 100% recycled paper) and handmade in the US.  Cute, Eco-Friendly and Handmade, what more could you ask for?

Stylin’ Pet Beds ~ Hepper Home

Hepper Home from Vermont has created the worlds coolest pet bed. They knew that there was a better way to live among pet accessories without looking like a crazy cat lady and still keep small critters cozy. I love the Podium bed, it is lined with cozy cotton sherpa and can hold up to 50 pounds of cuteness. Available at Supermarket.

Alicia Bock ~ Stunning Photography

I love the soft feel of Alicia Bock’s photography.  She uses vintage cameras for some of her shots that creates a vintage look, almost as if the photos were taken 20 years ago.  She also has a special talent for color, I love the soft blues in her ocean and sky shots.  Each print is available in different sizes or in note cards.  Check out her amazing work here.

Jennifier Renninger ~ Classic Illustrations

I love these illustrations by Jennifer Renninger.  Especially the ‘08 take on the British poster “Keep Calm & Carry On” to a more eco-version “Keep Calm & Ride On”.   Jennifer also made a vow to make a new illustration each day of the entire year, the “Everyday Image” series. The Paris print is part of that series, you can see her progress it here.

Alexander Girard ~ EcoFriendly PlyPrints

I love these plyprints from the legendary Alexander Girard at Velocity. They are screenprinted on plywood that doesn’t get used because of it’s imperfections. The wood is unprocessed and formaldehyde-free so it is safe for the home. I love the Facade print, perfect for a small wall or shelf!
