Fun Kitchen Towels ~ Artgoodies

100% cotton dish towels over wasteful paper towels…any day!!  These lovely kitchen towels by ARTGOODIES are hand printed with one of the artist’s original linocut block prints and custom mixed inks.  I think these designs are so perfect for the kitchen and for $15, make a great gift too! At Elsewares.

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.

Melissa Borrell ~ Fantasy Shade

This is such a gorgeous idea for a window with a not so pleasant view. Melissa Borrell Design has created these 36″ x 60″ window shades to create a fantasy world outside your window. They keep the harmful UV rays out while still letting in light. She also does custom orders for any size windows. Thanks for creating a beautiful alternative to the standard plastic pulldown!

Chambar ~ Vancouver BC

This past weekend we went to an amazing restaurant in Vancouver, Chambar {pronounced sham-bar}. Not only was the decor the perfect setting for modern Belgian cuisine, but the food was a.m.a.z.i.n.g.! How could I deny these creative cocktails and deserts, such a treat and the best meal I’ve had in a long time. The warm lighting and unique art makes this a must go to for anyone visiting the Vancouver area. My favorite was the simple art that reads “Please take only what you need”, which is a true testimony to my green ways.
