Have you seen the new Sleepyhead pillows by Christopher David Ryan yet? Sleepyheads are the creation of graphic artist Christopher David Ryan. No stranger to daydreaming himself, Christopher began to find inspiration in the very act of doing so. He began to take notice of the daydreamers that surrounded him on a daily basis... on the train, in cafes and on the sidewalks.
The result, a book, pillows, and beautiful prints and all available right here.
Jesse I just wanted to let you know how happy I'm with the beautiful block printed cotton tape you have sent to me...it's even more pretty in real, I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with...(open for suggestions though...)but for now it lays next to my computer and I'm enjoying the view! Thanks!
Janet and Stu from ThreePotatoFour always exactly know how to choose the best vintage tableware! Who is going to be the lucky owner of one of these?? They are certainly on my wishlist...and available right here and here.

These are the words from a true artist...'I'm on a mission to make beautiful things :: I am inspired by raw materials and quiet, thoughtful design'...and these words are from Debi van Zyl from Los Angeles. I visited her etsy shop today and was very impressed with this beautiful mobile, and her cards, gift tags and soft toys are very nice too!
Congratulations to Jessica Jones from HowAboutOrange on her first-ever collection of fabric designs!

Last month Julia Atkinson from New Zealand started her new design blog and I was very happy seeing so many new designs from downunder! The whole idea of Julia's new blog is o share and help
get word out of all the wicked,creative talent that she keeps stumbling
across in Australasia! And of course I love to encourage that and I wish Julia and Studio Home Creative lot's of luck and please keep sending the emerging talents from Downunder!
