A new fleet wish-boats

My dear friend Jurianne Matter re-invented her first and very succesfull product, the paper wish-boats by giving them a gorgeous new pattern and color palette. 

The little paper boats are designed to sail out to celebrate weddings, newborn babies, birthdays, anniversaries or sometimes even as treasure ships (with money or candies). With a bit of inventiveness you can also make a unique paper chain or a mobile for a child’s room! 

Before you start folding, you can write a personal wish or message along the railing. The folding takes only a few minutes per boat.   [MORE IMAGES]

One of Heather aka skinny laminx etsy favorite shops is  Cotton&Flax ... a new to me shop with a collection fabrics and papers that I enjoyed. I always visit a seller's blog if there is any and this time I was hapily surprised when finding these gorgeous free iphone wallpapers ... not sure which one I like best, but I guess I am going to download 'december' :)                [CONTINUE READING]

Calendar round-up 2013

{tea towel calendar from foglinen, image by Bloesem}

Hello everyone! Every new year I feel brings a fresh start. Why is that? I want to have new stationary, new clothes and a new set of mind to do things better than 2012. Let's start with new calendars. Believe me, you need the perfect one to look at everyday for a year. These are some of our favorites here at Bloesem. A clean simple one for my wall with lots of space for me to doodle on would be my choice. After the year ends, you can look back at all the things you've done for the year.

The many different ways to illustrate a moustache by Blush Face. I find this simple and funny and would definitely make a great gift for the moustache in the family.

Kissanpäivät's simple illustrated 2013 calendar. What I love about this one are the colors. Blue, teal and turquoise have always been my favorites.

On to the next page for more of Bloesem's pick for 2013. 

          

Darling Clementine's 2013 Scandinavian inspired Calendar. Bold colors of floral illustrations and the best part printed on recycled paper too.

What does your horoscope says about you. Keep track with the stars with this Astrology wall calendar by Prismatic Print Shop.

Re-use and wash. What a unique idea for a calendar. Kauniste's 2013 Kitchen Towel calendar. Have them in color or black and white.

Dozi paper wall calendar. Simple designs that would go so well with the theme of our office actually.

For all you typography lovers, here's 365 of them for the year. Typodarium 2013 by Slanted. 

Another illustrated calendar we love to add to the collection by Bambula. And there's space for you to doodle on too.

Weekly reminders before you're out the door. Definitely handy for the whole family to take part in. Chalkboard Calendar by Mixed Mangos.

Wood Stump Calendar by Anthropologie, use them as paper weights at your workspace. A cute little addition for the table.

This home calendar by Paper Sheep takes you around the world of 6 different apartments. A great story behind the artist's travels. I love the San Francisco one.

We love paper especially when they are letterpressed by Paper Boat Studios. I wouldn't want to write on these because they are too clean and pretty dont you think?

This is something you could plan out for next year as well. Gather all your pictures to make a calendar. We love the polaroid look in this one. Poladarium 2013.

This ends our 2013 round-up, and we hope you found your special calendar for 2013! What's your pick, do share.

NEW: Unstationary by ontwerpduo

Papers, soft colors and simple designs, what's not to love everything about Unstationary by Ontwerpduo. Starting our own stationary line has always been in the works here at Bloesem, and seeing great products like these makes us want to work on our line even more.

The first thing that comes to mind when I see grid paper is math class in high school. Countless doodles and drawings on them when I should be writing down numbers and equations. What about you? A familiar feeling and I love the simplicity of the grid design for note pads and little cards for little messages.

Check out their collection of work on their website. Take a look at the 'Light Forest' which to me is almost dream-like.   [CONTINUE READING]
