{wedding sweets}
Just a glimpse of my design fingerprint at my cousin’s wedding this past weekend. I love that she took my suggestion of mini-macaroons to match with the colourful confetti. Delicious. Here is what the invite looked like:

{ARTIST SHOWCASE: shadow art}
I saw this on The Gladstone Hotel’s facebook feed today and had to take a closer look. It’s amazing! Remember back in school when people still used projectors and everyone would have some shadow animal fun? Ok, so think that but 100x cooler and more complex. These pieces by Tim Noble & Sue Webster are…

{say cheese}
It’s so funny how it seems that we’re actually traveling back in time. Who would’ve thought that I would be dying to get my hands on this new Polaroid Instant Digital Camera. I love my ol’ school Polaroid but this is pretty cool. It’s basically a super mini printer and camera in one. Welcome to…

{graphic design: wine art}
Maybe you’re not suppose to judge a book (or a possible online date prospect) by their cover but I’ll admit, I judge wine by it’s label. I’ve been on a bunch of wine tours and although they’re very interesting at the time, I forget everything when I’m walking down the wine aisle. What I look…

{thrifting 101: this week’s finds}

{ARTIST SHOWCASE: pretty mess}
Holy cow do I ever love these painting by Michael Cina that I saw on Design Sponge this morning. I know, I know, some of you are like “it’s just a bunch of paint blobs” and I guess in a literal sense you’re right. But there’s something about these paint blobs that get a reaction…
