Shop of the Day: Get back to nature with these naturally inspired letterpress pieces from Small Square Design.
Here’s a little peak into the world that is the ever-talented, Sarah Watts. I found her artwork first through her blog, 14Watts, but she’s recently gotten around to getting an Etsy shop! Hooray! (I may be a little behind on the recently, but it was within the last six months or so).
Her work is so fun and colorful. Almost darkly humorous in a way. She used to do a feature on her blog about useless talents, where she took submissions from readers and then illustrated them into utmost hilarity. They are really a must-see, and also the first thing of hers that I discovered.
She also has a twitter, along with her blog and shop, and another website (called Jooperwits) where she has a daily comic. Check her out!
Hope you’re having a great week!

I cannot even begin to come up with words for how excited I am about the new version of papernstitch, which just launched TODAY, along with the newest exhibition. We have added new features, including daily favorites, which you can see above, as well as a search bar to make shopping easier, and of course the new look. What do you think? We would love to get some feedback.

Sponsored Post: All these kitchen and dining items from Nest Living are making me want to jump in the kitchen and whip something up. Unfortunately, I don’t really cook. But that doesn’t mean my kitchen can’t look put together, right?

Sometimes we all need a reminder to cut back – to really think about the things we’re buying and consider whether this one blouse or pair of sunglasses is really going to make or break our day (or maybe just the bank).
Kate Bingaman-Burt is currently hand-drawing all of her credit card statements until they’re paid off. A very effective idea for those of us who are visual learners, don’t you think?
The drawings are currently available on 20×200, and document the things that Kate bought over the course of one week, two weeks, one month and four months in the summer of 2009.
Happy shopping (or saving!),
I just did an interview and house tour for B:Kids of Fiona’s house. Fiona runs the children’s toy shop, Fede. Her place is spectacular! For the full tour and interview, visit Bloesem Kids.
