I found two new loves today. This wonderful, wonderful woman at the post office gave me her extra copy of Blueprint magazine, which subsequently led me to freddy&ma. Another design magazine subscription — just what I need.

Thinking about buying a new Mac? Check Mactactic first to see if you should snatch one up or hold out a bit longer.

A company after my own heart! Wide varieties of grid papers in all shapes and sizes. I’d like to see the integration of some traditional graph areas, but these are fantastic.

I actually found these art prints sometime ago but failed to post anything about it. My current favorite.

This tee made my entire day. Also highly recommended: “How to Be: A Through Z”.

Ah, some new highly-recommended design books for my wishlist.

You know it’s gotta be tantalizing if I join the mailing list: Five Simple Steps: Designing for the Web by Mark Boulton, coming in January.

After using both Wists and Kaboodle for a few days, I’ve settled on a favorite. The deal breaker: Wists times out when adding an image for items from Crate & Barrel. I reported it to their support staff and they said that they’ll be working on it, but I’m impatient.

More patterned goods than you know what to do with or have money to buy.

Without a doubt, one of the best clothing and stationery concepts I’ve ever seen. I’d like one of each, please.

Exponentially easier than the project, trace and paint on the wall method that I’ve always used.

If I could get nominated for TLC’s “What Not to Wear”, I would spend my entire $5,000 in this store.

The two pieces of their jewelry that I own are quite possibly the most beautiful pieces I’ve never had.

If I made jewelry, this is what I would (aspire to) make.

The creme de la creme of iPod cases and wallets. (I have a nano case from them, and it is absolutely fantastic.)
