Simple & effective packaging...

Danish company Scanwood make practical kitchen utensils but in a beautiful understated way. Their packaging reflects this and is simple but so effective.

M&S Milk...

Possibly my favorite jelly - and that is a coveted title! Packaged in this stunning box - how can a girl resist?

Stendig Love...

My Stendig 2010 Calendar arrived yesterday and I LOVE it! So excited about picking a space and getting it up on the wall!

I ordered it from sam flax ny and it cost approx 70euro.

Clean Advertising...

What a brilliant idea..Curb...the natural media company have come up with a system whereby they clean part of the footpath and create advertising by selectively removing dirt, to create a stark contrast between the dirty surface and original as-new colour of the pavement!

Milk & Honey

I passed this lovely shop front in a cab the other day, I love the name and branding...it's all so welcoming. I couldn't stop though... next time I'm in Dublin!

2010 Calendars

Aren't these great little stocking fillers, available from Sub-Studio.

Great cards...

Great new cards from Enormous Champion.

Nice Packs...

Sorry about the lack of posts this last week but my sister is getting married on Saturday, so I have been busy, busy, busy! I'm SOOO excited, I'll post the details next week!

In the mean time I love the clinical, clean feel of this packaging.

Friday inspiration...

I spotted both of these on The Dieline today, the first is a bottle of Magners Pear (Bulmers for us Irish) designed exclusively for private members club Bungalow 8.

The second is Evians latest pairing with Paul Smith.

I think both look refreshing... a night of Magners Pear, followed by lots of Evian the morning after!!! Sounds like a good friday plan!

Great Wine Tags

Aren't these just brilliant? A friend in work showed them to me today, they are available from popptags

Squirrelly Love...

I love these beautiful squirrels from Enormous Champion, and I love, love the packaging. They'd make a great engagement present!

They are available from their Etsy Shop.

Elle and Chloe

Two of my favourite American things... American Elle and Chloe Sevigny, I love the type

lovely idea

The Card Society 

In this unique card-of-the-month club members receive two individually designed, letterpress-printed cards in their postbox each month. Cards are one-of-a-kind, never to be re-printed or sold anywhere else.

I think this a beautiful idea, but pricey at 150 dollars for a yearly membership.

Gorgeous gift boxes...

I saw these on thedieline, Beautiful gift boxes for Aspen Boutique.

for you designers out there...

so funny, so true!

great invite...

I spotted this fantastic wedding invite on Design Sponge it's by Graphic Designer Matt Dorfman of Mother Board. I love the type but the story is the real star!

love this packaging...

I think these are brilliant... such gorgeous packaging... Lia however likes to go in the privacy of our back garden so they are a bit unnecessary!
