Also check out the Alder posting on Remodelista today, (yeah Carla!) and my logo is nicely displayed!!


genius

The simple most obvious solutions always get me. I found this comb package in a vending machine in a hotel lobby. I stared at it for a few moments, in all the color and noise of the objects being sold the simple comb really stood out, I had to have it to add to my collection of things!

The drawing is an exact replica of what is inside, genius!


swirl on

I ordered a few things from Daily Candy’s Swirl sales and kept the awesome package, it was really a sweet surprise.

I’m really glad I kept these things as research! I’m doing some research for a new retail package project; all these details keep my mind spinning. I love the tissue paper alone.

The other smart thing about this package was the brochure / packet that your receipt and return information came in. The packaging was very simple but so many details made it feel like a well branded experience.


sock dog love +++

My mom is an outstanding seamstress. She custom made all of our bridesmaid dresses, thanks mom!! She went through a sock dog phase a few years ago and hand made stuffed dogs out of single pairs of socks. This little guy lives in my car and keeps me company on all my trips. Soon my sock dog will find company in a little car seat next to him, stay posted!


made the 50!

In the fall we were ecstatic to be featured in Martha Stewart Weddings for the “Just my type” feature. The minimal style we created in collaboration with the magazine is now a part of the 50 Great Wedding Invitations, we are so proud!!
