Are you guys familiar with Yarn Bombing?

Since watching Wes Anderson’s new movie Moonrise Kingdom, I’ve been quite smitten with the idea of tents. Not your icky Made-in-China-Canadian-Tire-sleeps-ten style tents mind you. But cute (thought admittedly impractical if it rains) back yard style DIY blanket fort tents.
Upon doing some research, I realized that Troop 55’s tents in Moonrise Kingdom weren’t [...]

Among the slew of talented illustrators is Naho Ogawa. A graduate from NY’s Parson’s School Of Design, Naho and her husband resides in Tokyo where she illustrates for a slew of [...]

As I sat here by the computer yesterday, shivering with two pairs of socks on, three layers of sweaters, scarf and desperately clutching my hot cuppa tea, I began daydreaming of warmer days. My search for summer inspiration led me to a Danish company called Rice.
Rice home decor and accessories are bright, cheerful [...]

I came across this amazing photojournalism blog today called Fading Ad. Fading Ad features some beautiful photos of washed out vintage mural ads around the country taken by artist/teacher Frank H. Jump.
I always find myself taking notice of old brick warehouses and factories, washed out candy coloured ads and retro store signs when [...]
