I spotted this amazing cup over on The Bright Side Project. Isn't it fabulous?! It would certainly add the right amount of glitz and glamour to my desk!

I know more than a few people who would love Alicia Bock's new 2010 calendar. Each image literally transports me. I'm thinking of doing a series in my kitchen.

One of my favorite bloggers, Alyson of Unruly Things, is having the first ever online sale of her new letterpressed line, Postal Press. I was lucky enough to snag a two pack of the awesome hello greeting card and the cheerful wheat design stationary {pictured below}.

The Summer Social has tons of great artwork, jewelry, textiles and paper goods from several talented ladies so act fast as quantities are limited!

Perhaps my favorite photographer and designer, not to mention blogger and soon to be letterpresser, is sharing a few of her photos with us to use as desktop backgrounds! I've already saved one to my computer at work and I'm definitely adding one to my computer at home. Thanks Alyson!

I cannot get over the wondrous beauty of Gabriella Fiabane's work. In fact, I recently purchased the last one... it reminds me of the farmland around my in laws home.

You can shop a limited number of acrylics and watercolors on her website or an extensive number of watercolors through her two Etsy stores. Watercolors here. Acrylics here.

Ez and Holly have a brand new lineup of summer inspired giveaways over at Kindred! Two of my favorite photographers, Alicia Bock and Traci French, have designed computer wallpapers that I've already downloaded- one for home, one for work. And, there are also beautiful printable note cards. Thanks ladies!

The fifth installment of Print + Press has been released. I love how they evoke summery feelings and especially adore the print with flowers wrapped in newspaper.

Chelsea posted about this artist a few days ago and I cannot stop going back and looking at her work. I especially love these fruit and vegetable paintings.

Lately I've been wanting some vases that aren't clear. I change the water often, but when flowers get to the end of their life, sometimes the bloom still looks beautiful but the stem is gross. Inevitably, within an hour, this makes cloudy water with little green things floating around.

So on my hunt I restumbled upon these artist. I know I've see her work featured on blogs before and I even featured some of it, but this time around I found her porcelain milk bottles which are hand cast from antique glass pint milk glass bottles. Aren't they perfect?!

I love the work of Dave Chihuly. It's so striking and instantly recognizable. I've admired it at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and also the Smithsonian American Art Museum but now through May 31 it's at the Desert Botanical Garden. I so wish I could attend. I have a special place in my heart for the garden because it's where Stephen and I got married. It truly is a gem in the desert. If you are in the area or going to be in Arizona I definitely suggest you check it out! I promise you won't be disappointed.

It's that time again! Ez and Holly have a brand new line-up of spring themed wallpapers over at Kindred. And, to top it off they're also offering two free downloadable goodies here and here. Perfect timing too, I was just getting tired of my current wallpaper at work and home!

Earlier in the week I blogged about this great collaboration and today I received notification they released the third installment in celebration of spring. I really love the soft muted tones of the photograph and print. They're very soothing.

I know I'm pretty late in the game, but I just restumbled upon this collaboration and wanted to share it to the readers out there who aren't familiar. Print + Press is a meeting of two friends, one a printer and one a photographer, who each month produce one photograph and one art print and sell them together in limited edition for $20. The top image is month one and the bottom image is month two. Aren't they so pretty?!

I loved Joanna's engagement photos and absolutely adore her Save the Date. It makes me want to get some casual pictures taken of the two of us.

I love this berry bowl. It reminds me of one my mom purchased from a different artist years ago only hers is a bright cheerful yellow.

This Paris Vogue cover with Sofia Coppola is stunning. I think she is so striking.

Over Christmas I spent some time admiring my grandmother's collection of family silver so it's of no surprise to me that I'm completely obsessed with this collection of work.

Did you hear the biggest news in the art world today? Apparently Polaroid has been saved! An Austrian artist and businessman has purchased Polaroid for the sake of art and to "fight against the idea that everything has to die when it doesn't create turnover." New film should be available by December, just in time for when original supplies were anticipated to run out!

This artist has made the rounds on blogs before but I don't think I've ever shared my love for her animal prints. When I have a nursery, I'm putting at least one of these up.

This website is cool. It's dedicated to defining words through photographic images. Words and photography- really nothing could be better paired for me than these two.
