Vintage postage stamps
Hey, there’s a lovely vintage postage stamp tumblr out there! Eye candy galore!
ps: oh yes, I know posts have slowed to a crawl. I was busy getting married to my ever-so-wonderful husband Jim this summer…and do I ever have pics to share with you so very soon! :)

Katie Daisy
Katie Daisy’s sugar-sweet illustration, lettering and pattern work caught my eye recently - she’s great with colour and whimsical with her drawings. Neat-o, bravo.

Wrap magazine
Have you heard of London-based Wrap magazine? It’s brilliant - use and reuse in one design and illustration magazine package! You get a gorgeous large format magazine in the mail, and once you’re done looking at all the tasties inside, you get to rip it up and use it as wrapping paper. Or just frame it, or wallpaper your wall with it. Or whatever floats your boat. As if that’s not enough, the rest of the pages double as postcards. Oh, and they’ve got a submission deadline for their next issue for August 31st. I’m sharpening my pencil!

Vintage Russian children’s books
I stumbled across this amazing collection of vintage Russian children’s books today (the blog is in Russian, but Google Chrome does wonders in the translation department). There’s something about the loose brushwork and colour palette that is so fresh and colourful and young without being overproduced. Hearts!
