Holy moly. I just came across a set of 163 flickr photos of vintage beer cans - look at those flourishes and scrollwork! Now why can’t more drink packaging look like that nowadays? Via The Dieline.

Have you seen the super lovely work of Edmonton-based Jeanie Andronyk? In addition to her hand-carved stamps (I must admit I’ve got a few myself), lightning-fast selling homemade deodorant (I still haven’t managed to get my hands on any!) she also makes amazing jewelry cast out of vintage buttons. Droooool. You can usually find her things at the Royal Bison craft fairs and on Etsy. Peek! Now!

Some lovely, unapologetically frilly (and rightly so!) work from Jacqueline Kari Bos. Look at those incredibly nuanced colours, and won’t somebody think of the igloos. This makes me want to dig out my pencil crayons!

Boy am I glad I stumbled across typographer and illustrator Guilia Santo Padre‘s work. I appreciate her combination of modern typography and old world paper cutting techniques, and how there’s not even a hint of the “log cabin style” as a result. Don’t forget to take a peek at her Dish font while you’re there.
