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!

Chen Chen coasters
Aren’t these coasters from Brooklyn-based product designer Chen Chen rad? I like the colours, but would you buy them?

Colourful Warsaw - 1959
There’s an absolutley lovely slice-of-life slideshow of post-war Warsaw, Poland over here. I don’t know what’s better, the outfits or the the 120 film quality. (Note: the site is in Polish, but Google Translate works wonders!)

Olaf Hayek
I was flipping through Julia Rothman’s lovely Book By Its Cover blog late last night and came across some work that looked familiar - turns out, years ago, I clipped one of Olaf Hayek’s magical illustrations out of the New York Times and framed it, and it’s been hanging above my desk ever since. It’s been a real treat to look at his other work.
