I don’t know about you, but hours of entertainment can be found in the “missed connections” section of Craigslist. Sophie Blackall, illustrator residing in Brooklyn, NY saw them as a never ending source of material. Brilliant.
Check out her blog with the illustrations, her etsy shop to purchase, and her website to see her other work. Happy hunting!

On February 25th, Typodarium opened its 2011 Call for Entries. 160 font-labels and designers signed in and filled up all 365 days in 42 hours! You can still sign in here for a waiting list as some of the contributions may be rejected.
In case you missed it, here’s our post from this year’s Typodarium calendar.
I currently have the 2010 version on my desk, and love it! My favorite so far has been Surface Medium, the font for Tuesday, February 2nd. Why? Because the description on the back simply says “Carly Gilligan. Would you marry me?”
Purchase your 2011 Typodarium calendar here.

Beautiful and funny? Now that’s my kind of Valentine.
I’m usually a hopeless romantic, but put some humor in, and it always gets to the core of me. An automatic win. Check out more of Owly Shadow Puppets’ awesome laser cut valentines here.

While searching for something to brighten up my Friday during an oh-so-stressful week of work, I came across this beauty from Bella Figura.
Ummm…hello, you gorgeous thing, you.
Hold on a tic while I wipe the drool off my keyboard, and lift my jaw back to its normal position… No words, I just want to touch. Slowly drag my finger across the page, enjoy, then maybe repeat a few times. The calligraphy, the paper, and did you see that rsvp card?! I’m a huge sucker for anything in the card/invite/stationary/general make-your-day-with-this-simple-little-thing arena (as you’ll come to see) – but letterpress work? It makes me swoon. Every. Single. Time. This rendered me speechless. Anyone that knows me knows that is quite a feat.
So, hat’s off to you, Bella Figura, for taking away any words I could use to describe your work.
Check out their printing and general loveliness at www.bellafigura.com. Prepare for lovely. Make sure to check out the whole site – from the designers they hand-picked to do custom designs, their absolute, die-hard love of the craft, to their willingness to bend over backwards to give you just what you want.
By the way, I’m new here — I’m Gwen, and I hope you enjoy this and future beauties I plan to bring your way :)
