I saw a post about Heidi yesterday on design*sponge and wanted to convey how much I love her wrap collection. They make me want to give a beautifully wrapped gift every day. I believe these papers are also frame worthy since the patterns and colors stand so well on their own.

Egg Press

If my scanner would work I would have a nice image of the cute note cards Egg Press sent to me for being the 125th of 200 people to sign up for their mailing list. It really is cute. And they hand wrote on it, extremely personable. I sent them an email to say thank you and they replied the same day. Everyone should visit their web site today. And when I get married, they will do my invitations.

Blueprint, take two.

I was looking through the newest issue of Blueprint magazine today. Toward the back, there's a crowded, but beautifully typeset spread of 100 home-related websites that we should bookmark. Or so they say. I will have to check them out. I like the type in this publication. So much so that sometimes it's distracting from the article/content at hand. Somehow that seems wonderful and inappropriate all at the same time.

In other thoughts. I saw a really great menu last night at a restaurant. A new friend of mine, a college student, just learned about loupes and dots and offset printing and plates and all. I brought my loupe and we inspected the images in the menu. Our friends decided we were weird.
