I guess I need to upgrade from a Shuffle to a real iPod if I want to buy this and have it work, but I would also need to find an extra $350. So I guess I'll just look for now - or add it to my pretend Christmas list. Any one else have an extravegant gift they would like to receive this season? It's always fun to wish for something you know you would never get, right? Wait, is it even November yet? If Bath and Body Works is playing holiday music, you know it's time for present buying.

Bo Notes

My friend SaraBo has one of the cutest apartments in Des Moines, and she has recently created a series of postcards for guests to send while visiting, or after having been to a dinner party that she and her roommate Jenny have hosted. This was a DIY project that I witnessed while spending a cloudy afternoon last week hanging out with Bo. We had hazelnut hot chocolate, and I did some online updating, emailing, and such... while Bo became completely engrossed in this project.

Each postcard has it's own unique caption on the back, too.

On the couch postcard: Without the modern amenity of television, guests enjoy fine conversation and views from 21 windows in this craftsman style duplex in the heart of Des Moines.

And on the suitcase postcard: A craftsman style duplex in the heart of Des Moines becomes a stopping point for many cross-country journeys and Iowa vacations.

Inspiring.

07 Calendar time

As soon as I get a job, I'll be purchasing a replacement for my rockin' Pentagram Design Typographical Calendar.

Sidebar Update

I just updated the sidebar with almost all of the links to sites we have posted about. Can you say, "Bored at work??"

"Kate has created a new product - BoxArt which mixes her strong simple outline illustrations with seventy’s retro textiles and 5o’s chic florals to create fun and quirky box frame canvas prints.

The canvas is stretched on a 14 inch (35mm) deep wooden frame which can be mounted on a wall with ease or can simply stand on a shelf."

Simple and perfect for a little one's room. Love the sweet color palette she uses.
