In Good Company: SusyJack*

Most of you are probably familiar with the beautiful paper and home goods line SusyJack* (from etsy and the many lovely blogs who have featured her work in the past)... but now Susan has announced the opening of the official SusyJack* site! 

I hope you'll take a moment to stop by and check out her beautiful products... and remember the holidays are just around the bend, and there's sure to be something at SusyJack* for at least one lucky someone on your list.  So get shoppin'!

Congrats Susan and my best wishes to you with your lovely new venture! xo Ez

Inspired Artist: Michael Sowa

If you've seen the film Amelie even once (or 20+ times like me), then you probably noticed the unique artwork hanging above Amelie's bed.  There's something so captivating about it!

I did a little search and found out that the work was created by Michael Sowa a German artist who was born in 1945 (read more here on the Design Scene blog).  Several of his prints are available online, but sadly I could find no official site for this incredible artist... so for now, these images are all I have to share with you.  Don't you think they are lovely?!

Search for Micheal Sowa prints and postcards at:

Art.com, PosterShop (for those in the UK), AllPosters.com, and postcards at Gorey Details.

Festive...

I just stumbled across this Tinsel Tape from ATYPYK and think it's brilliant!
Now all those plain brown packages you'll be sending full of gifts can look just as great on the outside as they do on the inside!  Or... use this in place of ribbon and bows on your wrapped gifts this upcoming holiday season... simple and festive!
