Spent some of Sunday afternoon at the library in search of illustrative inspiration. I got stuck in the folklore section and fell in love with all these old books. I would love to have a collection of these on my shelf. The colors and typefaces are just so lovely! I checked out Forgotton Folk-Tales of the English Countries and A Dictionary of Fabulous Beasts.

I’m loving Kathryn Blackmore’s fashion illustration and jewelry designs. Her portfolio is a real treat! I’m especially digging the jewelry piece shown on the blue dress. How cool.

Here is a real WIN WIN situation! Booooooom is having an art fundraiser! All of the artwork displayed there is listed with the agreement that the artists will donate all of the proceeds from each sale to Haiti. Get super cool art + help Haiti = (: I posted these particular pieces because I thought they would both make great Valentines Day gifties. Triple WIN.

In other news, I ordered one of these babies this morning! It’s an Astro Star laser projection lamp! How cool? I’m a little worried about the assemble it yourself part, but hey, it only cost me $6 so I guess that’s fair. I can’t wait for it to come in the mail so I can play with it!
