TOOLS of the TRADE:technology

Sprint has just released a new ad called “What’s Happening”, during which an announcer spouts off a number of totally made-up statistics describing how people are using the Sprint network.


Even though the statistics are made up I still LOVE it!

TOOLS of the TRADE:paper

Super cute yummy paper goodness from Three Potato Four.

Each pack is filled with a combination of numbers, type, pattern, graphics and color through an assortment of maps, tickets, stamps, cards, labels, signs, stencils and and all things old school.

TOOLS of the TRADE: color

Pantone Selects Color of the Year: 

PANTONE 14-0848 Mimosa

Mimosa, a warm, engaging yellow, as the color of the year for 2009. In a time of economic uncertainty and political change, optimism is paramount and no other color expresses hope and reassurance more than yellow.

"Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation," explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®.

TOOLS of the TRADE:Orla Kiely

I know I'm SUPER late with this, but I just had to share the Orla Kiely collection at Target. I just LOVE IT! A perfect spring item to spruce up things.


Kitchen items are still available online. I saw some home office items when I was in Target, but for some reason I can't find them online.
