August 29th, 2008 Grace’s Love List - 8/26

After one week off, the Love List is back!

• 2009 is just around the corner and that means I need to start hunting for a new calendar for my office desk. My #1 choice is this set from Night Owl Paper Goods. Beautiful illustrations on wood veneer, just what I’ve been looking for. This calendar will be a very chic addition to my work space.
• “A little nice goes a long way.” I love that because it’s so true. And if you believe it, too, then head over to Operation Nice. Love this website. Love the ideas. Love that it celebrates the best in each of us.
• I seriously need to start dating someone just so that I can give them this Notice of Romantic Intent. Seriously. Giving out one of these notices would be my only reason to start dating again. Let’s just say that that relationship will begin with a bang because I plan to start it off interestingly.

• Please join me in feeling stupid and test out your movie knowledge here. I only guessed 5 movie posters correctly. I suck! And I also need to visit the theater more often. At the very least, I should start paying attention to those posters lining the theater walls.
• Can you say cute? I can. I’ve been saying cute since I was eight years old and discovered a love for Hello Kitty. Every time I visited a Sanrio store, I made a beeline for Hello Kitty. I had a watch, an alarm clock, countless stickers, notebooks, bedding, and a backpack. So I was tickled when I saw these collectible figurines at Urban Outfitters. I need a mascot for my desk. I think these will work wonderfully.
• Find art everywhere. Make everything interesting. I believe in this which is why I appreciate the work of the 6emeia project. I’ve been following their site and enjoying their gutter art work. So, so creative! Fantastic urban art. And now I can’t seem to pass a crack on my street without thinking about the art I can find there. Very cool.

I NEED TO STOP SHOPPING
Because I get myself into trouble and buy random things. And my current favorite random thing area of choice is the Target Dollar Spot. Trouble, trouble, trouble.

Have a great day!
