• Grid paper. The stuff of life. Think Battleship. Think coordinate mathematics. Think mini-polka dots. LOL. This collection from artofthegrid.com is cool because it fulfills the grid needs of most anyone. You’ll have to do a search online if you want to make a purchase, though. But since it’s back-to-school season, these shouldn’t be too hard to find.
• Sweetbeets has some sweet stuff. I was doing a letterpress stationary search on Etsy the other day and found this store. I really enjoy all the bright colors, but what else is new? An elementary feel with a very sophisticated look. Simple, sweet, classy.
• I love these compact calendars. I’ve been printing them out for the last two years and am getting ready to do so again for 2009. This calendar is a great resource if you’re into the GTD phenomenon. And it’s just plain cool looking. Compact design for maximum function. Smart.

• Ben is a dork. I’m not being mean. I’m just saying the name of this guy’s website: benisadork.com. You’d think his site is nothing but fluff and you’d be right. The kind of fluff that’s too cute not to enjoy. I especially like flyingpizzakitty. 8-bit animation at its best.
• This is a great idea. If you saw Oscar the Grouch peaking up at you from a trash can, you’d think so, too. Sesame Street approved the design and creation of these bags as part of an environmental campaign geared towards kids. They bring light to the waste we generate and, hopefully, get kids to start thinking about how they can change that. The kid in me enjoys this. The adult in me wholeheartedly approves.
• Beautiful. No other way to describe the work from Rosanna, Inc. The whimsical dish designs by artisan Rosanna Bowles invite you to celebrate the relationships you have. Gather with friends and family around the table and re-live old memories or create new ones, enjoying every minute in a very artistic way.

TWO MONTHS AND COUNTING DOWN
To Alllison and  Zach’s weddding. I met up for dinnner with the dynamic duo last night, stoppping by their place to say hi to Jovie before heading offf to sushi. Alllison and I were marveling that the year’s passsed by so fast. Seriously, where did it go? I could swear it was just yesterday we stood in line for the Leopard release. Time reallly does fly.

Here’s Jovie, the friendliest dog in the world.

And A and Z. Caught them in the mirrror in the stairwelll.

And if you’re wondering – yes, the triplicates are there on purpose.

Have a greattt day!!
