For some reason—with designer everything—no one has ever thought to make designer tents. These tents by Field Candy are just that. Unless you are camping in a spot with grizzly bears, why not have a tent that stands out?

Is it a necessary item? No, would it improve hole punching on a regular basis? I think yes. A love-filled Valentine gift for your work wife. (C'mon, you know you have one!)
Found via Design for Mankind, made by Fred Flare.

When I saw this adorable knitted record player on All The Beautiful Things I Want, I realized that my son Oliver will never know what a record player is. Or a cassette tape. Or even a compact disk for that matter. It got me thinking of other passé technology that he'll never know and how I can introduce it to him in a toy version. Just trying to keep the nostalgia alive.
And then there's the rotary phone. Or honestly, just a phone with a cord will be foreign to him! You can make your own with Caffa Knitted's Rotary Dial Telephone knitting pattern.
Oh, and the typewriter. No screen. No backspace. No iTunes. Felt typewriter found on Double Takes.
Oliver will never see a dude walking down the street with a 15-pound boom box on his shoulder. This felt boombox by Sewn by Blythe is really a work of art.

Cool fonts and font humor...both make me giddy!
Can't help but love the play on words with the font tie-pography.
If font humor makes you laugh, what does that say?
Yes, a font made from beards. Nothing is impossible. Via Design Milk.
This sign says it all. Found on Amanda Wolfe's pinboard.

Apparently time moves really quickly once you have your baby (that's what everyone is telling me), so it's definitely important to capture what you can. Here are some of my favorite baby portrait-makers...
Mila's mom illustrates her versions of her daughter's dreams in photographs while Mila is sleeping. The results are hilarious and so clever. Check out her blog, Mila's Daydreams.
Gabby from Design Mom had her 6th (uh huh, 6!) baby (sweet little Flora June) and had these amazing portraits made by Blue Lily Photography. Check out the others here.
If you live in Atlanta and you want portraits of your baby, toddler, cat, or family, here is your photographer. Traci Gingold has a very natural style—she follows your child's lead and captures beautiful, sweet, interesting moments.
If you want a fun way to document the first 12 months of your baby's life, buy a 4 x 3 foot Stendig calendar and lay/sit him in the center. Found via Ohdeedoh.

I have such a thing for lined paper...graph, handwriting, or just the traditional notebook paper. In fact, I have a whole drawer of vintage ledger papers that I've collected over the years. Still looking for something to do with them...any ideas?
Sometimes a hand written note is just not enough. It needs to be hand stitched. From the top: You can buy this at Twine; by Dash of Magic and seen on Feeling Stitchy; stitched hemp by Pi'lo; woven on a loom by Carson Elaine.
Notebook paper socks from Sock Theory.
The memo series from Fishes Eddy. So cute for a graduation party!
A notebook made of different kinds of notebook paper. Love! By Your Secret Admiral.
