I want a house full of Truck.

A bunch of my talented, creative, and resourceful lady friends have started an awesome new blog called Recession This! to help us all "navigate the economic downturn with style and humor". Loaded with quick witted tips, delicious recipes, and freebies galore, Recession This will keep you from Dreading That which ails us in these trying times. "Cheap but Chic"!

I recently started eating burgers again.

Meat and Cheese by Mike and Jen aka Duotard video by The Selby from the selby on Vimeo.

I used to work with this delightful girl named Janet who gave me a whole stack of gnome stationery once just because I mentioned how much I liked the little fellows. Her cubicle was always decorated in bright assorted lovely (as was she), and when she was pregnant, she bopped around the fluorescent lit hallways sporting the cutest Heidi braids. The last time I saw Janet was when they laid off our entire creative department two weeks before Christmas, but thanks to the glory of the internet, I have found her again! And now she's peddling her lovely. She and her husband Stu recently opened this fantastic online design shop from their new home in Virginia called Three Potato Four, and I urge you to take a visit. Look at that cactus kit above! Fantastico. I've also got my eye on these plates by Snowden Flood.

Take a visit and be prepared to make room for a old sign that says "Camp" or a pair of ceramic baboons to keep your bookshelf company. Congrats, Janet and Stu! Your store is my new favorite.

I just bought the lovely print above from the lovely Black Apple shop. Not only do I also love this and this, but I simply can't get enough of Inside a Black Apple and Some Girls Wander By Mistake. I really enjoy sneaking peeks into the lives of other artists to see how their art influences their style, and this li'l chiquita es muy bonita! I guarantee that after you check out her blog you'll either wanna bake a giant cupcake or buy a couple of hedgehogs.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are proud to announce the arrival of a new member to our li'l web family, STUDIO TOURISTIQUE! Why don't you help us celebrate with some pretty and pink bows:

Both the t-shirt and poster were inspired by the Tennessee Williams short play This Property is Condemned.

Fantastic new Mike Mills posters over at his Humans site.

I'm totally digging K. Cooper's blog Hoping for Happy Accidents. Impeccable taste, great interior/home links, and an "accidental interview" (love it!) with one of my favorite film directors, Michel Gondry. Oh, and if you haven't checked out "The Science of Sleep" yet, do yourself a favor and make it a Netflix night. Put together a spread of wine, cheese, and chocolate and lose yourself in some spellbinding incandescence. Easily the best film of last year.

Nice couch! Nice helmets!
