Gathering Inspiration

Linea Found: Journaling Digital Memories

I am so happy to be presenting a fellow creative, but more importantly, good friend Jorgen Gulliksen and his newly launched website and business: Linea Found!

Most of us, busy with the on-goings of life, try to be dutiful in documenting our moments (particularly with young children) in hopes of capturing those precious ah-ha segments, so that we can remember them and share them with our loved ones. However, the realization of, "Well, what do we do now with all these great images and videos?" Look no further... Jorgen of Linea Found is your answer.

Of course, I'm a bit biased, in looking at Jorgen's artistry in weaving together our life story. Hopefully you will find the inspiration to have your own digital tapestry to wrap yourself around too! You won't regret it. I promise!

Gaja Gaja - Tea Collection

I might be one of the few to appreciate this, but one of my favorite children's clothing company – Tea Collection is offering up Korean-inspired clothing for children! And... today, I received an email offering where they infuse Korean lingo into their marketing campaign: "Gaja, Gaja" - which as it shows, means "Let's go, Let's go!".

Love that I'm seeing more of Korean aesthetics being layered into design. Being half Korean, this does bring a sense of pride and finally, more recognition on how cool korean design can be!

Heath Ceramics: Kid's Set with Flatware

I'm a BIG fan of HEATH ceramics, and while perusing through their website, saw the most cutest Kid's Ceramic Set with flatware. The colors are so rich, yet perfect for the kiddie-flair style! We have only one plastic plate that Liam still uses, and am ready to toss it out the window, or maybe use it as an earwig death trap for the garden.

its a table ... its a chair ... its a fort

it's da-bloom from industrial designer jin-young lee.
made from plywood and plastic, the table can be customized
to your liking with just a few simple twists and turns.
use it as a chair and table or for the children to create
an imaginary hide-out. da-bloom can also be custom
made in various colors - you choose your bloom.
