Meet the ever so cute and funky Unni-Rand by Ikea, our near-future kitchen curtain.

Oh, and check out the these fab Katarina fabrics, also from Ikea, designed by Cilla Ramnek. 59 inches wide, they're priced at $7.99 per yard. I can see them turned into throw pillow covers and even more curtains. I'm dying to learn how to sew!

She's Da Bomb! I'm a 34 year old kid. When I grow up, I want to be just like my heroine, Helen Dardik. Her work makes me smile and I've been smiling since I learned of her blog, Orange You Lucky! from Print & Pattern last Saturday. =) I must say that it isn't easy choosing favorites since all her work is inspiring. But for the sake of bandwidth, here are some:

All Wrapped Up

As far back as I can remember, the sight of beautiful paper was just like magic -- it was like a happy potion. This was especially true of gift wrapping paper. So when I picked up All Wrapped Up by Kevin Akers at our local bookstore, I was thrilled! Each page featured beautiful gift wrapping paper from the 1960's. Following are some of my groovy favorites...
