ready for spring

Just a few items on my spring wishlist. Although I don't wear ties, at least not yet, I love these by J.A. Christensen (sold out, sorry guys!). I'm just looking for an excuse to buy a great tie! How amazing are those stripes?

I love the optimism in the air right before spring really hits :)

warm up

Nos Da Throw/Blanket, via Horne

As the chill gets harder to break, I continue my blanket/throw search. I still haven't been able to make a commitment (quality v. price v. my-unwillingness-to-spend-over-$100-for-a-throw). I'ld rather not succumb to the usual suspects, but when it comes to price, it's hard to avoid. I'm keeping my eye out on these lovelies, maybe there is a sale in their future?

Hibernia Blanket, via Toast

These MacAusland blankets are really at the top of my list. They're quite a bit cheaper if you buy from them directly, as I learned from Katy Elliott's great blog. And nothing helps me make a decision like a testimonial.

soft maps

Ah, blanket season. I love the idea of these map quilts by Haptic Lab, especially as a baby blanket.

art of mcsweeney's

The talented folks at McSweeney's have published a nice book chronicling the quarterlies 12 years of super book design. If you haven't seen their books, I advise you order a subscription.

It can be purchased through Chronicle Books. Here are excerpts from the book over at Sight Unseen. Here is a nice little vid too.

nice identity

Love this identity for Berg & Berg. Check that personalized stamp!

best cinnamon roll ever

While in Kansas City for a bit of a mini vacation during the Fourth, we ate at a great breakfast joint in the Crossroads District/Crown Center area, You Say Tomato. The perfect cinnamon roll, a warm up with icing added.
