Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Pick of the Week: January 02 – 08

We’ve decided to change our Pick of the Day to Pick of the Week as our schedules have gotten more busy recently. So from now on, we want to regularly feature only one design a week, with the possibility of random Picks of the Day whenever we find more designs worth posting throughout one week. You can keep submitting your designs of course. :)

This week’s design is this amazing vintage roses notepad. Who says that you have to write your ideas down on a plain slip of paper? The brilliance of your thoughts will definitely stand out even more when you record them on paper with a beautiful design. Be it amazing plans for your business or thoughtful lyrics like Poison’s:

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn.

Don’t be afraid to make bold plans for 2012!

I Won’t Let Go

This Vintage Peacock & Etchings design is a perfect pick for all the love birds who want to send out their wedding invitations in classy and elegant envelopes. After all, if you feel like taking the plunge, why not do it in style? ;-)

And remember, there are bound to be rainy days but you should just grit your teeth and say: “I won’t let go.” :-)

Bed of Roses

Imagine a lazy Sunday morning. You’re still in bed, reading your favorite book, watching your favorite movie or listening to your favorite music. Yeah, or doing another favorite activity of yours;-) Either way, you’re bound to get hungry and thirsty eventually and there’s nothing better than sipping your favorite drink out of a mug with your favorite design.

Monarch Sunflower

Here in Grapevine, we get pretty lucky. Every year in October the elegant Monarch butterflies migrate through on their way to Mexico, filling our skies with painted wings. The Monarch’s migration can fill even adult hearts with wonder. How each generation knows to start the journey. Their beauty and their determination make them a favorite from New York, where this beautiful photo was taken, to Texas, to Mexico and around the world.  And who knows?

You might wake up some morning
to the sound of something moving past your window in the wind.
And if you’re quick enough to rise,
you’ll catch the fleeting glimpse
of someone’s fading shadow.
Out on the new horizon
you may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings.
And if the sleep has left your ears
you might hear footsteps running through an open meadow…
Don’t be concerned.
It will not harm you.
It’s only me pursuing something I’m not sure of …

What dreams do the Monarchs inspire you to pursue?

Flower Power

Whether you’re going to San Francisco or Wall Street, this brightly psychedelic flowered iPhone case will show off your counter culture spirit. Would you like to support “Main Street”? What better way to show your support than buying directly from the artist who created this fun and funky design!

Flowers We Are

This colorful intricate design deserves a very special piece of music – calm, peaceful, relaxing and just as delicate as the tulips. I present you this composition by Yiruma so that both your eyes and ears rest a little and enjoy the beauty that art brings us, be it a poster or a song.  ;-)
