Kitten Valentine

Pick of the Week: February 13 – 19

And here it is – the day that can bring both happiness and sadness, depending on what your relationship status is and how you’re feeling about it. This day is certainly special to a lot of those happily “taken” or married, so even this week’s pick is going to be special – our own design for Valentine’s Day called Kitten Valentine, for all those who were made for loving each other. :-)

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY to those who celebrate it, and good nerves to those who don’t. ;-)

I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You

Pick of the Week: January 30 – February 05

This Love Birds design proves that beautiful art can be found anywhere. Even something as small as a magnet on your fridge can be a tiny artistic jewel that you can be proud of. So if you’re still hesitating what to get for your “love bird”, what about buying this amazing magnet, booking a table in that restaurant your girlfriend keeps raving about and leaving her a note “Dinner in your favorite restaurant” under the magnet? Or do you have even better plans for the person you want to spend your lifetime with? ;-)

May Your Bed Never Be Cold

Pick of the Week: January 16 – 22

Valentine’s Day is less than a month away so this week’s pick brings you Kitten Valentine. We think it has enough “cute”, the perfect balance between  “sweet” and “artistic”, and the right amount of Valentine spirit.

In case you wonder why the title, watch this short video (although it’s not a song this time). May your bed never be cold, both on Valentine’s Day and throughout the whole year. :-)

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!

Winter Wonderland Holiday Necklace

I couldn’t resist just one more Christmas song.  This cute “Happy Christmas” necklace can be worn all winter – and even in those hot summer months for those of you who want to think cool thoughts.

Over the ground lies a mantle of white,
A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night…

Don’t you just love this curious little black kitty as he sits under the lamplight? It’s like he’s saying, “It’s chilly out here, please take me home with you.”

 

 

Purrfect Christmas

Today’s PotD is a Christmas design again. This pretty ornament would be a perfect gift for any cat lover in your life and it will definitely make their Christmas tree stand proud. ;-) After all, a cat person’s Christmas can’t be purrfect without cat decorations or cat songs.

Everybody wants to be a cat,
because a cat’s the only cat
who knows where it’s at.
Everybody’s pickin’ up on that feline beat,
’cause everything else is obsolete.

MEOWWY CHRISTMAS! :D

 

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!
