A Year Planned























Found this beautiful yearly planner on designsponge
If only it came in more colors...

Old Timer






















You can't beat the look of "old" sometimes, and this magnetic timer is just perfect in all it's old timey goodness.

Let Your Garden Grow





















These days we all have way too many things that need charging, so why not get a charging station with a little earthy twist... 

Pantone Pepper Mill


As a designer I have to love my Pantone and these pepper mills are pretty darn cool.

I have been on a mission...


















...for a soap dispenser that isn't ugly for quite awhile. And of course when I finally find one that doesn't make me cringe it costs more than anyone should EVER spend on a freakin' soap dispenser... sigh... available here.

Cute as a button












I recently developed quite the pile of mending and with this little travel sewing kit I can now mend to my hearts content. Available in both pink and green.

Pantone Goodness















This stool is just the pop of color every room needs. Too bad it costs an arm and a leg and another leg...

Watercolor Wallet


LOVE the watercolor design on this wallet.

Memo Block























Just what every desk needs... a block of wood (made of paper). 

Bath Mat Awesomeness























Just awesome. Available here.

My little alien timer


Why this reminds me of an alien I'm not sure... but I do love it's retro-ness and it's ability to time two things at once. Available here.

Swinging Clock


I LOVE this clock. I just wish it wasn't so small. And so expensive...

Oversized greatness


I love things where the proportion has been completely changed into the opposite of what you normally expect. Example A: this giant clothespin. Available in orange, bluewhite and black.

Around the corner


Not sure how I feel about this around-the-corner frame but I do have to admit it is a pretty cool idea.

Paper AND Pencil 2


Another nice little paper and pencil combo.

Pretty Perpetual Calendar


So pretty, clean and simple. Available here.

Turns out I love Tape Dispensers























And this tape dispenser is fabulous. Simply fabulous.

Bathroom Storage on the Swivel


This has to be the perfect little storage tray for a bathroom - now you can hide your ugly old makeup AND show off your pretty new lipstick... plus it's only $21.

And there's a mini one available too!

A Tower of Tape


Yet another awesome tape dispenser...

They're Grrrreat


Kellogg's is selling these stackable bowls online and I have to say I like. Available in vintage designs inspired by Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Smacks, and Sugar Pops. Not only are they on sale right now for $30 but they're microwave and dishwasher safe.

It's Schtickers!


These would have been AH-MAZING in college. But even now, I kinda like the idea of being able to make any surface a chalkboard or whiteboard this easily. Plus they're reusable, removable and only $25.

If I ever win the lottery...


..this set of drawers is mine. ALL mine.

Cardstock


I LOVE the idea of this... 40 different cards for ALL the situations when cards are necessary ALL for only $60 and in one convenient box. Includes: 6 birthday, 2 congratulations, 2 valentines, 6 thank you, 2 mother's day, 2 father's day, 2 sympathy, 2 anniversary, 4 blank, 2 get well, 6 holiday and 4 new year cards.

Paper AND Pencil


I found these memo pads somewhere a long time ago and loved the idea of always having a place for both your paper AND pencil. I definitely need to get one...

Alarm Clock: The 2 Parter


A little bit modern and a little bit of a throw back, this alarm clock is a little bit awesome.

One-of-a-kind


I like this
throw. I like it a lot. BUT I really don't like the idea of purchasing something that is "made with unique knit patches and different pattern placement - therefore, your one-of-a-kind piece will vary from the one pictured" online. If only I could get this exact one with all the cool graphic black and white stripes... sigh.

The "Fun Flask"


I used to watch "Gilmore Girls" pretty religiously (loved that show) and ever since they went to a Yale football game and busted out the "fun flask" I have always wanted one. Plus the outdoorsy old school feel of this one is just kinda awesome.

Turns out my store will sell furniture too...

So my parents have redecorated since I moved out and now they are in need of a futon-like option so I have somewhere to sleep when I visit. I however, kinda hate futons and think most of them are really ugly. So here are the options I have compiled for my mom... that all just so happen to be Jenn-store-worthy. Above we have one of my favs: the Finn Lounger from CB2.

The Lubi daybed has definitely made the blog rounds, but you have to love it's simplicity.

This new Clark Sofa from West Elm seems perfect for small spaces and the back folds down to accommodate for guests (aka Jenn).

This Storage Daybed by West Elm is a little bulkier than I like BUT you can't beat the storage and the price (it's on sale)!

And I guess if you reeeeally want a futon, this one (especially with this patterned cover) isn't so bad.

Poor typography nerd that I am...


I love these glasses, have loved them for a long time and yet still have not actually purchased them.

Uncommonly good glassware


On "Day o' Drinking Glasses" it seemed only fitting to point out the awesome selection of glasses they have over at Uncommon Goods. This site has innumerable fun things hidden away on it but it's glassware selection is both beautiful and quirky.

Take a number


Turns out today is "Day o' Drinking Glasses" here on the blog so here are a few more the typography nerd in me liked... basic numbers and nutrition facts.

Green Glass Glasses



What do you know, my love of packaging extends to beer. And these recycled beer bottles turned drinking glasses are not only cool and graphic but green too.

THE coolest coin purse EVER


I am in love with a coin purse and I don't even like coin purses.

Paper Pots


I hate kleenex boxes. I do appreciate their recent attempt in the last few years to design them up a little bit more BUT I am still not a fan. This little guy however, is awesome. Now I can buy the ugliest cheapest box of tissues out there and no one will ever know... 

Darts anyone?


If James Bond ever needs a coat hook, this is the one for him... and me too.

Business cards find a new home


I hate to admit it, but all the business cards I have ever been given are in a pile somewhere in the bottom of a drawer. BUT with this beautifully simple organizer I will never lose one again... hopefully. AND it's even on sale right now.

Hi. I'm Mat.


Best doormat ever.

Scissors on Point


Fancy new office supplies just make office work that much less painful and these colorful fun scissors would be a wonderful addition to any desk. Part functional and part decorative is part perfect to me. Plus, they're available in four colors.

Perpetual Calendar


As I've said before I have a thing for all things typographic so of course I love calendars. And this is the first of many I'm sure that I will feel the need to share. I have wanted this beautiful clean and green (hey it's perpetual no?) calendar for like ever and yet I never seem to be able to cough up the chunk of change necessary to get one...

Test Tubes of Spice


I am just ALL over the place here aren't I? BUT this spice rack is just so perfect in all it's science project like test tube beauty that I just had to share.

Flipper

My love of typography extends to clocks and this one is just too cool. Measuring 13" x 5" x 4" this clock is sure to make a rather large statement... and I wonder a rather large sound as it flips...

I covet a tape dispenser


Weird? Yes. BUT this has to be the most perfect tape dispenser that ever was. My love of type might be influencing my desire but I love, I love, I love. 

It's stache-tastic!

So I think mustaches are funny. A little trendy yes, but if we weren't experiencing a bit of a stache renaissance right now, I doubt any of these awesome products would be available. Above is THE Mr. Mustache who comes complete with four removable staches.

These salt and pepper shakers make as classy a stache as I've ever seen and would look perfect on my dining room table.

Mustachio Nut here is just amazing and this simple mustache decal gives a blank wall a whole personality.

...and this ring would just bring me endless entertainment. 

So all in all, I guess there would have to be a whole section dedicated to the majesty of the stache in my store. ;)
