These, because they just feel like they fit the day. More follow in this flickr set, but these few are my favorites. Don’t you wish you were at the beach contemplating clouds and seagulls too? From Black Eiffel.

Linzie Hunter Sketches
These lovely sketches look like some you’d find on one of my fave sites, Book By its Cover. I discovered them, however, here on Behance’s Typography off-shoot site. Very cool finds there.
Make Your Own Muppet!
Today’s most charming dispatch comes via my friend Maya through Jason Santa Maria:
Yes, friends. It’s true. How do more people not do this? Build-A-Bear what? I’d like to introduce you all to Lucille, my hot rockabilly hipster girl. She’s tooootally loves Elvis Costello, Film Noir, and her Chuck Taylors.
Pink Loves Brown
Studio tour! I’ve seen Pink Love Brown goodies in some local Chicago shops (Paper Doll, I think), but didn’t realize how much more there was to see. Thanks, Decor8 for reminding me. Blog, online shop, and full house tour.
