Very Merry

Peace.

Holiday Dogs

Personalized stationery! Featuring our Holiday Dogs collection! Available here.

By the way, there is much truth to the rumor that Skipjack Challis-Roos can often be seen wearing a sweater very similar to the green number depicted above-- especially during December's howl-iday festivities! (Woof!)

Owls-- Wise & Personalized

Our favorite cheerful owls have found their home on a wide range of products-- all of which can be personalized. Check out the collection here. Resting atop their branches these two owls may appear stationary, but they sure make for some great stationery!

Peace. Now.

Our Peace-themed fabric designs are available now at Hancock!

Road Trip!

Our new "Road Trip" Slideshow is up! Check it out at Smilebox. This is pretty fun-- there are lots of little graphic elements available so you can really customize your slideshow. Wish "Real Life" was as easily customizable... I'd love to be able to simply click my mouse and change my sensible Subaru Outback into a vintage royal blue station wagon rocking pink hubcaps and kick-ass fins! Vroooom....

Our brand new "Floral Escapes" collection is now available at Bradford. Check out the set of checks, labels and coordinating checkbook cover here!

Which Whales? Why, these whales. Our brand new "Whale Watch" shower curtain and collection of coordinating accessories are available at Target.

Inspiration.

All the surprising colors of nature. Earth tones--unexpectedly bright, joyously vibrant. The many-layered elements that surround us. Each so unique. So captivating. There is inspiration in every living thing. Every leaf, every bud and blossom. Look closely and see the yet-to-be-discovered universe in every seed.

Con "grad" ulations!

Brand new design, and it's available through Sunrise-- our new card for all the graduates of 2011. (Like, for example-- Kevin!)

Casual, Stylish

Check out the new notebooks we did for Running Rhino. We're really digging these little items. They're palm size, pocket size, just the right size. The cover art is colorful and peppy, and the foil accents are really intricate and deluxe. Nice.

Acrophonic Owls

Looks like the early birds have scored all the worms. Again. But these eager owls are first in line for whatever comes next. I have a hunch Foxtrot will soon be joining the queue.

Rhinos On The Run

Have you checked out Running Rhino's 2011 everyday catalog? It's available here.

The Now.

This present moment is filled with action and color. Packed with promise, and brimming with infinite interest. Though brilliantly bright, and cranked up to 10, the present moment sits in contemplative silence-- a narrow band tucked cleverly between what was, and what will be. The major plot lines have been penciled in, but (without a doubt) there are twists-a-plenty planned for next season. And we'll be in the front row with popcorn. The possibilities, and the probabilities, are endless. Stay tuned.

Every Seventh Wave

Details from a tropically-tinged still life on a deliciously rainy pre-springtime afternoon.

If every seventh wave delivers just a little extra sea-treasure upon the beach, does every seventh raindrop bring the butterflies of springtime just a little nearer?

Do It Now. Faites-le Maintenant.

Do what you love. Every day.

Year Of The Rabbit...

May this year be filled with a quiet, gentle peace. Tashi Delek!

Naturewalk

What do you think of this John Muir quote?
In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.
Pretty cool, don't you think?

So Many Stars

John said it best-- Yeah, we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
