The Illustrations of Naiad & Walter Einsel

Naiad and Walter Einsel’s illustrations graced the pages of several prominent magazines during the 1950s and 60s. Whether in black and white or in vivid color, the designs never cease to entertain and leave you wanting more.

Just check out that cheddar ad (below). Cheese AND plaid AND awesome illustration?!? You’ll want more. Trust me.

Thanks to Today’s Inspiration blog for clueing me in about this beautiful husband-and-wife design team:

Wordshop Wednesday: Jenn Ski Art

I am 100%, absolutely positively head-over-heels in love with the retro-modern giclée prints created by the lovely Ms. Jenn Ski, available in her Etsy shop. Coincidentally, her creations nicely fit my current alphabet fetish.

Check out Jenn Ski’s blog HERE, and follow her on Twitter HERE.

Oh, and PS) Just found out via @Jenn_Ski that she was featured in the lifestyle section of Boston.com today! Read the article and catch some glimpses of her mod-style home HERE.

French Friday: Ribambelles!

Nothing like the beauty of découpage to lead into a (much-deserved) long, holiday weekend. The following photos have been kindly borrowed from Agence Eureka’s Flickr set. These cutouts are so ridiculously cute, they kinda make me want to go home, put on my sweats, grab my scissors, sit under a blanket, and cut things up. In a non-violent manner, of course.

Enjoy!
