Shameless self indulgence: This is our new 10-week-old puppy, Mister. The photos were taken by the lovely Sharon Montrose, who gets to spend her days hanging out with things like piles of puppies and baby deer. Luckiest woman alive.
I love paper engineering, I LOVE a good pop-up. This is not only an awesome pop-up, but a terrific and heart-warming ad for Langara College’s Rethink Scholarship. Kudos.
These Pebble Pots are such a great idea. They’re so pretty and it’d be fun to create the simple stone mosaics. Add these to the list of things I’ll probably never actually do.
I’ve been doing a lot of corporate brochure design lately, and it’s really easy to lose inspiration. Here are a few good collections of interesting brochure designs to glance through if you’ve ever got the brochure blahs.

I can’t believe I haven’t put Found leashes on this site yet. I hesitated a long time before buying one, it seemed like a big investment for a leash I wasn’t sure would hold up. But hold up it did, it’s as beautiful today as it was 6 months ago. The natural colored rope paired with the gorgeous stamped brass hardware make it the most uniquely simple and chic leash we’ve ever owned. Also, a full 25% of profits go toward spaying and neutering strays, which really helps justify the expense.
