TEA TIME

Just want to show off my new flea market find. A jar for lose tea. Cleverly designed with a hatch on the lid to pore the lose leafs from. Clever designers.

KYNOCH SCARF

Love the brand of this old scarf. I gave it to my dad for xmas, who likes his new scottish scarf.

GOSH!

When did that happen?

LAB PARTNERS FOR M&S

I had to buy another tin from Marks & Spencer's xmas range. Don't know what I am going to use it for - cookies, pasta...pizza? - but it looks awesome.

It is designed by Lab Partners. I think I like the original version better with the blue faces. 

Neweycraft Press Fastener

Love the typography.

Will have to make myself a cool bag now.

Nude dishcloth

Bought this cool dishcloth designed by Lisa Bengtsson the other week. Suddenly washing up is a more pleasurable affair.  

What a brilliant idea for getting guys that don't like washing up, including myself, to do the washing. Cleaver cookie that Lisa Bengtsson.

Steven Russ continued

More of Steven Russ work for Penguin from my bookshelf.

The score is far to small to play from but the packaging is amazing.

Browning

It is going to be one of those weeks when I don't have much time for the blog. 

Will be full up with work but the week will pass quickly. Touch wood.

Think I will be reading the penguin poetry book on Browning because of its book designer Steven Russ.
Every time I see his designs either for penguin poet or music series I have to pick it up.

Bordsvisa

Should have uploaded this table song card last weekend when there were midsummer celebrations in Sweden. The summer solstice is a very good excuse to sing and be merry you know. If you want to see what the crazy Swedes get up to then check this page out.

Love the illustrations. If you know the song then join in!

Oh Henry

Another great graphic designer out there has come up with this cool packaging. The liquorice did disappear but the packaging remains.

If you wanna see this suave fellow in animated splendor then check out Henry Goode's website.

Book of fonts

The graphical design geek in me is in love with fonts and so I was very exited when I found The Studio book of Alphabets from 1953 in my local charity shop. There are so many cool fonts out there.

Glove and Hate

For a guy like me that likes cooking/baking and graphical desing this was a must have. The clever designer is Stuart Gardiner who has a range of other kitchen products on his site.

This tattoo oven glove will be well used.

Marks and Sparks cookie selection

I'm a graphical design geek and I love this xmas packaging done by some smart employee of Marks and Spencer. I gave away the cookies but keept the box for needles, zippers, teddy bear eyes and odd sewing things.
