The Sun: our nearest star - Helen Borten

We posted a beautiful book by Helen Borten last week. Here's another one, equally as lovely, you can get a copy here.
I love the old fashioned stove.

CocoaVino

Not only does the packaging look incredible, the chocolates also look divine, check out the other goodies at CocoaVino , there are also some interesting pictures of the making process.

The Hungry Moon - illustrations by Carlos Mérida

I came across this book the other day at the library, I think it was the retro mustard colored spine that kind of jumped out at me! The illustrations are by Carlos Mérida you can see some more of his paintings here.
I found one copy for sale on ebay which has a really beautiful dust jacket.

Game Parts

How I would love a set of this vintage children's game, visit Take a Break's Flickr account to see more game parts.

Whom Shall I Marry? Arnold Spilka

Whom Shall I Marry written and illustrated by Arnold Spilka. The ink drawings are the sweetest & I like the pink pastel and how freely it was used.
There are one or two copies available here

The Day the Cow Sneezed - James Flora

If I was ever going to end stickers and stuff (don't worry I have no plans to do that) this would be the post I could end it on, I think this book by James Flora is perfection. I could look at it again and again and just never ever get tired of it.
I LOVE the endpapers.
Somebody ought to republish it.

Henri's Walk to Paris - Saul Bass

Saul Bass is one of my all time favorite designers, I love how he made the illustrations in this book so graphically pleasing, each page would make a perfect poster. And his colors are just fantastic.

Puff - William Wondriska

after doing this post and seeing this post about Puff, I really wanted to get my hands on a copy of the book. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the internet but sometimes there is nothing quite like holding some printed papers in your hands, and these were particularly lovely!

Charley Harper - Ammo Boks

I went to Old Navy a few weeks ago and bought this delightful Memory Game, its made by Ammo Books. It was hard for me to choose what to buy, check out the rest of the Charley Harper goodies here.

ffffound images - i likey

above image by Gabi Beltran

some images I came across recently on ffffound some of them I couldnt follow the originator for the artwork, which is a bummer.
I especially liked the top image - the only thing it said was 'wireless' does anyone know anything more?

Tiny Buildings

I first saw these Tiny Buildings a while ago on this post over at Swiss Miss, I forgot all about them and then saw this image on ffffound at the weekend.
Other people have had some fun making their own, so Sharon from Tiny Buildings started a flickr group where you can check them out.

MoMA Store - Korean goodies

For a limited time you can get some of these fun Korean products from the MoMA store I like the little wooden blocks rattle set with the faces.
