This week's links. Enjoy.
Whites, Cream, DECOR!
I was introduced to this wonderful Flickr group by a recent post on the lovely Victoria's sfgirlbybay blog. It's right up my alley as it features interiors in all shades of white. Love.
DIY Felt Ornaments
The always fab How About Orange blog has rounded up some great links for making your own felt ornaments. These would make fun projects for kids, too.
When Bad Covers Happen to Good Books
I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one who finds a badly designed cover completely distracting when reading a book. An excellent argument for good book design!
Sketchy Santas
A blog along the lines of Awkward Family Photos, this one features classic photos of kiddies with Santa. Lots of howling wee ones, and some pretty freaky looking Santas, too...
The Etsy Packaging Pool
An inspiring Flickr pool featuring beautiful packaging by Etsy sellers. A great place to visit for ideas on holiday wrapping!
Things That Go Pop!
Fun CBC article about holiday TV specials — the best, the worst, and the weirdest. I still love the music for the Charlie Brown Christmas (which almost didn't happen), and I watch The Grinch (the cartoon, of course — never the movie) each year, too.
The Rise and Fall of Design Within Reach
An in depth Fast Company article that examines why a company that began with such promise now finds itself in such dire straits. Via Design Observer.
Twelve Days of Holiday Sweets
Saveur magazine is doing a fun holiday series called Twelve Days of Holiday Sweets — so far, it's been Dream Cookies and Almond-Cream Tartlets.
