Miss Modish

Lovely lady Jena (a.k.a. Miss Modish) from Portland, Oregon,

opened up a vintage store late last year. Check out these cute fringed vintage heels!

I'd recommend visiting her blog too... it's the bomb!

Daily Drop Cap

These painfully beautiful drop caps are by American typographer and illustrator Jessica Hische. She has produced a decorative initial cap every day since September 2009 and will continue until she has at least 12ish alphabets. AND these drop caps are available for non-commercial use on personal blogs! YAY. Visit them all at Daily Drop Cap.

She's also coming out to Australia to speak at Semi Permanent in March this year.

Custom Made

Custom Made is indie design by Anna Butler. After a few emails back in 2007, I met her last year at Brick Lane Market in London... she's lovely and so are her designs (all handcrafted by the way). This is her Beware of the Yeti brooch. Me likey!

David Shrigley

David Shrigley is an artist/designer from Glasgow, his work is comical and too cool for school, like these Cocaine and Heroin salt and pepper shakers.
