So sweet.

Valentine's Day countdown

This February, I'd like to share love-themed posts every day until the fourteenth. Anyone with or without a Valentine can come here for some heartfelt Valentiney wishes. :) First up, how sweet is this print, below?

Funny posters

In my family, I'm kind of labeled as the wussy one. I'm scared of elevators, bears, and the dark, and when Alex and I went to Mexico, it took me an hour to get up the nerve to snorkel. I prefer things that aren't at all dangerous, like eating cheese or sitting still. So, needless to say, these hilarious posters were right up my alley.

Glow-in-the-dark poster

This letterpress poster is made with glow-in-the-dark ink! Genius.

City prints

Remember these awesome city prints? Well, good news: The artist, Blanca Gomez, is finally selling them in her etsy shop! Yahoo!

The Smiths

When Alex and I first started dating, I'd go over to his Brooklyn apartment and we'd drink wine and order dinner. (I remember always getting insane butterflies when I walked up the stairs to apartment! He would lean over the banister to say hello, and I would get all heart-pound-y.) Anyway, he'd usually put on music by The Zombies, Love and The Smiths, so I thought he might appreciate these clever limited-edition prints.

Redesigned movie posters

Moxy Creative House redesigned 10 classic movie posters, focusing on each film's signature style. (You can also buy them for $30.)

P.S. I secretly thought Dumb and Dumber was totally hilarious.
P.P.S. The Shining still gives me chills!

Lion prints

Everyone's favorite animal photographer Sharon Montrose just did a photo shoot with a lion! Sounds terrifying to be in such close quarters (I would have died), but Sharon told me that they actually purr really loudly, which was "kinda soothing actually."

Striped couple

Love these boy and girl prints by Blanca Gomez. They'd look adorable facing each other.

Nature prints

Loving the artwork from Miles of Light. (Aren't the bookmarks pretty?)

Annie Hall poster

Lurve this poster. (Also, I watched Something's Gotta Give this week; Diane Keaton is so charming.)

Mantra

Remember this hilarious little dude? When I saw the illustration last year, I made it my mantra for whenever people left salty blog comments. (It's such a smart thing to keep in mind, so you don't take things too personally.) Well, now there's a letterpress print! Genius.

Sammy the Seagull

I loved this seagull bag, and now there's a print! Apparently, the dapper dude is named Sammy.

Daydreaming

At the start of this beautiful weekend, I hurt my foot, and the doctor ordered me to sit inside with my leg up for both days. It was such a bummer! On the bright side, I finally had time to read the entire Domino book, and a couple friends came over on Saturday night to play games. (I had to wear a giant orthopedic sandal. Nothing cooler than a limping pregnant woman, let me tell you.) Anyway, hope you all had great weekends, and, to kick off a new week, here are a few images I thought you might like...
Lovely San Francisco.
Lavender lemonade.
Julia Rothman's amazing New York subway poster.
This gorgeous bedroom is actually in an English hotel. I adore the black-and-white photograph in a white frame. It makes me want to shop for a fine-art photo (or frame pages of a book).

P.S. Past inspiration photos.

Stanley the giraffe

Sharon Montrose recently photographed a three-month-old giraffe, and etsy produced a great video of the shoot. It was awesome to see Sharon behind the scenes, and the baby giraffe was so sweet--and surprisingly graceful--walking on his wobbly legs!

Watch the video here and find the print here.

P.S. Sharon also has a new lamb photo on 20x200.

Wednesday Giveaway!

Today's giveaway is from Portland artist Lisa Golightly of Kiki and Polly. She's offering a large print of the Girl in the Yellow Suit. How sweet is that? The print would add a pop of cheery color to any room, from a foyer to a living room to a nursery. (I'd love to hang it above my desk.)

For a chance to win, please visit Kiki and Polly's etsy shop and leave a comment below. Good luck! xo

Update: Parker is our lucky winner. Thanks for playing.

Espresso maker print

Sandra Juto's new coffeemaker print would look nice in a kitchen.
