The Black Apple: Super quirky and curious prints

March 15, 2011

I discovered The Black Apple yesterday and boy, did I like. It’s an Etsy store peddling prints and notebooks mainly. While there’s nothing unusual in that, the unusual-ness comes from the visuals which are quirky, curious and utterly mesmerising. There are so many to choose from that it’s really hard to pick a favourite, especially when all are so captivating. But the ‘Beekeeper’ does have a certain special appeal for me as does the ‘Tattooed Lady’. Besides the prints, there are some cute n’ quirky notebooks too. I’m liking the ‘Sweet as Pie’ set of 3 notebooks and also feeling the love for ‘Wolf Boy’ in a weird and wonderful way. The Black Apple small prints cost $16 while the notebooks cost $12 for a set of 3 and they ship everywhere from $5. The super talented Emily Martin, owner and creator, has seriously got quite an imagination which has definitely grabbed my attention!

Letter writing sets so sweet

January 18, 2011

Japanese design is hot and I’m a humongous fan. Sometimes quirky, sometimes minimal, sometimes sweet and sometime just uber cool… but always hot. I recently spotted these kiddy letter writing sets by Japanese designer Shinzi Katoh and had to share. They’re just so sweet. On offer are a set called Red Hood Girl and Red Hood Forest Girl. Get a set and your pre-schooler may just scribble a colourful note to the grandparents or even to you. Or use them as hand written invites for your kiddy’s next birthday bash. Each set contains 10 sheets of paper, 5 envelopes and 5 stickers. The Shinzi Katoh letter writing sets cost £5.50 plus delivery at £1.75.

While internet traveling this morning I stumbled across Haciendo el indio, a little Spanish shop with big ideas. Ooh… I’m seriously in love. Checkout their custom printable cards – you can choose from gato (or cat), pollito (bird), tortuga (turtle) or elefante (elephant). Pay your €4.50, email them your text and they’ll send you a PDF which you can print away at home.
