I tweeted this last night but for all of you who don’t follow me on twitter; I give to you the most adorable to go tea cups ever! If I owned a tea room I would want my logo and cups to look exactly like this. So perfect. Great job done by UK designer Sarah Walsh.

I never really talk about wedding invites. The image above caught my eye. A lavender card engraved with scrolling diagonal red script. The marbled interior is really stunning. Kinda funky and different. Check out 49 more inspiring invitations over at marthstewart.com.

One of my favorite local mags to read is edible Boston. The photography and layout are captivating and gorgeous.

Many of the photos in the seasonal based magazine are by Michael Piazza. Michael creates simple photographs that will make drool. Snapshots that somehow capture the taste and smell of his edible subjects. Above is the Spring 2009 cover designed by Michael. The second half of the image appears along side a story about “Shad in the Charles River”. Below are just a few of Michael’s photographs that have appeared in edible Boston.

How lovely are these french textbook diagrams? I love the colors and the illustrations. Great inspiration. Check out more on Pillipat’s flickr photostream: flickr.com.

I stole this from Elisabeth at All Stripes. Seriously lady are you ever going to blog again? I miss you.

I’ve been thinking about these flowers for months. They appeared in The New York Times as part of an op-art piece for Valentine’s day. Totally cracks me up.

I love this idea. A self-inking stamp with custom font. Sometimes I like my handwriting but I always seem to mess it up when I’m trying to write inside the tiny little box on an envelope. A great idea if you send out a lot of letters. A few of my favorites above and below. To purchase check out letter girl’s shop on etsy.

This card by Linea Carta has been all over the blogs. Just in case you missed it I thought I would share it here. The script is beyond beautiful. I would love it framed. Just $6 at linea carta’s etsy shop.

Decorative lines and swoops of pen make me wish I took calligraphy classes. Above a detail from the February issue of Martha Stewart Living featuring the penmanship of “E. L. Brown, a master penman of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, executed the work above, imbuing it with a rhythmic sense of movement.” Below a bright turquoise framed scarf from the 1950′s featuring calligraphic designs. Two of my favorite calligraphy pieces available through Tillou Antiques date between 1875-1885. The sweeping scrolls give each of the works great energy and sense of movement.
