I love the images in this magazine called Seasons.  They even have a section on craft blogs too which I will try to post at a later date.  The only problem being that I can’t read Russian even though I find the look of the language very artistic.  Here are a few images that I think are inspirational.

I love to flip through Nylon magazine for its vibrant and hip take on art, fashion, beauty, and music. Inside each issue of Nylon you’ll find cutting edge trends in clothes, beauty, music, culture, interesting interviews and great photography.  It’s really different than most magazines out there today.  This is an inspirational magazine that features the hippest trends before they even become trends.  Check it out.  There is also  special at Best Deal Magazines.  You can get a 1-year subscription for $4.69 and I think you can use the code “WKLYSPEC” to get another 20% off for a grand total of $3.75.  If the code doesn’t work $4.69 is still a great deal!

I adore Chronicle Books and their selection of inspiring books.  The collection that they offer isn’t random and there aren’t pages upon pages of books to sift through.  Each book seems to be hand selected just for viewers who appreciate everything visual.  I love everything they have from picture books to cookbooks.  Use the following promo codes for your discount:

I have always loved Hello Kitty!  Actually, anything Sanrio makes.  Sign up for Hello Kitty’s Sweet Happy News and get 15 FREE Hello Kitty emoticons.  These emoticons will bring a smile to anyone’s face.  And then maybe you will be motivated to design your own emoticons.

 

Have you ever heard of Gudrun Sjödén?  If not, you definitely need to get your little behinds over to see what it’s all about.  The colors, textures, smells.  Smells?  Yes, you can just close your eyes and you are there.  I love this site and the images and of course, the products.  Their Home Spring 2010 Collection is now available, inspired by three themes: the Provence circus caravan, Vikingshill, and Dala-Floda.  My favorite of these, the circus caravan.  I love everything bohemian.  Oh, and their clothing line isn’t bad either!

I love Tokidoki and I always want to buy everything. I especially would love to get a Tokidoki Black Eyed Peas concert t-shirt which of course you can only get at the concert. Boo! I will just have to satisfy my cravings with this cool new Til Death Do Us Part video.  So cute!

I heart Paper Source (with a passion)!  I admit I have always had a paper fetish.  I hoard paper, stationary, anything with a pretty print.  I wish there was a Paper Source store here in Las Vegas but I am out of luck.  I am just grateful that I can peruse their online store and the great Easy Craft Ideas they have.  This envelope accordion book is one of them.

There are so many possible uses for this.  I would like to make a 12-envelope book.  One envelope for each month to store all of my son’s photos and small memorobilia for each month.  How cute would that be?  Oh, and Paper Source not only has step-by-step instructions for their projects, many have how-to videos too.  Now go out and make something!

 

Today’s inspirational photos are brought to you by one of my favorite sites (other than Anthropologie), TerrainActually I think they are both owned by Urban Outfitters.  Yes, this is not an independent design store but I have to say, that I window shop on these sites all the time without buying anything.  I just absorb the colors and textures.  I applaud whoever their stylists and photographers are.  You can find more of these images here.

I just wish they would open one of these stores here.  Unfortunately the flagship store is in Glenn Mills, PA.  I really want to eat at their cafe.  Check out their menu.
