I’m loving this design for the Shanghai Expo 2010 by Polish architects Wojciech Kakowski, Natalia Paszkowska and Marcin Mostafa. The design is inspired by Polish folk art paper cutouts.
There seems to be some controversy in the comments on Dezeen regarding how or if the physical building will turn out. I personally just enjoy the concept and the images!

I am crazy for these funky glass earrings made by OddGlass! Check out their Etsy shop if you feel so inclined…
You can see a much bigger version here.
This intricate cross stitch was created by RubyKhan, who got her inspiration from Craig Robinson’s Minipop drawings on Flip Flop Flyin’.
Go here for a little guide telling who each person is on the sampler – I found Hugh Hefner and the Royal Tenenbaums on my own, but I needed a little help on some others! She also has a ton more awesome pictures!
So cool!
I found these awesome light switches in fuckychickendesign’s Etsy shop! There are many cute designs besides these too – I just need to figure out which ones I want to grace my apartment!
I am loving this densely layered folk-inpsired collage by Hilary Pecis. It makes me think of mountains and caves made from patchworked sweaters!
She currently has a show at Receiver Gallery in San Fransisco. The show is called The Paradigm Shift.

I noticed this in one of the glass display cases at our company’s coffee shop. I have been thinking about it and ways for me to make one myself all day! Regular readers won’t be surprised, since they know my affinity for maps and map-inspired things! Still, I am so impressed! Someone put so much work into this – they even stitched in quite a few of the countries! So great…

Where is Tasmania??!
I have been seeing vests everywhere the last few seasons, and I love it! We have come out with quite a few sweet little vests lately, and I’ve been just itching to get my hands on them!
Check out this cute Beaded Lace Vest! It also comes in lavender.
Shown below is our Velveteen Lead Vest, which also comes in bronze.
We also have a really cute Drippy Silk Vest! I love it in the taupe too.
My question to you is, which vest do you like best?
This book looks so beautiful! Deanne Cheuk illustrated this book called Mushroom Virus Girls: A Guide to the Identification and Study of Our Commoner Fungi with Special Emphasis on the Edible Varieties. You can see some of the amazing illustrations on Deanne’s web site. The book is sold out on the site, but you can still buy it on Amazon.
The cover is supposedly the world’s first fully embroidered linen cloth cover. I would probably want to take the book apart and frame all the artwork!
Thanks to design for mankind for the link:)

Isn't this such a lovely cover??? So glad you're as enamored as I. ;) Love Free People!
These knitted light-bulbs are just achingly cute! Created by Disco Smurf, you can find the pattern to make your own here! (It’s a .pdf)
I’m getting my knitting needles ready…
