Greeting and Note Cards
I personally think you can never have too many cards.  There are so many reasons to give a card, birthday, thank you, anniversary and my favorite: just because.  Cards make people feel special.  Taking the time to write a card to friends and loved ones is a great way to spread love and joy.

Pineapples

I first noticed this trend in the December 2010 Living Etc. magazine.  This Meg Mathews Silver Pineapple Wallpaper is pretty interesting.  I can see it in a tiny bathroom, talk about statement for your walls!  And a great conversation starter if you’re brave and love pineapples!  I can also image this wallpaper in that cottage in the woods kitchen, all white washed cupboards and this on the walls, talk about drama!

Here is some simple pineapple stationary, very tropical chic.

 
Crane & Co. Engraved Pineapple Ecruwhite Notes - The symbol of hospitality for centuries, a golden pineapple is hand engraved in fine detail on these ecru white notes. Matching envelopes are lined in satin gold. Great for sending a welcoming note to a new neighbor.

Horses

Of course, Thomas Paul always has amazing designs and I found this
Thomas Paul Imperial Horse Linen Pillow – Java from www.designpublic.com (one of my favorite online stores).

How about these horse pillows from another favorite store of mine, BurkeDecor.com, and all by Thomas Paul again (I think he has a thing for horses).

• Horse Jute 18 in. Pillow – Thomas Paul
• Horse Jute 22 in. Pillow – Thomas Paul

And what really started it all, my writing this post that is, is this cover of the December 2010 cover of Western Living, a Vancouver based design magazine.  What a great way to add intrigue to design by adding the Moooi horse lamp, it caught my eye.

Check out his biography I found on his website, it’s pretty impressive!

His package designs for David Bowie, as well as for Joe Satriani, Diamanda Galás, Matmos, and Deee-Lite, have earned him an international reputation for his innovation in type and with original photographs, drawings, and collage. He has designed over 100 historic Bill Graham Presents rock and roll tour posters, including ones for The Rolling Stones, Patti Smith, REM, Bjork, U2, and Radiohead.   

Video

I found this video where Rex Ray explains how he started and glimpses into his process.

Book

I can’t wait to get my hands on his book Rex Ray: Art + Design and peruse slowly page by page the beautiful artwork.

Book Description: Rex Ray’s highly collectible artwork is coveted in design as well as art circles. His color-bursting, curvaceous art graces the walls of high-design hotels, world-class museums, and hip restaurants, yet remains, as acclaimed author Douglas Coupland puts it in his foreword, ‘unslick, but superslick at the same time.’ Abstract and handcrafted, with a retro-futuristic mid-century feel, Rex Ray’s meditations on fluid forms are a rare combination of sophistication and decorative appeal. The first monograph to survey his multi-faceted work in various media including paper cutouts, mixed-media collages, paintings, digital prints, and the highly admired graphic design and music packaging that launched his visual career Rex Ray is a veritable trove of his sleek yet playful aesthetic.

And this is just the beginning… there is so much more to explore…
