Google Envelopes

Not in the works yet, but this neat concept Google Map Envelopes designed by Rahul Mahtani & Yofred Molk, would be sweet to send out. If you look close in the images above you can see that you are able to track where you are sending your letter from and its destination all through g-mail -- how cool! (via Yanko Design)


Since the above Envelopes aren't quite a reality yet, ( I guess you could custom make your own) here are a few options that still have that long distance connection.



Check out the website -- Map Envelope that prints mailing envelopes lined with your selected location.


and these Stitching Postcards available at Uncommon Goods.

Rifle Custom Invitation

Uh-mazing! Did you see the invitation that Anna from Rifle custom made? The idea of embroidering and making them handmade then printing them is pure genius.

Walk to 40 Weeks...

I am intrigued by these maternity photographic series by Ryan Marshall. What a great way to tell a story and keep record! See more photos here and another series here.

Greens + Glass

There is something universally beautiful about greens behind glass.

Octopus Pillows

Playful, bold, and quirky Octopus pillows. What do you think?

Sponsor Highlight : Dace

I am happy to introduce Black Eiffel sponsor Dace. I've previously mentioned them here, but wanted to let you know about their Spring collection and also their current promotion which is a free Dace illustration by Dallas Shaw with purchase. Again they've done such a great job with their photograph and styling -- love.




If you would like to become a Black Eiffel sponsor, email : blackeiffel@gmail.com for rates and more information.

Judy Kaufmann

Enjoyed seeing these etsy prints by Judy Kaufmann from Barcelona. Aren't they graphic and lovely?

Linnea's Lights

I received a Linnea's Lights candle in the mail the other day, and not only is the packaging beautiful, (including a sweet little matchbox under the lid) but the smell and way these candles burn is wonderful. Find them at these retailers. Next time I want to try Cassis, Magnolia, or Currant Rouge can't decide...

Bonus -- during the month of April Linnea's Lights is donating 10% of proceeds to Kyle's Treehouse for Autism awareness.

Stella McCartney for Gap

Here are my favorite looks from the new Stella McCartney for Gap Kids collection. A few others I wanted to add -- but they sold out way too quick!

Karin Nussbaumer

Today I am very inspired by the photographs by Karin Nussbaumer. I love how she creates stories within her work and portfolio. Check out the rest of her lovely work here. Don't these photos just scream Spring?
