♥ / Feast (by iStockphoto)

A big thank you to iStockphoto for sponsoring this week’s RSS feed!

When you’re hungry for good, home-cooked food there’s no better place to go than Mom’s house. When you’re hungry for good, creative inspiration there’s no better place than Feast.

Feast is an online space where people go to feed their brains with thought-provoking and inspiring content and a mentor-protégé program lead by some of the most creative people around the world.

This month on Feast is a focus on the basic techniques of all creativity: copy, transform and combine. The conversation is being led by none other than Kirby Ferguson, of Everything’s a Remix fame.

Dig in!

    • Pasta Ti Amo

    If I had walls for artwork in my kitchen, I would order these typographic prints right now.

    Question for my readers…

    During an interview last week I was asked a question that had me stumped: “What are some tools for people who want to project a strong personal brand but can’t afford to hire a graphic designer?” Is there a tool out there? Did anyone ever write a basic DIY post on this that could be used somewhat universally? Any suggestions anyone? I find it an interesting problem!

    Want To Carry Tattly In Your Store?

    We here at Tattly HQ are excited to announce that Tattly is now officially taking Wholesale Orders! In the past few months we’ve tested the waters with a few selected stores and it proved to be a success. The store owners are happy with the product, as well the sales and have been coming back with more orders! Yay!

    If you run a store and would like to carry Tattly, then email us or fill out this form.

    Also, did you catch our smile-inducing 52 second Tattly spot, created by the folks of Made By Hand?

    Medicine Ice Lollipop

    Our daughter is having a fever and is refusing to take her medicine. So, last night, I pulled a parenting-mcgyver and created a medicine-ice-lollipop. I am happy to report that it totally worked!

    Next time I’ll add some natural food coloring to make it more look like an actual lollipop. In case you’re wondering what I used for the mold, it’s a Nespresso capsule. Is there such a thing as a lollipop mold? (Must ask Google…)

    UPDATE: Lollipop molds exist! YES!

    Too Late To Ship…

    Most of us are starting to realize that whatever we order will not arrive in time for the holidays! (#freakout) But don’t worry, we here at Tattly have you covered.

    Since we do not yet have Tattly gift certificates, we wanted to offer a last minute gifting option:

    Starting today, anyone who orders a Tattly Subscription Box will get an email with a printable ‘promissory note’ to give to the recipient. Tattly will still send out the box as soon as we can but you will now have something to give right away. The recipient will also receive a monthly shipment of surprise Tattlys for the next 6 months.

    So don’t worry if you forgot to order your gifts this year, Team Tattly is here to help!

    This Vilac Car Garage gets my thumbs up for being beautifully designed, made out of wood and for the fact that you can fold it away. Awesome, right?

    The Postiche Collection



    Earlier today, I opened an envelope that entailed “The Postiche Collection” – a Limited Edition catalogue designed by Hampus Jageland.

    I don’t think I have ever come across a more surprising and in some strange way fascinating imagery than this. Men with quilt-beards? It was created by Julian Wolkenstein and Paul Sharp.

    I still don’t fully understand it, but consider me intrigued.

    Megane



    This iPhone and iPad stand called Megane made me giggle. #adorable
