So many goodies on the web this week! Here are a few faves:

1. One of my favorite Canadian mags, OCW, just launched another issue! Whee!
2. Did you catch Little Paper Plane’s large format print release this week? The only thing better than art is massive art.
3. Hammocks & High Tea’s newest Hammam tote is begging to take a ride on my shoulder.
4. In case you missed my Tweet, I Wish This Was is by far the most compelling neighborhood installation I’ve seen this year. [Thanks for the tip, Etsy!]
5. Matt Moore’s latest gallery work is insanely graphic, bold and colorful. Plus awesome.
6. Vintage Seekers sells airstreams online? Who knew?

p.s. I’m speaking at Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs in San Fran today and tomorrow. Come say hello!

Isn’t this bow pouch the sweetest little travel accessory ever?

Am really loving this fine art photograph from an English Etsy seller. White space is the best invention ever.

I wrote about our guest bedroom on HGTV.com last week, but wanted to share the source list for those of you craving a monochromatic haven of your own!

As most of you know, Ive been in the midst of a serious renovation, and although the worst is over, I’ve been feeling less than motivated to share the ugliness with you. So how about some prettiness? This, friends, is where I work daily.

Source list after the jump!…

UPDATE: WOWZA! We have a winner after just 17 minutes. That’s gotta be a record or something, right? Congratulations, Jill. I stayed in Room 309 on my very first ACE Hotel visit. Please email me to coordinate your winnings!!!

It’s time for my creativity course to begin tonight (SO excited!), and I have a special surprise for you friends. One of the reasons I chose the lovely city of Portland to host our first class is because the art/design community is so giving, creative and supportive of one another. It’s exactly the reason I love my little pocket of the Internet (you!) and I wanted to share a small part of my sweet readers.

I generally don’t run giveaways, but a few of my favorite Portland creatives have banded together to create the most glorious goodie bags for my students, and I want to share a bit of that talent with you. Ready to see a sneak peek of the bags (and learn how to win one for yourself?!)? Behold, the contents of this amazing bag:

1. Wreath Notecards, Tokketok Press
2. Gem Notecard Gift Pack, Egg Press
3. Flower Tea Towel, AnnaJoyce
4. Printed Tea Towel, Zanna Textiles
5. Morse Code Necklace, COATT
6. Notecard Pack, Satsuma Press
7. Custom Ceramic Ornaments, Jason Russell Ceramics
8. Single Card Leather Case, Sara Barner
9. Wish Tiles, Puji Studio
10. Letterpress Stationery, Studio Olivine
11. Letterpress Cards, Fortress Letterpress
12. Isosceles Necklace, Stone+Honey
13. Spiked Hoops, Alisha Louise
14. The Sealines Notebook, Jill Bliss
15. Land Bear Cotton Tote, Buy Olympia
16. Amethyst Drop Necklace, BLTN

Amazing, right? That’s a serious retail value right there — and a killer gift bag. HUGE thanks to my local PDX talent.

And now, for the fun! Win the above gift bag by guessing my very first room number at ACE Hotel in the comment section below. Ready, set… GO!

Good luck.

UPDATE: THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

Crouse Hinds spotlights! They’re super pricey online, so I’m keeping an eye out at the flea markets. FUN FACT: Crouse was only 25 when he started the company in 1894. Insanity!
