New Shop!

I was so excited to get an email the other day from Jaime informing me of a new shop she recently opened up. Not only can you purchase her artwork (which I’ve featured many times here on Mixed Plate), but you can also get cozy with her neck warmers, scarves and cowls. This, of course, is the perfect alternative to store-bought versions. Check out a few of my favorites from modyarn

Tsk, Tsk…

In light of my last post regarding love and feelings and all, I thought it would be fun to throw these stationery designs by Terri Taylor Design into the mix. Of course, they aren’t warm and fuzzy, but they do create balance in the world, don’t you think?

Love.

Have you ever told someone that you “love them more than…”? Or maybe you’ve gone back and forth with the old “I love you more.” bit. I have. In fact, I’ve been in more of a romantical mood recently and have been drawn to more lovey-dovey than normal. Perhaps it’s all the Valentine’s Day love-themed items I’ve been researching for Mixed Plate. On the inside, I am a true die-hard, hopeless romantic. Are you? Check out Paperwhite Studio‘s site, I Love You More Than Blank for some sweetness and some funny on what people say they love their significant others more than.

Can’t Stop Listening To This…

And I know it isn’t brand new or anything, but it’s been on repeat recently along with other Jason Schwartzman music (his newest album just came out yesterday). Check the video with footage of Mark Gonzales
