Gotta Love: Zodiac Designs

I'm obsessed with Zodiac signs. Not to the point where I believe that horoscopes and your sign is a definitive and absolute prediction and description of your personality respectively but I think there is some validity to the belief system plus it's interesting.

So that's why I love finding well designed Zodiac themed objects and art. I have some recent discoveries that I want to share because they are AWESOME!

Lo and behold:

Stemware from Intoxicated Zodiac:

I think these wine glasses are such a great gift be it for a birthday or housewarming. I love that they come with a wine charm, too. At $16 a pop, it's a damn good deal. Shop for them here. I met the creator when she had a trunk show at my favorite NYC store, Henri Bendel, and I regret not buying the glasses then, so it's on my to do list. I wanted to get my new roommates, Rebecca and Emma, one for each of their signs as a roomie gift but of course I haven't gotten around to it yet.  

Original drawings from Rachel Beyer, known for her fabulous company and Etsy store - Camp Smartypants, this is her Gemini drawing and as a badass bonus she gives you a code you can add as a badge:

I also love her Cancer interpretation:

I'm seriously considering emailing my talented former co-worker and friend to see if she'll put together a combined poster/art work of her Gemini and Cancer drawings since I'm on the cusp of both signs. I love that I'm a Gemini and a Cancer and I think she could do a really cool drawing for me. The colors she's using would go perfect with my current bedroom color scheme and the artwork I already have.

If I do and she agrees, you'll definitely be seeing the end result here!

No Plans on Saturday? Go to the Show of Awesome!

My parents are in town from San Diego so I won't be awesome and attend the Show of Awesome but you should go!

The Show of Awesome is an event down in Portland, OR featuring the crafty, creative, and truly brilliant designers of homemade crafts. Put on with the support of the great Crafty Wonderful; it's an awesome event! My awesome creative peeps Slide Sideways and Camp Smartypants will both be there. Stop by and say hi for me!
