Hola! Just wanted to say a quick hello as we are just back from a wonderful week in Mexico. So many new and great things launched this week in the blog & design world that I just wanted to share before taking my last day of vacation to recoup and settle back in…Congrats to all those who launched these great sites this week. I’ve also updated the header for Fall (which isn’t really very Fall-looking) but inspired by the vibrant colors of Mexico. Be back on Monday!

The new Design*Sponge site…looks AMAZING! With a new face lift, url, and special additional sections and contributors, Design*Sponge is better than ever (if that was even possible!) Congrats Grace!

Poppytalk Handmade…Jan of Poppytalk recently launched her new Poppytalk Handmade shop! The monthly online street market is a new place to showcase, buy and sell handmade goods of emerging design talent from around the world. Congrats Jan!

ReForm School online shop…the always cool and fun Billie & Tootie of the LA shop Reform School opened an online version of their awesome shop. The ReForm School online shop carries a great mix of home & personal accessories, art, and handmade items…many of which with eco-friendly focuses. The site design is also REALLY cool (designed by Also Design who also designed the new D*S site). Congrats guys!
