I love using the Instagram app on my iphone so I was excited to find out about the Printstagram

site over over at Abbey Goes Design Scouting. This site offers a selection of fun ways to enjoy

your filtered images. Here they are as Miniprints on heavy cardstock:

$12 for a set of 48

or as a pack of stickers {think-on the outside of Christmas card envelopes}:

$10 for 252

Or these fun Minibooks {think-as Coffee Table books for your Dollhouses!}:

$12 for 2 books containing 50 prints each 

And these Tinybooks even act as a magnet on your fridge!

$10 gets 3 books with 24 prints in each

And if you want to see all your images at one time, then this poster is for you: 

$25 with a black or white background

I think their prices are amazing which would allow great ideas for Christmas presents!

But, I have heard that shipping can take several weeks {they ship from Hong Kong}

 so I am placing my order early. To order yours, check out Printstagram, here.

While visiting Sonoma, we spent an afternoon at CornerStone Gardens. Our first stop was in

the eclectic shop of Zipper. This store is such a visual treat. Upon entering, you'll find an

 outstanding collection of goods curated by former NY fashion designer Steven Saden

and arts executive and writer Elizabeth Cashour. Zipper was voted one of the 10 best

 retailers in the world by Retailer Magazine and Assouline Publishing in Paris.

They have it all—fine art, jewelry, design and architecture books, and personal accessories all artfully merchandised amongst a collection of home furnishings and décor items.

I found a little goodie in the jewelry section. With this bracelet collection, you got to

choose your choice of leather, your quote, and your charm.

Elizabeth then put it all together for me and I got to leave with this special momento.

The Zipper credo: Objects are imbued with art and history. Make that connection,

 and the objects you choose will enrich your life.

Agreed!

It has been in the 60’s here this week. With a little nip in the air, it finally feels like Fall

is really close. Some of my flowers are still hanging on—but just barely. But, I don’t

 mind because I know that soon the turning leaves will paint my mountainsides.

Until then, let’s enjoy these beauties.

I don’t know anything about this installation other than it completely intrigues me.

I can't wait to kick around in the leaves. And when I do, I would love to win a big fat

 Sundance lottery and sport these winners.

 Oh Fall, I can't wait to hang out with you again....

Have you got Labor day plans? If not, how about throwing on your white pants for one last
 2011 romp, and pack your Boxsal full of some goodies.






Oh, and did you happen to see the design on the box?!
It's a Paint-by-Numbers!! 
 {And you know I am slightly obsessed with those beauties ;) }



I just love this idea!!



And if the super fun box wasn't enough, look at what all comes inside









And their fun website even gives you great ideas on what to pack for your little soirre.






Have a wonderful Labor Day!!
