Budget Buys: Wee Gallery Stationary

At my first job out of college, I worked as a pattern designer for women’s and children’s footwear. I think I must have churned out hundreds of patterns a year, and of that total, a good majority of those were filled with animals and insects . Kids love these little guys, as do parents, so you can imagine my delight when I stumbled upon Wee Gallery‘s sample sale on One Kings Lane today. Surya Sajnani’s lino cut style is very trend forward and quite reminiscent of Hugo Guinness and Perla Anne‘s illustrations. The cards are half off, and perfect for framing or for just letting someone know they’re special.

Magasin Totale City Color Palettes

This particular feature is a bit of a double whammy. Not only are these Magasin Totale photos for sale One Kings Lane today, the graphic layouts are so beautiful and geometric that I thought adding color palettes were a creative must. If you ask any artist, inspiration lies in every corner and crevice of society. Something so simple as an abandoned stairwell or a broken wire can provide the missing piece to a creative puzzle. The Swing Set, Rusty Outlet and Bouncy Balls are by Joe Delano and The Stairwell is by Jeremy Harris. Both masters of mystifying the mundane.

Ethnic Geometric Sale at C of C

It’s time for winter sales and Creatures of Comfort, one of Pattern Pulp’s favorite LA based boutiques (with a killer web shop), is no exception. There are so many low priced patterned deals to check out, we thought we’d highlight these two ethnic geometric finds to get you perusing. Henrik Vibskov’s Bolivia blanket caught our eye in a cozy, vibrant kind of way. Osei Duro’s Duro Stair tunic, which was inspired by West African textiles, shares a similar layout and palette. You can use the blanket as a poncho and pair together for a modern day twin set or just use it as a fancy snuggie during these cold winter days.

Sotto le Lune Sample Sale

After visiting the gift show last week, it seems safe to say that we’ll be seeing a lot more of bohemian lux in the year to come. Restoration Hardware has already picked up on this trend, as has Jonathan Adler, and of course John Derian and Anthropologie are partially responsible for our modernized rustic desires. These pillows, by Sotto le Lune embody this trend to a T with the use of linen, subtly intricate beading and soft natural tones. Luckily, for the pillow hunters out there, this collection, designed by Wendy Hall and her interior-designer daughter, Gemeli Hager, just went on sale on One Kings Lane. These pillows are beautiful, so if you’re looking to be inspired, or just see what’s brewing in New Zealand home goods, check it out!
