Every awesome female needs some amazing stationery and the designer behind Girl of All Work has provided just that. I spotted her items via Creature Comforts, and I totally loved it. I love that she applies embroidery design and quirky illustrations to her items.

From now I decided to accumulate all the things that inspire me on one weekly post, because there is too many things that inspire and I refuse to let any out. This week my inspirations include two awesome illustrators, Lynn from Jinjerup & Allison from Bang Bang Your Thread, found via Pikaland. I love both their quirky & fun illustrations. Check them out!

back on track…

tamarindocards

I apologize for my small hiatus, I’ve been busy with work & some much needed family holidays but now i’m back on track. After so much brainstorming I decided to name my new stationery online shop “tamarindo paper co.”. I really wanted to use Doña Ana, but come to find out, Doña Ana is one of the many counties in New Mexico, so needless to say, everything from a the county community college to a real estate business has that name. I’m still keeping the name for my blog, but i’m just giving my business a different name. In case you didn’t know, tamarindo is a sweet, tropical fruit common in Latin America that is commonly consumed as a juice, which is so, so good. I also finally decided to officially open my etsy store in mid-December with a few stationery items & my 2010 desk calendar, so stay tuned!

Les pido disculpas por mi breve ausencia, es que he estado ocupado con el trabajo y los días festivos con mi familia. Pero ya estoy de nuevo añadiendole los últimos toques a mi calendario del 2010. Decidí tambien cambiarle el nombre de mi tienda de papelería a Tamarindo Paper Co. en vez de Doña Ana. Al parecer en el estado de New Mexico hay un condado que se llama tambien Doña Ana, y como podrán imaginar todas las oficinas de gobierno y hasta una empresa de bienes raíces tienen el nombre de Doña Ana. Tambien decidí por fin abrir mi tienda etsy a mediados del mes de Diciembre, asi que esten pendiente!

One of my favorite stationery designers is Mrs. Ivana from Love Ardently (who happened to also graduate from the same fabulous design department that I graduated from, UCO) just launched her etsy shop with custom invitations & stationery. I love her very simple, classic & colorful style. She also does really beautiful custom monograms.

Una de mis diseñadora favoritas, que a la vez se gradúo de la misma universidad mia, UCO,  es la dulce Ivana de Love Ardently. Ivana acaba de abrir su tienda Etsy donde ella ofrece sus diseños únicos en invitaciones y otros artículos de papelería. Me encanta su estilo tan simple y clásico con colores brillantes. Ella también diseña monogramas para invitaciones de bodas.

I just love Papaya Art! They have this really unique design mixture of bold colors, collage blends & international flare that is hard to find nowadays in the stationery market. You should totally check out their product line, I wanted to buy the whole store! I love especially their name, since papaya is one of my favorite fruits from back home in Panama (especially as a shake).

¡Me encanta Papaya Art! Ellos tienen una mezcla única de colores brillantes, arte de colaje y temas internacionales que es muy difícil encontrar en el mercado de papelería. Deberian de visitar su tienda y ver su colección inmensa de productos, en lo personal yo queria comprarme la tienda entera! Me encanta especialmente su nombre, ya que la papaya es una de mis frutas favoritas en Panamá (especialmente en batido).
