misosouper, a shopping blog

Don’t lie:  you snorted a little when you saw this poor dude, gripping a pen in his mouth as he poops paper clips.

I carry a stack of Moo cards around, both for Misosouper and for my AWESOME NEW PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS that I can’t stop shouting about.  (Seriously–if you’re in Orlando or its environs, I’ll make you look good.)

Until recently, the cards just rattled around Ziplocked in my purse.  Professional?  You’re looking at her.  (In my defense, I just started wearing real clothes again.  And showering.  And sleeping more than 3 hours a night.  And if a new baby weren’t project enough, in the midst of this I began the aforementioned AWESOME NEW BUSINESS.)

These Moo card holders by Dear Sukie are the tops.  Made from sunny papers sealed tight in plastic, my new Moo case creates the mirage that if you hire me, that I can actually show up and accomplish something.

Another great post from TheFind.  I adore Hable Construction–we have a HC Christmas every year when we hang the stockings and lay the tree skirt they made for us–so I’m thrilled to be able to decorate new baby’s room with their designs.

I have been a fan of Hable Construction since its inception. Founded by a couple of Texan born design savvy sisters the textile design company was named after their great grandfather’s twentieth century road construction business, Hable Construction.

The Hable Construction of today manufactures hand silk screened canvas textiles created by skilled artisans in their New England factory. Using traditional screen printing methods the result is a collection of modern eye-catching products such as sturdy cotton canvas totes, storage containers, and many other items for use throughout the house. All of the products are of utilitarian function and made unique with Hable Construction’s charming modern graphic textiles. On their website you’ll find everything from gardening gloves, to aprons, coasters, storage totes, picture frames, as well as a range of canvas totes. I’ve been on the hunt for some storage vessels for my daughter’s playroom as well as some containers for corralling stray magazines in the study and have got my eye on the storage bushels and storage boxes that will be the perfect solution for my summer organization projects.

Technically, this vessel was designed by Umbra to be a trash can; but I’m thinking it would make the most beautiful toy bin I’ve ever seen.

In elementary school, there was a kid whose lunch was packed solely in wax paper.  His sandwich–turkey on white, with mayo, mustard, and lettuce, natch–crinkled happily as it was unwrapped.

Needless to say, all of us–the PB&Js, the bolognas, the mystery meats borne of the cafeteria–looked on with envy.

Here’s to you, GP:  in the memory of our many lunches together, may I always strive to put lettuce on my kid’s beautifully wrapped sandwich.
