A Good Place to Start

Today’s inspiration: I love a good shopping bag design. I find them very inspirational. I especially love it when companies mix it up for the holidays, come up with a entire holiday “theme” with in-store graphics, merchandise and so forth.

Lately I loving textiles and patterns with a Scandinavian flavor – like this Pottery Barn shopping bag I picked up Wednesday. (Birds also seem to be a huge design element these days – I see them everywhere in crafts and design pieces. Have you noticed?). These Scandinavian patterns and will probably lead to more inspirational entries from me as I research and doodle further. I don’t know where its heading (card designs? A onesie for Addie? Wrapping paper?) but I’ll let you know where it leads.
