Flooded London 2030
Combining rising sea levels with fantastic concepts -
I often pass these areas of London and now get to imagine them as this.

the harbinger co.
This rather amusing and unconventional funny face ring is made by The Harbinger Co. in San Francisco.
little birds
These little birds by Studio MIKMIK are very sweet. I love that combination of brown and gold Gocco ink on greyboard. Grab one for a bargainous $12.
eugene and louise bakery
| I am definitely a fan of Eugene and Louise Bakery, especially their marzipan creations which are full of character. |
red telephone bag
Just so you're all aware, I have a phobia of phones. I fear and loathe them. Yet at the same time, I am obsessed with them as objects. It's not a great position to be in.
However, I am rather keen on this bag by Lunacy Clothing Boutique. I'm sure I'd be fine carrying it around as long as there's no possibility of it ringing.
play more notebook
Trapped in Suburbia Design came up with the idea of "Play More", a notebook which has double-sided pages - one side to write on and one featuring various ball designs. These become clearer once the pages have been crumpled into a ball...

notting hill tube station posters
My attention was brought to these amazing posters last week - sealed away in Notting Hill tube station in London, they have not been seen since the 1950s. It's a great time capsule, preserving the mid-century designs in great condition.
There are more photos here, posted by mikeyashworth.
champion papers
In 1968, Champion Papers used these simple and graphic packaging designs to illustrate print adverts. They look way ahead of their time, especially considering this was before generic supermarket own brands.
I love 'em. Except for the onions. But that's mostly due to being a bit creeped out by the idea of onions in a jar.
Via Packaging World.
paint tube
Brian Kerr has a great post on his blog about the London Underground map and imagery associated with it. I'm particularly fond of David Booth's 1986 poster for the Tate, which shows the map drawn with paint squeezed from tubes.
no barcode
I've just stumbled across a fantastic blog called No Barcode, written by Javier García and featuring mostly mid century modern design. It just reinforces everything I love about vintage packaging. Look at this for an example - the colours, the typography... perfection. Go visit!
