I showed off Jezze's sweet screenprinted ceramic mugs yesterday, but I just couldn't resist highlighting her collection of blockprinted cotton tapes today. So clever and cheerful!
I'd love to get my hands on some of these for little projects around the house -- they'd add a flash of color and a bit of playful pattern when used to trim up some throw pillows, edge a pair of curtains, add a finishing touch to a set of towels ... the possibilities seem endless. And for some applications, you might not even need to sew. I could definitely have some fun with a few rolls and a hot-glue gun, for instance.
What would you use these for?

The tapes are $5.50 to $7 per meter (39 inches) right here.

Etsy Find of the Day: Skinny laMinx Mug Tea Towels
I'm so charmed by these sweet vintage-mug-print tea towels, available in raspberry, gooseberry, and blueberry, $11 each from Etsy seller Skinny laMinx.
(By the way, if you're not familiar with her, Skinny laMinx is multitalented Cape Town, South Africa illustrator, blogger, and designer extraordinaire Heather Moore. In addition to her gorgeous textile designs, Moore is the woman behind the Skinny laMinx blog and the Elle Decoration SA blog, both of which I highly recommend checking out. I love seeing what's going on with design in different parts of the world, and South Africa seems particularly rich in wonderful English-language design blogs, including both of Moore's as well as three other faves of mine, Freshly Found, Smoke and Ochre, and Spray Glue.)
See all of the offerings in Skinny laMinx's Etsy shop right here.
