Boo Raley Designs

While reading the latest issue of Step Inside Design, I discovered young designer Laura Victore. Laura is the assistant creative director to fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi. In addition to that fabulous position, she also runs
her own company, Boo Raley Designs. The piece I read talked about her love of great packaging, which I believe a lot of us can relate to. Her fortune cookie coin purses were born out of her studies of various packaging, including the simplistic design of the fortune cookie itself. The little suede leather pouch comes with its own fortune printed on a satin ribbon. Isn't that fun? There are three different fortunes to choose from, as well.

The Beautiful Project

And...I'm back! I hope you have all had a fabulous start to the new year. I have had The Beautiful Project bookmarked for a while now. All button sets and 2 card designs are currently on sale, so get to shopping! The birdcage thank you note is perfect for all those holiday thank yous that you need to write. Or perhaps you want to send a little off color humor in the new year, which the Even Your Farts Are Cute card would be perfect for. I love the squirrely nuts to thirty card, as well as the cute hello, friend card. Wishing you all the best in 2007!!

Note: Bidding began today in the Kim Family Benefit Auction and will run through January 7th.
