• Subtle Patterns is bound to be a lifesaver when you need a texture for a design project. Best of all, they’re FREE!

• Beloved interiors mag Domino is making a comeback as a special edition issue this Fall but rumor has it that none of the original team will be involved.

• Designers & is a simple tool that helps designers find and connect with printers and developers. What a great idea!

• My super talented friend Amelia Arsenic has launched her Black Heart collection of jewelry just in time for Valentine’s Day!

• In case you were wondering, these were the models for the famed American Gothic painting.

• Smashing Magazine rounds up the WordPress theme trends of 2012.

• Shrinkle just did an epic recap of our LA getaway from, oh, 8 months ago! My favorite part was when she mentioned the following:

I should note that Nubby has a master memory. Being that these pics are 8 months old, I texted Gala for help with names/captions. Try as we might, neither of us could remember a damn thing. So I texted Nubby, and she responded within seconds, “Restaurant was Gjelina, dog was Nyxie.” Who remembers the name/spelling of a restaurant called Gjelina after eating there just once, 8 months ago? NUBBY, that’s who! I would have been like “Umm the restaurant was called Angelina Jolie, and the dog’s name was Nicholas.”

• Krissy goes above and beyond, gathering up the best collection of neon images out there.

• You can make these adorable valentine clip art cards designed for the Martha Stewart Crafts blog!

• The bright, poppy colors on these posters are really inspiring me at the moment.

• General Mills is bringing back retro 80s designs for many of its cereal boxes for a limited time at Target.

      Mary Bee: I get really compulsive about spelling. I’m not perfect but I won a few spelling bees during my school days. And Nyxie is such a unique beauty, how could I forget?? :)

    Thanks for the link, Nubby! :)

    I’m so torn on the news about Domino. On the one hand, Yay! But if it’s just a re-hash of what we’ve seen sans the awesomeness of the original team… it’s a bit bittersweet.

    Part of me wants to dash out and buy Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch for no other reason than nostalgia. Those boxes bring back such fond memories.

    xo.

      Krissy: I still can’t believe that Domino was shuttered in the first place, it was one of the most relatable, well-done home decor magazines out there. I had high hopes for the special issue but after reading the news that’s come out since, it’s not sounding so promising. The original team is what made it so unique and refreshing in the first place.
