One of my favorite card shops, Hello!Lucky, is celebrating the new year with some new changes. The vintage-inspired letterpress stationery company has a new website , which is easier to navigate and looks darn lovely, and it's also introducing digital printing. Why digital printing? Well, for one thing, it's affordable (more important than ever in 2009), and digital printing also allows customers to choose expedited service. And good news: the quality of the cards is comparable to custom letterpress production.

The Who Tall Are You? Mirror ($85) may not be the best mirror for applying makeup, but it compensates for its obscured surface by telling you how much fabulously taller or shorter you are than 120 celebrities, including Hulk Hogan, Sandra Bullock, and Ben Stiller. Do you find it cute and fun, or a waste of your wall space?
Su Casa member Kimpossible responded to my January Su Casa Challenge and posted photos of a bright corner in her home that holds special significance for her family.
She writes, "This is one of my favorite spots in our home. It's a sideboard that houses games, but it's the map above and bowls on top of it that make it my favorite. The map is mounted on foam core so we can add pins to it to mark all the places we've been to as a family. The bowls are souvenirs from the places we visit. The little blue bird on the cabinet used to belong to my hubby's grandmother. I love this spot because it brings back such wonderful memories of our vacations."
I love this interactive use of a map in a home! And I admire Kimpossible's artful arrangements of these precious souvenirs and inherited accents. Just lovely.

No matter how diligent I am about trying to keep my bathroom shelves clutter-free, they still seem to eventually get overrun by prescription medications that have a pill or two left in the bottom of the bottle. It's definitely a no-no to keep prescription medications sitting around your home, especially if they're past their expiration date.
