MINI meets Wool & the Gang

From the MINI (yes, like the car MINI) website:

This summer and beyond, a series of events in honor of the newest MINI model will celebrate breaking away from the ordinary, escaping into the unknown, and closing the gap between city lights and country charm.

For quite some time now, major corporations have tried to appropriate independent creative culture. I think this is a great example of a brand meeting indie creative culture where it’s at. A win for both sides.

Kudos MINI.

green plum design - british inspired screenprinted goods

in my house, anything brit-inspired is fair game for t-shirts, home decor, television shows, sports, etc… my husband is obsessed with all things across-the-pond. so i couldn’t help but swoon over these fun screen-printed home goods from green plum design.

ros, the crafter & designer, moved from britain 10 years ago to sunny california. she’s an interior designer and now sells her wares in her etsy shop.

seriously, i know you need a pillow or tote bag with a scooter or mini. click on over to go shopping!
