Vintage Beer Design Calendar + Weekend Links

Along with a fresh diary, a new year's calender is a solid Christmas present in my opinion. Last year's was Where's Wally themed, but this time I'm thinking something a little less taxing. Thanks to Soph of And Other Things for tweeting me this Illustrated Beer Can Wall Calender, it's doozy is going straight onto my wish-list.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend my friends!

Ella Masters' Bearded Men

I really dig these illustrations by blogger/illustrator extraordinaire Ella Masters. I've been following Ella's work for some years now in various capacities, in fact her work was some of the first I came across when I started my blog all those years ago. A little while back she released a series of Bearded Men in various forms over on her Etsy store. In total there is 15 hairy characters each lending their look to several different products, with each design coming in a limited run.

Worth checking out if you like a bit of rough. Ella Masters draws loads more than just the Bearded men, to see her extensive full collection visit her store here.

Thank you so much for all your comments on our engagement. It was definitely one of the most surreal feeling moments in my life and certainly one of the happiest.

Line Posters

LinePoster via Mizhenka

These tube system posters by LinePosters are the best thing I've seen on Etsy in ages, so much so that I'm definitely considering buying one. London would make sense but then again maybe buying another city that I haven't been to would give me the kick I need to actually visit there. They come in several different colours and there's tons more cities available. For under £20 they'd make a cracking gift without breaking the bank, score.

Anything interesting going on this weekend? Enjoy it, you've deserved it!
