Shops to Bookmark Immediately: "M" Edition

Marvelous merchants that motivate me (and my money) massively:

1. Muhs Home

So far, it's my favorite find of 2012. (You know, all 16 days of it.)

2. Mooch

Come on. It's called "Mooch." That's worth a click alone (as does their 16p Stamp Rug).

3. Monkey Business

Fun, affordable finds that at first feel familiar, but upon closer inspection, are actually pretty unique (theirs is the "Geppeto" pencil sharpener above, second from the left).

4. Mojoo

Because shops from Denmark never let us down, you know?

5 Shops You Should Not Ignore

Let's talk cool shops. (Because we haven't talked cool shops in a while, now have we?) Here are a few of my recent finds.

1. The Ghostly Store:

Just cool and chic. Everything is a little masculine, a little grey, white, or black with clean lines, and I dig that.

2. Daniel Emma:

Wish this one was bigger! A few choice office-y products that would look awesome on my desk (and yours, whatever works).

3. Our Shop:

The store end of "Our WorkShop" from London-based graphic designers Pui Lee and Gemma Stanton, so it offers the overall cuteness that certain designers can easily deliver up.

4. Bookbinders Design:

Just go and see if this doesn't make you squeal.

5. ODLCO:

Another small collection, but nicely curated. They even sell handmade balloons. (Handmade balloons!)

5 Shops to Bookmark Immediately

1. Analogue Life

Contemporary Japanese housewares a-go-go. Very pretty stuff.

2. Farmer's Table

More proof that Japan is always rad: Lovely kitchenwares offered by a Tokyo-based shop.

3. Dunes and Duchess

I really like the crazy-cool ceramic bodies of these candelabras and lamp bases.

4. Invite.L

Old-school-ish stationery, chic little pouch-y things, and other kinds of coolness that we all dig.

5. Indie Cases

New designs for iPhone 4 cases debut each week on this smart site. Check it.
