Why not while away the days of summer while needlepointing a new journal? Add your own monogram to this book’s splashy cover – a portion of the cover has been punched with holes for you to fill in with the included coordinating thread. The product’s designer, Amy Holbrook, decided to launch a contemporary needlepoint concept while pursuing her MBA at Columbia, and her patterns reflect her favorite world cities: Marrakech, Monte Carlo, Rio and Rome. An easy-to-read instruction insert delineates the ins and outs of needlepoint, as well as techniques for creating an especially crafty monogram.

Be thrifty with your threads and snag this item for a discounted $16! Perfect for the style-conscious grandparent or Stitch ‘n Bitch enthusiast.

A fresh set of cards from Canadian collective, The Regional Assembly of Text, offers a whole new level of customization to your greeting.  For the lovely ladies (or at least those who like to don their duds!), this shoe store scene (second from left) gives a glimpse of the bevy of options that the modern woman requires.  Just spin the wheel and reveal multiple shoes that align with your mood!  From bossy red pumps to fuzzy bunny slippers, this card’s analog accessibility puts the power in your hands.

Everyone is dying to know just what’s going on inside a man’s head.  Why not decide the answer yourself?  Pick between peanuts, pilsner, pin-ups and playoffs to shed light on this dude’s psyche (third from left).

Also in the set:

• A throwback library card meets birthday note (left)!  The re-gifting potential is self-evident, but your friends will rather let this item go overdue and keep it all to themselves.
• Speaking of statements with staying power, the Assembly is also offering a smashing “Birthday Boy” and “Birthday Girl” design with a pin as party favor (right)!  Visit PH today and snag a few of these clips for your friends’ next celebration.

This mini size agenda is able to pack a huge schedule.
At-a-glance month and week pages bordered with vibrant trim will keep your eyes coming back for more.  Not only will it keep you organized daily but also socially with features such as international dialing codes, international holidays, an address book, note pages and even perforated note pages just in case you want to give someone a little ‘hello.’ The zip pocket cover is so cute, a very awesome feature that allows the creativity of your own design or various covers if you’d like and also protects the contents from inclement weather.  You can even display pictures or keep little notes from loved ones or Chinese fortune cookies!
All in all, this agenda has it all.

Pick one up at our shop location, 3306 S. Shepherd, Houston TX or on our webstore, www.phdesignshop-store.com.

We look forward to seeing you!
