Portugal Knows Beauty



I know the design world is currently all about simple. minimalist. mid-century modern. But man oh man did my heart go pitty pat when I saw this photo of Portuguese beauty packaging. I love the elaborate details in these pieces. I'll take one of each.

Speaking of pretty, lots of new and pretty offers for Design Mom Readers in the Marketplace. Check it out.

Oh boy, am I ever envious of your Wallpaper subscription! I've wanted it for so long, but just can't bring myself to spend the $50 on a magazine. You may have given me just the right nudge though with this beautiful image!

I love it! Design is awesome because old becomes new again and again. Beauty is beauty!

Oh Design Mom, thank you as always, for the wonderful tips, advice, and exposure to different products, that you pass along to us each and every day. I learn so much! And thank you for the great giveaways. I'm sure that one day I'll actually win one. In the meantime, I'll enjoy perusing your blog daily.
