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!
