Heading to IKEA USA to buy a cartful of critters for the Toys for Tots holiday drive has become an annual tradition. Each IKEA animal sold benefits UNICEF & other children's charities. Great way to make your charity dollars go further. Hope they find good homes!

I tried not reading this tongue story. But curiosity got the best of me. http://wapo.st/2fLcDe8

Researchers made a giant, 3D-printed cat tongue model to reveal the refined mechanics behind all that grooming.

Remember to today for Small Business Saturday. You can find psychedelic bear prints and so much more on Etsy today.

Our own Baby G needs to learn the basics, like animal recognition. So we created a collection of fun animal prints to make sure he knows the difference between a dinosaur and a moose.

When Baby G joined the GDL Studio family, he clearly needed to learn about animals. We created prints of iconic critter outlines filled with fun, colorful patterns to help him learn. Each animal is hand drawn and filled with specially-created patterns and everything is printed on a high-end photo pr...

We're excited about Small Business Saturday tomorrow. We are restocked with old favorites and some new items too. Be sure to check us out tomorrow along with the many other cool shops across the Etsy universe.

We wanted to make sure Baby G knew he lived in a wide, wonderful country -- so we created this colorful U.S. map for him to stare at. The newest addition to the GDL Studio family arrived a few weeks before the original map was finished, but he didnt seem to mind. He likes to stare at the colorful ju...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Things have been a bit hectic over the past year, and we've been quiet lately because of the arrival of Baby G to the GDL Studio family. We are thankful for many things this year, but having a healthy baby boy is at the top of our list.

His arrival inspired us to branch out into new designs to welcome him to the world. We've been exploring colored pencil designs (see our new colorful logo) and the animal world. In the coming days, we will share some of the prints now hanging on his walls.

But today, we wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Q, X, and W have at long last released from Turkey’s moldy alphabet prison. (OK, we didn’t know they were incarcerated, but we are glad to see them out.) We couldn’t make this stuff up. http://bit.ly/1gZe33U

Hey California Followers (and indie bookstore lovers everywhere.)

San Francisco's Adobe Books is about to wrap up an indiegogo fundraising campaign to help keep their doors open. They are super close to reaching their goal.

We have a soft spot for indie bookstores, so we are rooting for them and supporting them. The campaign expires on Friday, so if you can spare a few bucks, consider supporting Adobe Books too.

Thanks!

Give new life to an old bookshop.
