Came across this book at Book by it's Cover. It features more than 700 patterns and can definitely offer some inspiration if you are into the subject!
Love the design of these high end toys created by Ducobi.
Some info about Ducobi: "Ducobi is a company of talented designers and strategic-thinking developers from Korea, Japan and the U.S.A. Our mission is to create designer toys for the true toy collectors of the world."
Came across this creative team at Josh Spear's blog.
This is really funny. The owner of Etsy shop xmoonbloom crochets hats for pets!
She also creates very nice cuddly animals by the way...
This campaign is quite funny and might be inspiring for something you do in the future... Milk brand Meiji worked with McCann to create this ad campaign:

Like this funny campaign for Chiquita bananas, by DJ Neff! Includes viral stickers on the bananas themselves, but also video, sticker creator and game... Read everything about it here on DesignBoom.

You know I'm a great fan of Etsy's, can roam around the site for hours and hours...
PicClick, also working with eBay, now introduced a new way to browse through all the handmade items Etsy offers. It is way more visual and less text. You can view all the posted articles, or look trough them by category.
According to PicClick, people can sift through content a lot quicker on the web if you use visuals in stead of text. Totally agree, although looking at a huge amount of pictures also gets boring after a while (but text even more).
The PicClick Etsy looks like this:
Can imagine that a lot of other sites are going to be inspired by this new way of browsing. Who needs all the text websites offer us anyway? Ok, for a news oriented website text might be really necessary, although you see even them moving to more image and video content... As far as Etsy goes, it enhances the user experience a lot. Maybe the search results will look like this too in the future.
One disadvantage: there is still a lot of junk items in the overview. What would really be great is if the editors, or specific groups (maybe my own?), would be able to feature stuff up on a tool/page like this...
Spotted articles inspiring me to feature this at Creativity-Online.com and Mashable.com.
Putting all your info up on different social media platform, is not always a smart thing to do... Recently some not so very kind people decided to break into my house - very annoying! I especially don't mention stuff like "I left home just now" on Twitter or Facebook, but a lot of people do. And robbers are of course very happy with the info you provide them with. Especially if you have a public profile, they can easily find out where and when they should be at a place.
The platform PleaseRobMe.com makes use of this info, to provide people with insights into what the consequences are of posting 'delicate' information like the above... It seems to have started out in a blink, but they would like to continue with a professional organisation, so they say: "We want to offer this website to a professional foundation, agency or company that focuses on raising awareness, helping people understand and provide answers to online privacy related issues."

Can't help it, but Anne Julie Aubry's art always inspires me. She has some new work up on her Etsy shop:
