If you’re anything like me, you check Helen Dardik’s delightful blog at least once a week. It’s a window into a world of innocence, nature and aesthetic form. Dardik’s charmingly cluttered style lights up even the most mundane of objects – such as her water bottle and now her ‘Animal Power’ tote bag.

At just US$9.99 plus shipping from Blue Q, I’ll be ordering a few of these for myself and for my ever handy gift bag, which means I always have a present on hand for birthdays which have slipped my mind until the last minute. These would make cute swimming or library bags for the kids too.

I love you Helen Dardik – making me happy is what you do best! Also check out our other articles featuring Dardik: ABC posters and design blogs.
