Pom Love









Dainty, funky, chic, playful, modern and lots more. Poms add warmth and light to any room. They give a punch to parties. They are divine at weddings. Outside, hanging from trees, they are simply lovely.

Enough with the showers bring on the flowers!

99% Conference









When ideas do happen, it is not by accident. What separates creative people who make their ideas happen from the constant dreamers? Perhaps we all have an obligation to show our ideas some respect. Behance is partnering with Cool Hunting to host “99%.” A conference that focuses less on inspiration, and more on how idea generation and organization come together to make ideas happen.

On April 16 and 17, Behance will host its 99% Conference in New York, named for a maxim of inventor Thomas Edison, who famously quipped, “Genius is one percent ipsiration and 99 percent perspiration.” All speakers invited to speak at 99% have a track record of making bold ideas happen again and again — often times against the grain or despite the status quo. Whether it is Michael Bierut, Seth Godin, or Cheryl Dorsey — they all have best practices to share on leading ideas to fruition.

Tickets are $290 for non-profit organizations. For more information, please visit http://www.the99percent.com
