Poketo (pronounced poh-KEH-toe) is where art meets everyday form and function.  Started by husband and wife team Ted Vadakan and Angie Myung, this adorable little shop (both online and now brick and mortar) is just the place to find the cutest gifts, accessories, stationary, and fun home items.  It's like all of your favorite gallery and museum shops all rolled into one perfect shop.

I discovered Poketo on a buying trip for work a few months back and am excited to see that their online store popularity has garnered the interest of so many that they finally opened a retail shop in Downtown, LA.  I can't believe I didn't know about this sooner and will definitely be paying a visit soon.

how cute are all of these?!

Above are some of my recent favorites while browsing the shop - there's tons more where this came from :)

I've spotlighted the Poketo team as "Sunny People" because of their vibrant spirit and ability to create a fun and lively atmosphere that breathes art and life.  It's not often that people grow organically like they have and it's refreshing to see their work come to fruition.  Keep inspiring us Poketo!

Here's a video of their story :)
