One fancy party coming up

August 27th, 2009 | typography, general, design | No Comments »

My husband was sweet enough to make this rad (and hilarious) collage for the invitation my upcoming 30th birthday party.  Yes, the big 3-0.  Now you know.   I thought it’d be fun to dress up and have a cocktail party (still working out the details).  So “fancy” is the loose theme, however people choose to interpret that…

Etsy vintage picks: Let me spell it out for you

June 30th, 2009 | food, typography, vintage, etsy, design | No Comments »

I have always found it amusing when a bowl or glass is labeled for a specific item like “chips” or “whiskey”.  I generally shy away from buying things with such labels because I feel restricted by my own desire to follow the label’s specifications to only use this bowl for chips or that glass for whiskey.

That being said, I still absolutely love these types of containers- mostly for the typography, whether it be goofy or tasteful.

I Can Be Your Dream

February 25th, 2009 | typography, print, design | 1 Comment »

This is something I’ve meant to document for a while.  Our extremely talented friend River Jukes-Hudson (at Way Shape Form) sent this zine to us around Christmas time.  It’s a documentation of the “accidental poetry” of 21 women on a Russian singles website who are seeking friendship/marriage with foreign men.   It was fascinating to read, and is beautifully composed.  Excellent idea River (and Renée)…

The Kiowa Five Pochoir Prints 1929

September 20th, 2008 | typography, print, design | No Comments »

I am so amazed that these prints are from five different artists (Spencer Asah, Jack Hokeah, Stephen Mopope, Monroe Tsatoke, Lois Smoky, and James Auchiah)- the style seems so consistant.  To see more prints go to the original post on BibliOdyssey.
