this saturday and sunday is the 7th annual book arts festival at mcba. lots of lovely handmade books, journals, prints and papers. perfect for stocking up on holiday presents!
oh my. i came across the gorgeous jewelry of luxe deluxe last week and actually felt my knees go weak. so very weak, in fact, that i sent a link to my husband (who i had told never to bother with jewelry for me). and being the fantastic, wonderful person that he is, he bought me three (yes! three!) necklaces. i know, i know. i am too lucky.
anyways, luxe deluxe’s creator, adrienne morikawa, is based in edinburgh and mixes lovely vintage bits with new materials. each piece is handmade and even more beautiful in person. you can purchase via the luxe deluxe site or etsy.
amy armato of armato design & press has bunches of delightful letterpressed cards for the holidays and everyday. she does custom letterpress, will be at no coast craft-o-rama in december and is a truly great person too (really, i know these things, i went to college with her). the portable mistletoe card (above) is so much fun. just imagine the possibilities!
Some words of wisdom from Ira Glass.

I’m a bit late to this one, but I would have loved to get one of these papers. Such a cool idea. You can see the whole paper here
Makr who handcrafts awesome leather wallets (including this one which I recently gifted to my boy) just released some new limited run totes and duffel bags. The craftsmanship on their wallets are amazing and it looks like these bags won’t disappoint either.
I was trolling on the urban outfitters website looking at their diana cameras when I ran across the Fuji Instax Camera.
Perhaps I am just slow and late, but is this an alternative to the fast disappearing polaroid? I’m not sure how long Fuji plans on making their instax film but certainly if all the polaroid users jumped over to the instax, it’d certainly give them a reason to keep going….
(plus the cameras are pretty sweet looking)
