Back to school in style

Perhaps this post is a week or so late, but I am thinking that these Leather bound dictionarys from thisisauto.com seem like the most perfect gift for a new student to begin their collegiate adventures. In addition to being thoughtful, practical and stylishly colored, this is a gift that a student can keep and use forever.
Diorama-rama
How cool are these little pop up paper dioramas available at Brooklyn 5 and 10 ? Any of my friends reading out there get ready, you will be receiving one of these for Christmas this year…it’s a promise.
Moma catalog coolness alert!




My boss here at the new office just got a Moma Store fall catalog, and before I delivered it to him I snuck a little peek. Boy am I glad I did, there is a bunch of stuff (-ing) that needs to be mentioned within it’s glossy pages.
Check out these ramen sporks, Michael Graves designed Witherspoon watches, Issey Miyake Bilbao tote, and Sabuda pop up cake cards.

Test print journals


Just the other day I came across an article online about test prints and the collectors market that goes along with them. Basically a test print is the paper they stick in the printing press to test that the image is going to work. Usually a printer will use the same piece of paper over and over leaving a really cool sort of mishmash of images behind. Apparently people collect these pieces and frame them up, but here the people from Hammerpress are using these to make cool one of a kind journals. They are available from one of my very favorite online retailers, curiosity shoppe.
