Renegade Craft Fair/Brooklyn Style
Ye Olde 3rd Annual Renegade Craft Fair is on tap this weekend in Brooklyn. The weather looks as if it will be nice and seasonable this year, but the crafts and tinkerings will surely be hot, hot, hot! Check out the booths on June 16th and 17th from 11am-6pm @ McCarren Park Pool.> Abigail on 06/13/07 #
Heather Menicucci's Let's Get Primitive
Just in time for late spring and summer is Heather Menicucci's new book, Let's Get Primitive -- a guide to getting out and enjoying the great outdoors, not just in the local park, but all the way out in the woods. That's right -- camping. The book will fill you in on all the details with regard to planning and having a great trip, but most importantly, it's going to inspire you to want to pack up and hit the road, so that you get beyond the crowded city streets and into the wide open spaces of backcountry. Read an interview I did with Heather over at 52projects.com.

Keri Smith's Wreck This Journal
It's officially on sale. Keri Smith's new book Wreck This Journal is presented in an extremely creative way, and it is sure to inspire you to get creative in new and creative ways. I'm over-using the word "creative" on purpose. Check out the Wreck This Journal site, and make sure to explore the gallery to see how people are using the book, as well as how you can post images of your own journal wrecking.

A World of Cute
I have just returned from a really long trip. It included thrifting ancient Steiff animals in Switzerland and a visit to Schmancy in Seattle. More than usual, I have toys on the brain and want to spread the joy: Softie Central is waiting for you.> Scott on 06/06/07 #

Lepidoptera and Lace Shelving
The Icelandic design team, Studiobility, has created some very sweet steel shelving units that cast perforated and somewhat nostalgic shadows on the wall. See the Fairy/Tale bookshelf and the Crochet Steel units, based on traditional Icelandic crochet lace work.> Abigail on 06/01/07 #
The Other Scrimshaw
Two pocket watches- one made of BONE and the other Birch! Maybe Brett will stop coveting this old thing.> Scott on 06/01/07 #
