Larry?
Deborah Zlotsky has this whole underwater thing down. Even if it not what was intended, it seems heartfelt and genuine and full of dimensional prose. Come to Know. It Happened, But Not To You. Less underwater…but equally fabulous. Late. Who’s Larry? Via Chris Johanson. ….and here we have Can No Go My Way. I [...]

Hearts and Timeless Mailings
I have an appreciation for mail. You know – the kind that arrives in your mailbox – the real one outside. I love the tactile feel, the personal energy, the time it took to send the piece. Not only is the inside compelling but often the outside is too–which is why these envelopes I discovered [...]

L’Affiche Moderne is based in France and sells worldwide limited edition prints [...]

Celebrating All Things French
It’s Bastille Day and today I celebrate all things French. I’m pretty sure I lived in Paris in the 1920′s in my previous life…and I was probably friends with the Steins and Picasso and their assorted group. Well – if I wasn’t friends with them I’m sure I wanted to be. So on that note [...]

Well – one is coffee. What’s better than coffee when it’s mixed with art? This gorgeous print by Dianne Poinski brings both of my favorite things to the same place. Black and white with hand-colored touches…simple and lovely. There is something so delicate and precious about bookplates and these by Cavallini are quaint and…just right. [...]
