Something's Hiding In Here

guts

we are getting ready to start a new project for a show at rose & radish. more soon...

wishbones

new sets of wishbones are now in the shop. get yours here.

UPPERCASE

we are pretty excited to be a part of this show put together by UPPERCASE. more info on old school here.

happy day

today was my birthday.

we're nuts about you

a special batch of acorn charms for a top secret project... (more on that soon).

a place for everything

our obsession for organization + our love for little printed bags =

so far we have printed: camera, phone, i pod, charger, lip balm, keys, sewing kit, pens & pencils, misc., favorite things... you can be sure my tote bag is full of them already.

look for these at art star bazaar in philadelphia and renegade in brooklyn!

lots of everything

200 mustache envy charms.

we are in full gear... getting ready for 3 shows, filling wholesale orders, prep for art star bazaar / renegade and two top secret projects. our new strategy is to make lots of everything - all at once and no sleeping!

christine tillman

a (very public) note to stephen from shauna:
a really want one of christine's drawings for my birthday!

collecting

poppy talk featured us as part of her collecting series. check out the full post here.

all better

after an all night trip to the emergency veterinary hospital and a full week of recovery, "noodle" is feeling much better. her mystery illness might have been a (very expensive) stomach ache?

gocco

a chart of gocco inks... genius! click here if you want one too. they also make a 32 card version of inks printed on different colored paper.

new obsession

i am in love with sugar city. my new wish is for everything in my closet to be replaced by grown-up versions of these dresses.

new book

we love the photos in the new check & stripe book, "standard". they remind us of the book, "plans for other days" by jan family.

states

one of our projects for this weekend was making new states (like this) from old paint by numbers.

another reason we love derek & lauren

look at this little treat we got in the mail from derek & lauren (of the curiosity shoppe). they must have figured out our love for things lined up in a row. truly, we LOVE this.

painting

ever since we started "collecting" thrift furniture, we have been painting it and repainting it. the best part of it being so cheap is that we have no fear or remorse in panting it glossy hot pink then changing our mind and making it battleship grey.

jan of poppytalk asked us to give her a few tips on how we paint our furniture and created a post about it. (click here to see the full post)

(this is how we keep track of the paint, wallpaper and fabrics we use)

Lawrence Weiner

we went to see the whitney biennial last night and our favorite piece was not a part of the show, but left over from the lawrence weiner retrospective "as far as the eye can see".

little friends of printmaking

melissa & jw aka little friends of printmaking are our new bffs. we met them at the opening of their solo show in philadelphia at amble and we are happy to report the duo is just as sassy in real life as we imagined. it was pretty hard to pick just one print, but we ended up with a rat.

its ok

we are in love with this wood "limited" edition of one million. made by chicago artist, sighn. each one is made from scrap wood and is hand cut, signed and numbered. watch an amazing video about the project here.

plaster logs

we just added several new items to our shop... plaster logs, plaster hearts, wood rings and wishbones.

favorite

this is our favorite mustache photo yet (see more here). thanks lauren and derek of the curiosity shoppe for sending it to us and thanks to wilson & laura for passing it along to them.

thank you

today was the last day of our show "everyday" at rare device in s.f. we wanted to thank rena and lisa for inviting us to put together a show and for all their support. we've had such great feedback on all the work and you will be seeing more of the states, calendars and music boxes soon.

studio

we have been cleaning our studio spaces all weekend (there is still lots to do) one of our favorite parts is this paint shelf.
