This post was inspired by this cork globe: It was designed by Chiaki Kawakami for Suck UK and can be used as both a globe to document your travels on, or as a normal pin board. This got me thinking about push pins, and here are some of the best ones I found: These are… Read more »

Generally I think of clipboards as this: Now, there’s nothing wrong with that I suppose, but it’s pretty boring and doesn’t inspire me much.

Look what was in today’s Do Something magazine in The Guardian. I’m so on trend after last week’s Lino Printing Workshop. Sorry for the wonky pic, I took it in a rush…
The time is approaching, so here are my picks of the best Valentine’s card (mainly from Etsy): Starting things off with Rifle Paper Co. (stocked in Paperchase and lots of other UK stores, check their stockists page). Next up, SnoogsAndWilde on Etsy.
