flashback

I drove through Charlottesville on a work trip earlier this week and on my way back I knew I had to stop for lunch at Revolutionary Soup, a great lunch place I tried for the first time in January. They've got tons of tasty soups, sandwiches, and salads sourced from local farms. The experience is a warm, no-frills deliciousness.

Before getting back in the car for the rest of the drive, I popped in to Blue Whale Books and stumbled upon a small treasure. In the back of the store near the printing and book arts books, I found an old issue of Print magazine. From 1989. One article, The Women Who Saved New York, featured Paula Scher and Louise Fili. How wonderful to see their now iconic work as it was covered when it was new.

I am so glad I made that stop in Charlottesville yesterday. For one, that Spicy Senegalese Peanut Tofu soup really hit the spot. And now I'm eager to look back on current issues of Print in 20 years; perhaps I'll be this delighted all over again.

I wanted shelves

 

I try not to be too acquisitive.* But man, did I want these Expedit shelves. And these. And these. And now that I have my own, I can go back to my schedule of doing & making (and fitting each craft into it’s own cubby) instead of coveting and shopping.  

*I know, I know. My Twitter feed is filled with “I need this” & “I want that.” What can I say? I'm a work in progress.

a new project

I picked up this shelf for $3 on Friday afternoon. I was looking for ink for my printer and never found it. The shelf seemed like a reasonable alternative. I think I’ll paint it turquoise and paint the individual shelves red to add color in my sunny space.
