this year my goal was to cover all three shows- every single row and every last booth. and of course, despite best laid plans it took me way longer to get the stationery show and icff done than i’d hoped. because of that i wasn’t able to do as much of surtex as i would…

icff 2007: part three
alright- we made it! the last day of icff coverage. it was a fantastic three days covering everything and running from place to place trying to catch it all. though the show wasn’t the best i’ve ever seen, it was great to see everything in one place and meet some of the designers i’ve admired…

stationery show 2007: part two
today is my final day of stationery show coverage- i wish i could go on for weeks about this show but i’ll try to let the pictures do the talking. yesterday someone said to me “it must feel like a highschool reunion at that show” and it’s definitely true- i find the stationery designers to…

nama rococo
my photos of karen’s new work at nama rococo really didn’t do the new pieces justice. however, these photos are perfect and totally spot on color-wise. just wanted to share photos that looked a bit more accurate. darn my camera and it’s stupid color issues.
stationery show 2007: part one
this year’s stationery show was a blast. despite the fact that each year it feels like the good booths are hidden behind rows of people selling self-help books, halloween masks and crazy hats (those booths drive me nuts), this year’s show did not dissapoint. after about 20 rows of the aforementioned tchotchkes, i stumbled upon…

new: chilewich
i’ve been dying to post this for over a month now but chilewich wasn’t ready to announce their new product until this week. tomorrow, sandy and co. will debut a new line of “woodgrain” tiles, w2w and by the yard fabric. i’m nuts about the collection and would love to find a space to use…

jan at poppytalk put together a fun guide for the stationery show. i’ll be covering everything for d*s but if you’re attending and need a little direction jan’s compiled a nice list of booths. click here for the full guide.

re: SCAD lecture notes
if you attended the scad lecture on wednesday and would like to download the lecture notes and outline i’ll be uploading the documents and posting them this weekend. i’m having a little technicaly glitch getting them uploaded but as soon as they are i will post them right away.
conroy & wilcox
i know this isn’t a jewelry site but i loved this piece from conroy & wilcox. i first saw their work at erie basin (which is also chock-full of beautiful jewelry) and have been trolling their site for new work ever since. you can see their full collection right here (prices range from around $500…
john mahoney
new wallpaper from john mahoney- john will be showing as part of the studio printworks booth at icff… [i have to run to a doctor's appt so i'll be back around 12:30 or 1]

custom and pre-made wall vinyls from oneup designs on etsy. this pattern, blossoms, is available for $50 (which includes 2 individual graphics). thanks, megan…
shopSCAD
one of the (many) highlights of my trip was a visit to shopSCAD. i’ve seen a lot of art school shops and i’ll have to say, SCAD is in a league of its own. i was scheduled to stay there an hour (which i thought was nearly impossible) but i could have easily stayed for…
preview: julia rothman
i’m an unabashed julia rothman fan and i was psyched to get a little preview of her new pieces she’ll be showing at surtex (booth 236). as always, i love her use of color and illustration- i especially enjoy her work in fabric form. i’m excited to see what’s next for julia, i think we’re…
magnolia place inn
somehow i hit the b&b jackpot and scad kindly put me up at the magnolia place inn. right across the street from forstyh park, the magnolia inn was like living in a movie. literally, i felt like i was an extra in the cast of midnight in the garden of good and evil, or like…
ny mag: the next everything
ny magazine just put out a home design issue with a 24 product slideshow proclaiming “the next” everything. ie: “tord boontje is the next verner panton”. i don’t agree with a lot of the choice but it’s a lovely slideshow of some products i haven’t seen out there yet. click here to view the full…
