Constellation Wish List: Meteor Wines

by Sara McNally | January 30th, 2011

We’re suckers for anything interplanetary, and we love to share a bottle of wine after a long week of work. (We also buy wine based on the design of the bottle, and then try to save them forever.) This series of wines by White Fences Vineyard and designed by Work Labs marry this trifecta of our favorite things into something magical. We’ve yet to see a bottle in person (they’re in Virginia, and we’re way out here in the Pacific Northwest), but we’re sure to snag one (or two or three) if ever we get the chance. (And once we’ve enjoyed the beverage, you can be sure that they’ll end up on display. And someday our children will be stuck with a pile of our “collections” to deal with. I <3 American Pickers.)

Constellation Wish List: SVPPLY

by Sara McNally | January 28th, 2011

I’ve been a little bored with the internet lately. However, Brad sent me to Svpply this morning, and i’ve been hard pressed to get anything done since! I love how I can aggregate my wish list & product inspiration from all over the internet, and share it. Our Svpply page is constellationco, and i’ve been having fun adding goodies to it all day. Check it out and leave your username in the comments, i’d love to follow you.

Our Shop!

by Sara McNally | January 28th, 2011

We are very excited to announce that we’ve found a space, bought a press, and set up our own letterpress shop! It was a major new year’s resolution for us, and we’re so excited that it’s come to fruition. We’ve spent January scrubbing, painting, renting equipment, and taking daily trips to Home Depot for wire brushes, steel wool, and WD40. Here are a few before & after shots of our new baby, Josephine the Printing Machine! We’re still doing the finishing touches on the shop, but we have a big open house planned for the first Thursday in March. We’ll send out a formal invite once the details are in place. Put it on your calendar, we’d love to see you there!

Constellation Wish List: Planetary Chart

by Sara McNally | January 15th, 2011

Sara here, taking a stab at the blog. I’m thinking this will be an ongoing feature: our Constellation Wish List. Brad sent me the link yesterday to this product yesterday, and it’s to die for. It’s Restoration Hardware’s Antique Planisphere Chart, perfect for our new studio space! So if you’re in the market to buy us a thousand dollar gift, now you know what to pick up. (Caveat: Not really an antique, and not really in anyone’s price range.)
