We recently picked up a (very heavy) new piece of studio furniture on Craigslist. We’d been looking for an additional storage solution (flat files, type cases, etc.), but our budget wasn’t lining up with what was available. But then (ta da!) this beautiful galley rack came up, and we snatched it up and brought it to its new home.
Perhaps your remember our exciting letterpress find from a few months ago? Well, we finally bought a new scanner and put together a pdf of the whole booklet!

I’ve always loved New Year’s Eve. It’s such an ideal time to draw lines in the sand – to look back on the year before and make plans for the year to come. It’s a reboot, a clean slate.
