STUKENBORG PRESS GOES GLAM

Remember Stukenborg Press? I wrote about it here. Well now they are doing their beautiful dice prints with metallic gold ink to stunning results. I actually gave in to my Fab.com temptation and bought a couple of these prints, which arrived in the mail yesterday. I have to say that they are even more luminous in person!

WEEKEND UPDATE: BRIMFIELD

My apologies for the short radio silence here at the obsessive imagist—I had a weekend full of adventures that had me going non-stop from Thursday to Monday. I spent two days hanging out with my Mom, including wandering around the annual Brimfield Antique show* (see last year's post here) and snapping up lots of goodies. Some of my favorite purchases were: letterpress type to use in crafting my wedding invites, vintage metal lockers, a full set of blue pyrex mixing bowls, and several vintage Ball jars to store my growing collections. Still, as you can see above, lots of other things (high end and low, silly and sophisticated) caught my eye. Hope you like the them, too!

Learn more about the Brimfield show here. And get excited for another weekend update post (with links to new drool-worthy shops) tomorrow!

*As some of you may know, a month ago a freak tornado touched down in northern Massachusetts, wreaking havoc and devastation in many small towns, including Brimfield. The amount of support amidst the heart-wrenching damage (countless trees simply uprooted and tossed aside, homes destroyed and several lives lost) i witnessed in Brimfield was inspirational.

APPLE LOVE

This weekend I did something big. I bought a new computer! My old computer—faithfully known as Prince Humperdink—was getting rather elderly at age 4.5. And since we all know how much I am obsessed with Apple products, I waited until they released a new round of MacBook Pros and I bought one! I can't believe how amazing it is: nearly 8 hour battery life, amazing graphics, super fast. Seriously, check it out here.

And have you heard about the release of the second generation iPad? If possible it seems even more revolutionary than the first one. It has a front and rear camera, is significantly thinner, and has a sweet magnetically connected screen cover. Awesome. Now if I could only justify purchasing an iPhone, a MacBook Pro and an iPad all in one year.
