We are super-flattered that Ana of Rearranged Design asked us to do a house tour--check it out here!

We have been super busy getting ready for Renegade! There have been some panic attack moments--when we think too much about all there is to do in the two remaining weeks--but we're also having a lot of fun putting everything together. We're excited to introduce some new items, like the vintage alphabet buttons above, and repurposed puzzlers made with vintage papers (below). And of course we are making more of our stationery and prints too. More soon!

We just dropped off our first wholesale order at Rare Device yesterday, so if you live in SF you should swing by the store and check it out. They feature items by lots of great designers, and we are excited to be in such good company.

Yesterday we made a much-anticipated trip to Scrap, which stands for Scrounger's Center for Reusable Art Parts. It wasn't quite the holy grail I expected it to be, but I suppose it's like anything second hand--sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't. Now that we know where it is, I'm sure we'll be back to try our luck again.

And if you don't live in the Bay Area, their website has a list of similar organizations elsewhere, as well as info on how to start your own "scrap". Pretty great!

We're starting to kick it into high gear getting ready for Renegade Craft Fair next month. Our Gilded and Gelded prints are the first of many new items we'll be selling in our booth.

We just wanted to say a quick thank you to Poppytalk, for inviting us to be a part of the Paper Pops Handmade Market which ended Friday. We were very proud to be included in such great company!

(You can still catch work from the Paper Pops participants on Poppytalk's paper goods and affordable art guides, here and here.)

We've made some small but significant changes to Ye Olde Treatzone. We now have an RSS feed so you can become a Treatzone subscriber, and you can now comment on Treatworthy items. We look forward to hearing from you!

We met with the lovely folks at Rare Device this weekend, and are happy to announce that some of our stationery and prints will soon be available in their store. We'll post an update when they're in stock.

We usually clean our screens as we use them, but this last month we just stuck them in the fridge to deal with later . . . and today I decided enough was enough. I think it took me two or three hours (and a couple beers) to get through them all, I lost count. Lesson learned.
