it’s been a long week and i’m ready for the weekend to come, so i’m off to spend some time away from the computer screen. i hope you all have a fantastic weekend and i’ll see you on monday! also, i wanted to share these beautiful 2009 letterpressed calendars ($35 each) from eva at sycamore street press. in addition to being painfully cute, 50% of each calendar’s profits will go to benefit AHOPE, a group that cares for children orphaned by aids in addis ababa, ethiopia. click here for more information and to shop. (you can also click here to take a tour of eva’s home!)
ps: if you’re in the nyc area this weekend be sure to check out the first ever greenpoint design conference taking place this saturday, october 25th from 6-8pm jan and aya (99 franklin street, brooklyn NY). some of my very favorite people will be speaking as part of the series over the coming weeks: llubav choy duerr, sarah magid, screech owl design, and joey roth (among others). click here for more information and to attend.
