Merit Badges!

Like many people, I was once a girl scout back in the day, and boy did I (along with my Mom's help) work my ass off for those merit badges - sewing, cooking, you name it!
So it was cool to stumble across Pod Post and see these contemporary crafty merit badges they have for sale. They must be the first people I have ever seen to create merit badges for letterpress! Their set includes 3 badges - one for setting type, one for type, and one for printing (on a Vandercook of course - but damn printing on an old school C&P is so much harder!). They also have great sets of badges for bookbinding and zine making arts - so I must give props to these crafty librarians for having merit badges for all these skill sets!

Cuppa Pens

For the first time in awhile, I started combing through the Supermarket website (kind of like etsy, but more curated), and stumbled across the designer, Design Glut, and their wonderful "Hookmaker". Combining a tile and a teacup, something utilitarian and beautiful is created. A place to stow pens, or just to shove knick knacks or keys, it can work it almost any environment. I wonder if they have them in other colors?
As a pretty young, but boundary pushing industrial design group, I look forward to seeing other items from them.
