Gourmet French ephemera: Whet your appetite for Bastille Day
[Alyson R. Kuhn] Voilà a sampling from my ARKive of tasty French menu artifacts. And a pair of LUminous (not a typo, mes amis, but a hint) cookie labels. And a liqueur label that I hope will make you groggy with joie. Bonbon appétit! Furthermore >Turn back the pages: Gail Anderson’s Michael Jackson scrapbooks
[Gail Anderson] I loved me some MJ in the early 1970s. This was the Michael Jackson of the ABC and I’ll Be There days, way before all the crazy. I loved all the brothers: Michael, Marlon, Jermaine, Tito and Jackie — the original Jackson 5. But it was Michael who made my young heart race. You could call it puppy love, but that would be quoting a Donny Osmond song, and any self-respecting Michael fan knows that’s just wrong. Furthermore >Let’s give Lilly a Pulitzer for these summery paper pleasures
[Alyson Kuhn] Lilly Pulitzer prints have been in style for decades on sunny resort wear: Floridian flora and jungle fauna in bright citrus-y colors. I knew they had made their way onto housewares … but I must have been snoozing or snacking when these prints started showing up on really good paper goods. I have just wrapped some as hostess gifts, in semi-sheer papers. No need to gild the Lilly! Furthermore >Print-your-own packaging
We bet these packaging PDF templates from finch&hawk paper goods will wow the guests at your next party. And we recommend printing on Strathmore Script for a lasting papery impression. [TS] Furthermore >ManyThanx encore: Thank-you card news
We recently featured ManyThanx on Felt & Wire. The very same day, the Westchester County Business Journal ran an interview with ManyThanx founder Janet Odgis. In the same article, the journal cites California Pizza Kitchen’s thank-you card program, which rewards pizza loyalistas. Odgis refers to ManyThanx cards as a “box of gratitude,” and we could describe the pizzeria’s cards as a “slice of thanks.” Think the journal was sticking its neck out to tie these two efforts together? Furthermore >Old Glory on paper: Kit Hinrichs talks about flag ephemera
Kit Hinrichs is celebrated for his design work as a Pentagram partner and now as principal of his own Studio Hinrichs. He’s also known for his collection of more than 3000 flags and flag-related items, which are the subjects of two books and at least one TV interview (with Martha Stewart!). Here he talks about his collection and what the image and history of the flag have to say about the United States. Furthermore > |
