NSS, Franks A Bun!
Ahh sweet, lovely, glorious paper.
I’ve been perusing all the blogs featuring the fab new stuff from NSS…and I must say, there are some really fantastic pieces this year. I really wish I would have gone and I’m hoping that I’ll be ready to exhibit this time next year. Bravo to all who took part and thanks to those reporting back for us drooling, green-with-envy paper lovers to see. By far, my FAVORITE has been this super simple, perfectly hilarious card from the always-whitty eggpress:

i luv a rainy night
Here in Milwaukee it is a dark and stormy night…and I can’t get enough. This is one of the year’s first storms complete with thunder, lightning and buckets of rain. I think we all need a good shower from time to time…something to wash away the grime of city living. I have the door to my balcony wide open to let in that clean smell (something between wet grass and flowers) and its just perfect! I’m likely to jump in some puddles after this post.
In the meantime, here are some rain inspired Etsy items. I love, love, love them all.

Handmade Nation Premiere
Handmade Nation, a documentary based on a book of the same name, will be premiering at the Oriental Theatre tonight. The book and the movie emphasize the building movement of DIY, Arts, Crafts and Design in modern culture. It showcases the stories, techniques and works of artists and crafters from around the country that is the “handmade nation.” I’m thoroughly excited.
The premiere is Feb 5th at 7PM, $10/ticket. Be there.
