Draw Pilgrim

On the Etsy blog, Pilgrim Lee expands on the As seen on Etsy feature of her blog. She's got a rainbow bright retro feel to her drawings and designs and advocates for such decore in the home especially when moving from one beige apartment to the next. I couldn't agree more!

Type Scrabble

Andrew Clifford Capener came up with the best idea ever: pitch a typophile's version for Scrabble.

read and weep:
The idea was to excite people about typography by giving them the ability to choose what font their scrabble set would come in.
