Another new Timber shirt! This one is on it's way to me now, along with this one that I finally ordered. That puts my Timber shirt count at 7. Did I mention that I really like his shirts? Now I'm just waiting for this one to come out in a colour I like more...

Here's a new ad to the want list from Penguin. Love the classic covers, as a lot of people do, so I think it's a great idea for them to basically just give you 100 of them. It would make it a lot easier to display the ones you really love rather than having to prop a few books up on the shelf.

Back when I mentioned this picture that I love, I mentioned Boler trailers. This little Scamp trailer reminds me of a Boler, and has been beautifully re-done inside! I would love to own something like that. Not that we camp, but I can always dream (both about camping, and about owning a camper...)

A quick trip to the Globe & Mail.com today to find a review yielded some interesting news:
A-Ha are still together (but not for long). Who knew??
Seriously, they have 9 albums, 4 of them released in the 2000's? Wow. I really had no idea.

Since I got on the topic of music I like in my last post, I thought I'd let you know that lately I cannot stop listening to The Acorn. Since I first heard them on a sleepy morning at track & field a few years back I've been a fan, but lately it's like I don't want to listen to anything else. Sometimes I force myself to, but really, my first instinct lately is always to go for The Acorn. They are perfect for this time of year. I wish their current tour had come the the Starlight and I had gotten to make them a poster (though that also would have been somewhat scary to do...)

Excited.

New poster. Can't wait to see it up around town.

The main reason I decided to post right now is that I just bought this, and I couldn't wait to share it with you all. I can't wait for it to show up in my mailbox! Letterpress, beautiful, great colours, super cute, woodgrain. So much good going on! Could potentially go well in a number of spots around the house.

Seriously? Seriously:

SO CUTE. CAN'T WAIT.

Here's something else I've been eyeing over and over again on etsy recently. Great colours. Must be a split fountain from what I know of this kind of thing. Which to me seems tricky to do with consistency. I don't even really know how to explain why I like the colours so much, but I just feel like they're perfect. The only reason I haven't bought it yet is because I have problems with wearing off-white shirts, so I'm afraid I wouldn't wear it much. Beautifully done though.

Made of Myth. The construction of vintage video games. Clever, witty, and very impressive in scope and production.

Here's something I keep forgetting to share with you, and I can't believe it, because it is one of my favourite images that I have seen on the internet for the last few weeks. In fact, since I've already broken from my usual 1 pic per post, and I love it so much, I'm putting the pic up here:
SERIOUSLY. How could I not love that? It does make me a little sad, as my friends' Boler was ruined this week, but overall, everything about this picture makes me happy. I tried starting to list them, but it would have gotten ridiculous. Even the shadows in the trailer!

I would LOVE a print of this. Apparently it's from a book, which I, of course, now need. (from design*sponge)

Speaking of books, I was in Words Worth today for the first time in far too long, to pick up two books I won from Mandy over at Edge of Seventeen. Always exciting to win something. Mandy left a note on the front of the one, with it's cheesy, model-photo based cover that said "Insert way better cover," which is a note I definitely appreciated (aside from the books!)

Thanks Mandy! I feel kind of bad for taking them from potential teen blog reader winners, but I do really want to read them!
