Lemon Ball

Love this vintage style, hand-stitched Lemon Ball based on a 19th century baseball. I picked mine up last summer at the Daytrip Society shop in Kennebunkport, Maine (worth a visit). They are also available direct from the maker, Paul Cunningham, right here. Made in USA.

Tom Slaughter

…strikes again. I continue to be inspired by the work of this NYC artist. Below is one of the most amazing pieces I have seen in a long time: from the heavy steel construction to the screen printed canvas envelope. I love everything about it. Created by Tom Slaughter, published by Maple Mountain Editions. Available for purchase here.

Price is Right

Another find from my trip to East Barre, VT a few weeks ago… These numbers came in a set (about ten of each) and were used to show prices in an old shop. I love their varsity-style type; they remind me of those classic manual scoreboards… I believe Fenway Park .

Classic

Found this box of staples in my great aunt’s desk over the weekend… proving yet again, old school packaging rules. 

Made in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. U.S.A.
