Get one before they’re gone!
There are some excellent architecture lectures coming up this spring… most exciting is the return of Bjarke Ingels to Vancouver, which is not to be missed! Check out the Danish wunderkind’s work at his website: www.big.dk !
We have some beautiful new holiday cards designed excusively for us by the very talented Melanie Kwan.
Printed on 140lb. cold press watercolour paper, hand-cut and hand-folded. There are 2 designs (Well actually 3 because we added the text “have a very cozy christmas” to the one with the houses), they are packaged individually with craft envelopes for $5 each.
Send one to someone you love.
