Some retail therapy for a Saturday afternoon...

Found three sweet sites that I thought I'd draw your attention to...



First up... we have some sweet leather Moleskine covers from a wee grassroots project based out of San Francisco, California.

According to the site... their covers are made of the finest quality natural leathers with handmade workmanship... produced with no harmful chemicals... they aim to provide a durable ecofriendly product with simplicity, beauty and functionality built in.

At 40 bucks... they are a luxury but then... if you spend your hand earned dough on a Moleskine... then you probably dig good paper and would want to keep it extra special.



teefury.com is a fab wee threadless.com-esque tee shirt site with a difference. Their tees are limited to 24 hours. Literally... here today... gone tomorrow. I like that concept... and the tees are pretty reasonable too - 14 bucks for a tee to your door in the UK... this is one to bookmark and check out daily.



Lastly... vmjess' store on etsy has some superfab camerastraps... both over-the-neck SLR ones and over-the-hand point-and-click ones. They are wild and gaudy... but in a good way... far better than the corporate ones that come with your camera.

I particularly liked this one :: Reversable Laguna Bloom and Stripe :: but I can't imagine everyone liking it. Maybe thats why I like it so much.

New Moleskine goodies... coming soon

My thanks to notcot #25,626 for the heads-up to some new goodies coming our way from Moleskine.

They are going to release "Moleskine Passions"...

...a collection of six different journals to record and recall memories, thoughts and notes about six different passions: Recipes, Wine, Book, Film, Music and Wellness.

and six new pieces with the "folio collection"...

...a collection of top quality large Moleskine formats, A4 and A3. Now 6 new items have been added, conceived for professionals who love to personalize their own desks and give value to them, in functional and aesthetic terms. It is also a set of tools Moleskine lovers can use to build their own "portable office", to represent themselves in all occasions and meetings.

The "Passions" notebooks contain the following:

• Pages divided by printed tabs, with a themed layout for supporting you in taking notes.
• Pages divided by blank tabs, that the user can personalize with the enclosed adhesive labels.
• Blank pages for freedom of expression.
• Enclosed adhesive labels, with words and icons.
• Themed charts, calendars, glossaries, listings.

...And the new additions to the "folio" collection includes...

• Post-it pocket (ruled and plain in one pack)
• Card pocket (20 pcs in one pack)

Sounds pretty exciting... can't wait to see them. The drop date looks like early 2010. Go here for more details.
