Besotted about lovely things, just as the name would suggest.

The other night when Miss Tristan B was wrapping gifts, wasn’t she thinking ’wouldn’t it be so cute, to have some kraft flag gift tags’? Course it would. Also fonts. She’s mad for fonts. Business Penmanship — a “delicious cursive font” and sans serif — an “amazingly legible” font, cos you know, it’s always nice to be able to read stuff. They even have calligrapher interviews. Read it.

2. Fab All Things.

This is fab. Based in Dublin, this is an interactive design site where if you think you have a fantabulous design, you submit it, people vote on it and it could get made. Easy. They use the most up-to-date trends in manufacturing, like 3D printing, and there are some amazing designs there. We especially love the Wrecklace by Dori, the Hourizon Clock by Kieran Murray and the steam punk phone cover by Jev. We said it before, but we’ll say it again. Fab.
