... shop scoop .....................................................
There's been a lot of daydreaming happening at Pulp. Thoughts of summertime camping trips -- of flowering fields and and leafy green trees -- and it's absolutely showing on the shelves. We've just received a shipment of paper goods created by the lovely and talented, Jill Bliss. There are journals and datebooks and post cards galore, all decked out with her amazing illustrations of leaves and flowers. Coming soon: a new line of tote bags in the shop from Massachusetts-based Smudge Ink. These bright bags are made of 30% recycled material, they're reusable and fully recyclable with other household plastics....which makes then pretty much perfect! Also coming: a new shipment of paper cuckoo clocks from decoylab and new lovely floral note cards from San Francisco's Peculiar Pair Press.
