I drove to the Tri-Cities a couple weeks ago to see where Michael grew up. He gave me a tour. These pictures were taken by me while I also tried to steer. I don't won't make a habit of this method!

Also which is the most functional seeming yet cool bag?

I recently stumbled across Paragraph Cove (etsy shop and brick & mortar in Wheeler, OR). Her handmade stationary reminds me of envelopes I used to make with my sister from torn magazine pages. The work at Paragraph Cove however is much more polished and thematic (check out the afghan throw series above). So beautiful and restrained.
