Neil Freese's Kaleidoscope Safari

Just wanted to give you a sneak peek at the art installation that is going up in the gallery- a mix of string art, collages and drawings by SF artist Neil Freese. (You can visit our flickr page for a few more pictures.) Please stop by the shoppe tomorrow between 2pm and 5pm to meet Neil and make God's Eyes with us!

Also, Neil has collaborated with jewelry artist Caitlin Clarke on a series of necklaces that are mini versions of his artwork! They are amazing and are only $28 at the shoppe.

This week's photo assignment:

Aaaahhhh....it's such a beautiful day here in San Francisco (and hopefully wherever you are too) that we thought "HOT" would be a fun theme for next week's photo assignment. Anyone is welcome to send us a picture, just email it to info@curiosityshoppeonline.com
before 1pm (PST) next Thursday. Enjoy your weekend!

Cover models

Yup, that's us on the cover of The Nest's summer issue! They sent a crew out to photograph us in our shoppe and our apartment a couple months ago, and here it is! It's crazy and totally surreal. The story is all about how we met, how we started the business and is filled with lots of DIY goodness. Hopefully the entire story will be viewable online soon!

Fun Stuffs!

We're super excited about the next show we've got coming up in the Shoppe. Artist Neil Freese will be gracing our space with a fun, colorful installation full of drawings, paintings, and perhaps even a little string art! We'll be celebrating the opening of the show in collaboration with ReadyMade magazine, which features Neil's fantastic God's Eyes on the cover of its current issue. Neil will be in the Shoppe on Sunday June 8th from 2-5 showing us all how to make our own. So please come join us, it's going to be a super fun, interactive, DIY and art extravaganza.

Also in the current issue of ReadyMade is a story I wrote about Conn & John of Cuckoo for Coconuts who are living large (and off the grid) on an amazing piece of property in Maui.

Hope to see everyone on the 8th!!

Photo assignment: Multiples

Blade of Glory

Ever since we did a story in ReadyMade about wet shaving, I've been completely (and pretty uncharacteristically) obsessed with it. I used to dread it, and would have probably turned into a beardo if it weren't for my darling wife, but now I find shaving to be an enjoyable ritual that I actually look forward to. So when we were in New York last week, I took a quick moment to sneak over Freemans Sporting Club for a traditional shave and a hair cut. It was amazing. Something about all those creams and sprays and hot towels and some burly dude with a blade to my throat was oddly relaxing and totally exhilarating at the same time. It was a fun new experience, and even though it cost more than 2 bits, it was totally worth it.

City: Part 2

Here are the rest of the "city" photos from today - thank you so much to everyone to sent one in! Speaking of cities, we had a great week in NY visiting friends and checking out all the fun and exciting new designs at the furniture fair and stationery show. But as always, it is great to be home.

Next week's photo assignment is: "multiples". If you'd like to participate, please email us your photos before 1pm next Thursday!
