The new souvenir

nospam@example.com ()

I had the pleasure over the weekend to visit a new exhibit at the Gallery of BC Ceramics of two of my most favorite potters here in Vancouver (and the world, for that matter), Laura McKibbon and Jasna Sokolovic. The show, Se Souvenir/Creating Memories, is an exhibition inspired by traditional souvenirs exploring cultural identity reflected in and the creation of memory. Gallery Manager Brenda Beaudoin explained the idea behind the exhibit where typically, souvenirs are mass-produced objects, manufactured outside the country which they represent, having little or no real connection to the very place which they are meant to represent. As Laura McKibbon also pointed out, they set out to include souvenirs that not only reflect the city but also explore the relative experiences of the artists, each piece representing each artist's walk home from their studios. "How often do we see a moose here in Vancouver?", stated McKibbon. And typically those are the types of souvenirs that we see here in Canada.

6 great Etsy stores for vintage kitchen goods

There was a time, oh so many years ago, when I could truly find vintage gems for a song on ebay. This, I fear, is not so much the case anymore, thanks to something called a free market economy. As the vintage treasures dwindle, the amount of crapola also rises, leaving one feeling as if she is crossing a desert of trash, constantly deceived by mirages.

But then there is etsy, with its nice design and clean interface, and the edited, curated selections of a few vintage sellers who can be depended on.

These tonal, hand-painted ceramics from set-designer-by-day Michelle Antonisse caught my eye at the inaugural Brooklyn Flea last weekend, so I tracked her down to ask her a few questions about her work. She's been producing the line for about two years and notes that her designs are...
