Fresh Picks: Location, Location, Location

To find peace of mind, get out of your head and look outside yourself for inspiration. Witness, for example, this Harmony & Balance Bookmark from Boompje beestje (above), crafted in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Inspired by Aesop’s tale, it symbolizes the necessary harmony between work (ants) and play (cricket) in delicate, fantastic papercut form. This quest for connection also extends to the larger universe outside our own planet. Both locales offer infinite messaging possibilities, as you’ll shortly see for yourself!
