Nancy Drew: Twelve Classic Covers from America's Favorite Teenage Sleuth (Magnetic Postcards)

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I enjoyed reading the Nancy Drew books when I was a preteen, so I enjoyed the "blast from the past" when I came across these cool retro magnetic postcards. (I was secretly relieved I wasn't expected to share them with anyone else -- or at least I don't think they're meant to share. Gulp.) (via Author Incubator: Gifts for Writers)

Miniature Newspaper Art Pins from Carolyn Forsman

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

What a cool idea -- to turn yesterday's news into today's art (or, to be more specific, a miniature newspaper that can be pinned to your sweater and worn as a piece of art). It's just one of the many creative inspirations awaiting you in Carolyn Forsman's very aptly named "Conversation Pieces" collection.
