Hasta La Ideas

Thanks to Amy Ng at Pikaland for participating in the Connections section of the book! (see also the Pikaland flickr for more images and to read her contribution.) We asked some bloggers and collaborators from around the world to write a bit about their appreciation for Camilla’s work. Thanks also to Jan Halverson of Poppytalk, Victoria Smith of sfgirlbybay, Julia Rothman of Book by its Cover, Abigail Crompton of Third Drawer Down and Erin Loechner from Design for Mankind.

Camilla has updated her shop and if you were planning on purchasing some of her prints and 2010 calendar, you can now order the book as well. (Photos above by Camilla.) For those of you in Europe who haven’t already ordered through UPPERCASE and want a book before Christmas, this is the quickest option. Shipping deadlines from Camilla’s shop are:

The books have arrived in Gothenburg! To see Camilla (and Morran) with the finished project is just lovely. We all wish we could celebrate together in person.

I’ll post images of the show and book launch later today.

SHIPPING: today is the last day for regular shipping to the USA to get your orders before Christmas! Orders received today before 3pm will be shipped today. Orders received after that time should upgrade their shipping to Xpresspost and these will ship after the weekend. Canadians still have time (see shipping dates posted on the home page of the shop.) Orders to Europe and Australia who select surface shipping will not get there in time for the holidays. However, European customers can purchase books from Camilla; she’ll be adding them to her online shop this weekend.

I received a preview sample copy and it looks amazing! The book will be arriving tomorrow and then we’ll need some time to insert all the goodies (postcards, art print, luggage tag, stretchy band!!!) The books will begin to ship to their new homes mid next week. Thank you to all of you who have preordered the book. Click here to see more about the book, peek inside and to order. There’s so much goodness to share that I had to design a big new page to accommodate the images.

Elisabeth Dunker has a new limited edition print available in her shop! It’s a tribute to the “slow and calm life. It’s also a flirt with old embrodery, ornamental folk art and pixel graphics,” she says.

I’m posting this from the hotel in Winnipeg—very shortly on my way to see Camilla’s book on press. Elisabeth’s beautiful photographs are featured throughout the new book, as are her wonderful Studio Violet collaborations created with Camilla.
