- Speaking of: This week we’ve been ogling the stove of our dreams.
- Ooh, save the date for Heath’s Make Good Market, December 6 and 7 in San Francisco.
- A new exhibit at Bard in Edinburgh—both online and in person—brings back the tactility of craft in an era when much of our time is spent swiping. Browse here. (Hat tip: Deborah.)
