Penguin redesigned their classic book series! I love the patterns and bold color combination — designer Coralie Bickford-Smith certainly did a lovely job. They’re almost too pretty to read. Almost.
These hardcover books are a steal at under $14 a pop. I already plan on picking up a copy of Wuthering Heights
and Pride and Prejudice
for my dear mum.

Wow, I am in awe of Wataru Itou’s handmade, papercraft castle. This intricate paper castle took four years to create and includes lights, a ferris wheel, and a moving train! It is on view at the Umi no Ue no Oshiro (A Castle On the Ocean—海の上のお城) exhibition at Uminohotaru.
