Best thing ever- My Helvetica necklace

This was sort of a surprise Christmas gift from my mom. I didn't ask for it (I'm usually a bit picky about that), but it was most certainly a welcomed gift. Turns out I did actually ask for something similar (different manufacturer) a while back, which I forgot about until after Christmas. Anyway, it's BEAUTIFUL! It took some getting used to at first because the acrylic is a bit rough around the edges and my collar bones suffered a bit. I've taken to wearing lower-cut shirts so everybody can see it. I've gotten loads of compliments and a few confused looks, but it doesn't matter, because I'm the only one I know who has it, and now, like when I got my Helvetica Badge, my life feels a little more complete.

Best thing ever- My Helvetica Moleskine

I actually got this on my birthday, which was more than a month ago. I thought I should talk about it a little on here. Let me see. First, it's absolutely precious. I like holding it and running my fingers over the imprinted cross in front and type on the back. I kept the outside label on just so it's all in one place. There's a cute little file folder in the back and a red cloth bookmark. And best of all, it comes with a brief history of Helvetica.

Currently it sits atop a stack of design books on my desk. <3

Best thing ever- My new badge

Perhaps you remember a while back I posted THIS ENTRY about little Helvetica badges. I found the picture on DeviantArt and casually commented about how I must have one of them immediately. I got a response from the ARTIST, and he said he makes them, but only in his country (Lithuania). However he said that soon he was going to start an e-shop and wanted to know how much it would cost and how long it would take to ship to the states. He sent me one, under the one condition that I would just let him know when I got it! Sounded like a pretty amazing deal to me, so now here I am, one cute little badge later, and my life is just a little bit more complete.

Just Bought- Helvetica T-Shirt

Been wanting one of these for a while, like almost a year. I had to decide what letter to get, though. Sure my name starts with a C but the C shirt is sooo boring. I got A because, as a type freak, I figure, it's the first letter of the alphabet and all, and the Helvetica lowercase a is most distinctive. I like the R one too. I may get that one as well in the future. But it might be overkill to have too many.
