shopaholic : books actually (singapore)



along with it's wonderous food stalls and mix of cultures, i came upon a store that i wished i had found earlier during my trip to singapore this past winter. i love design and although find that most of the work i do is based on the computer, which i do enjoy, my passion lies within hand created work. hand drawn type, screen printing, letterpress printing, etc... you name it, i probably love it if it's analog. that goes with music recording too, but that's a whole different post.

the store that i'm raving about is called books actually and they actually sell books of all sorts, but the thing that got me excited about their store is that they print + produce their own work as well! simple, elegant, and yet has a charm that reminds me of a time lost in our fast paced world. if you are ever in singapore, stop on by. you will definitely be spending some time (and hard earned cash) at this delectable store.

hi melanie! thank you + darren for sharing some 'go to' spots in singapore with me~ i will definitely have to check out the other stores during my next visit. the shots are actually from their website, but i wish i could have taken some shots of their actual store inside. it's beautiful~ would love to go have chili crab with both of you again soon~
