Arts & Farts & Crafts
I'm perhaps more excited than I should be about the art for June at One Shot.
First, I really, really love this girl's paper cuttings. I've been admiring her artwork secretly for months and with this (relatively new) position found myself able to give her an opportunity to show. Second, "she," the artist, is an old classmate of mine. Hopefully she'll get some good publicity from the experience, get traffic to her website, and perhaps even sell a piece or two.
You can check it out for yourself beginning June 2nd or visit Heather's site at hex-studio.com.
The other big news is that I'm back. The other other big news is that I've opened up authorship to include my co-worker and friend, Brian Honsinger. We're hoping for big, fun, think-y happenings in the future of Tampersand, including reviews of shops and books, various musings and lessons (both learned and taught), as well as all manner off coffee-related goodness. At any rate: welcome Brian.

Love Affairs + Coffee
"I do not only mean that every love affair is different from every love affair. I mean that love itself consists of not one emotion, but many. Just as a good coffee might smell of -- perhaps -- leather and tobacco and honeysuckle, all at once, so love is a mixture of any number of feelings: infatuation, idealism, tenderness, lust, the urge to protect or be protected, the desire to ravish, comradeship, friendship, aesthetic appreciation, and a thousand more besides.
There is no chart or code which can guide you through these mysteries. Some must be sought at the end of the world, and some in a stranger's glance. Some can be found in the bedroom and some in a crowded street. Some will burn you like a moth in their flames, and some will warm you with a gentile glow. Some will bring you pleasure, some will bring you happiness, and some -- if you are lucky -- will even bring you both.
The laugh of a woman, the smell of a child, the making of a coffee -- these are the various flavours of love."
--Anthony Capella, The Various Flavours of Coffee
