Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend. We got some rest in which is good since it’s a busy time coming to Rare Device for the next two weeks.

First up, we are participating in the Union Street Festival this Sunday from 11-6 in Hayes Valley. We are in booth 90, near the corner of Octavia and Fell, on the east side of Hayes Green. We are next to our buds from Artefacture and Turk and Taylor too!

Next, Rachel Denny’s lovely show closes next Tuesday, but Christopher David Ryan’s show opens on Thursday the 4th of June at 7pm. Please come by to meet Christopher and other internet/design world luminaries who will be dropping by…

Finally – image above is a great new book called Naive: Modernism and Folklore in Contemporary Graphic Design. It will be available on our site soon. It’s great, I have a feeling I didn’t order enough copies…

We are so happy to have in stock new small sized stud earrings from Prismera Design. Here is a sampling!

You can view all the new Prismera earrings in our New Arrivals section.

Christopher David Ryan, artist, graphic designer and illustrator is having a show here at RD that opens June 4 7-10 pm. You can check out his website here to see more of his brilliance.

We had a fabulous trunk show three days ago and many people are now sporting their Prismera Design goodies (including me). Laura Su is already plotting the return in 2010!

Today we are restocked on Tokyo Bay watches, which are cute and affordable too, and also the popular wood and resin rings and bangles we found at the last gift show. We also have brand-new flower arrangements by Studio Choo. These are charming and (ahem) for sale in our shop! Grab some flowers for your table on the way home or before visiting a friend. The studio is also available for custom arrangements for special events.

Just a reminder for you Bay Area folk to join us on this guaranteed to be beautiful Saturday afternoon for sweets, drinks and the lovely jewelry of Laura Su of Prismera Design. She is braving the weather at JFK to come out here and showcase her creations for you from noon to 4pm.
