Mr CUP News

I am surrounded by vintage objects and type related items... this is my passion, my way of life, and I am happy to share it with you... Being in Bali doing the wood letters with local craftmen, going to Spain to met the printer for the letterpress calendar, last week end going to Bordeaux to visit Poa Plume... this is what I like, this is my engine.

 

I used go to fleamarket but I saw a lot of things without buying them. Now I have a purpose going there and buying these amazing items to gave them a new life... Just want to say thanks for people who buy items here, because everytime you do, it is more fluel in my engine ! I put a lot of new items in the found section, each one is unique and will tell you it's own story...

 

This is the perfect exemple. I have this for years, it is an old coffee machine, but the top part is missing ! But it is so beautifull, I want it to decorate ! I found a new one last time so you can now have one too...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ce vendredi 6 décembre, entre 15h et 21h je serai donc en bonne compagnie à la maison Poa Plume de Bordeaux pour le marché de Noël d'Auguste Derrière. Je vous ai préparé de petites exclus, et le calendrier sera dans un beau sac en toile Mr Cup spécialement pour l'occasion... Vous pourrez surtout découvrir les 3 tomes des livres d'Auguste Derrière qui sont le cadeau idéal pour cet oncle à qui vous ne savait jamais quoi offrir ! Quelques photos du making of, et pour ceux qui ne viendront pas, suivez ça sur instagram...

I am happy to said the calendars are now finish and in boxes, probably in a truck between Zaragoza and my home. It tooks much time than we plan, but this is all handmade by the amazing El Calotipo team and they have done an amazing job ! I get an email the other day telling me "I am sad it is sold out"... but it is not ! Only the Deluxe edition with colors edges is sold out, but you still can order the "normal edition" which came with white edges here. And it looks like this :
