Now the site is online, I can go back to my usual posts ! Back on october 18th (read first post here), in Singapore, still guided by Yong, designer behind Somewhere Else. After visiting The gentlemen press letterpress and design studio, and have a nice lunch with the team, Yong bring us to a very nice street full of great shops : Yong Siak Street
Book Actually
We start with the amazing Books Actually, I could live in this shop ! As it said on front, it is a bookstore and a vintage bric-a-brac !!! Books and vintage objects everywhere !!! A must see !
Strangelets
Just at the side of it, is another designers shop, where I can get my fields notes books as I miss some: Stangelets. I also get a copy of the Singapore design magazine The design society journal there.

So, after 2 days, I am really happy of all the nice feedbacks I get, email, facebook, twitter... thanks ! I want to post before but thousand things to do and fix...
As you know, sponsors are now included. But I do not want to just have random commercials of non related projects. I want to present shops, products and brands that I like... The only question I ask myself is "would I talk about this product/brand/shop if they werre not a sponsor ?". If they answer is yes, they have to take part of the Mr Cup project...
Each week, I will then present the 1 Product / 1 shop / 1 blog... If you want to be one of them for comming weeks, feel free to contact me.
Product : the helvetica wood letters
So, thanks for all the first orders that prove it was a good idea :) Do not forget the much you order, the more free extra letters you have... Just write your text on the ordering page and you will see the price... Simple...
Shop : Rifle Paper Co
I love the singularity of this brand and all the products they propose... Images are better than words :
Blog : Vintage me oh my
I love the name of this blog !!! Megan did an amazing work, presenting thousand of vintage images. You can also have high resolution images for free... That's what inspires me to do the vintage section of this blog, as I have thousand old papers and photos in my hard drive... This beer stamps are just amazing...
