Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

For the month of August, a series of guests will be fill­ing in on DWL with daily posts. Today’s posts come to you from Diane Faye Zerr of  Faye & Co. For more from Diane, be sure to check out her blog and fol­low her on Dribbble and Twitter. Enjoy!

I trea­sure some of the vin­tage items that I add to my per­sonal col­lec­tion, and some seem to find their way back into the main­stream. This time, it’s patches. Patches – or badges – are fun, cute, cool, and not as com­mon as they once were. But they are mak­ing a full comeback!

Recently two projects were fea­tured on FPO, a web­site that fea­tures out­stand­ing print work, and I was sur­prised to learn that these lit­tle items that I col­lect are back on the scene mak­ing quite an impression.

If you’re look­ing to buy some badges of your own, I sug­gest you scour antique shops or eBay, visit a local Boy Scouts head­quar­ters, or head over to the Best Made Co. website.
