It is called Fancy (www.thefancy.com) and does exactly the same thing as those mentioned – a visual bookmarking service – but with more of a social context and with a little bit more panaché.

Registrations are currently open (I’m klan if you want to follow me), so get in there while the iron is hot. There is also a free iPad/iPhone app as well, so you can browse lovely, pretty stuff on the move.

A is for Awards.

The annual YCN Student Awards ceremony was last night, in the magnificent Shoreditch Town Hall. 

It was a surprisingly smart affair, with more than it’s fair share of retro ties and thick-rimmed glasses. What were more unexpected, though, were the mountains of meat and chilli flavoured popcorn, the cellist, paint tins full of punch, and sugar covered mountains. The eagerly awaited awards (last year it was a thick handmade wooden ‘A’), turned out to be quite beautiful hand gilded gold A’s, which were picked up by everyone commended for their brief.

Check out YCN, they do lots of good things (including hosting a free library of design books!) www.ycnonline.com
