Megan is behind the often featured blog Vintage me oh my which go directly into my short "blog to visit every day" list the first day I visited it. But now, she wants to go to next step building her own soap brand and buisness... But for that she needs help, and you can support her project on kickstarter.

Here comes her great products.

I would like to take this opportunity to talk about something I have in mind for a while. Years ago, a graphic designer was a just a graphic designer, working in agency or freelance... But in some years, the influence of internet and specially blogs open a lot of new doors... I figure it out with the harmonie interieure stickers or the letterpress calendar, a simple idea, something I want, can be part of my work... I now can sold a wall sticker in Australia and a calendar in Uruguay just from my computer (and my regular visit to the post office, of course)...

But as everything, it needs to be featured on other blogs, you need to make it happen, it is hard work... Some people told me I always want to sell my products now... of course ! I need that to keep doing what I want, to still have time to publish other people works, to bring you inspiration... I feel like a movie director, who does his film by passion but only can do the next one if people go to see his work...

But the most important is not to "sell things", it is to make dreams happening... I dream about wall stickers that inspire people and I made them, I dreamed about a letterpressed calendar and it exists... and I want to thanks all of you for that, and for the next step, that, if it's happen the way I have it in mind, will be huge ;)

I am happy to support Megan with her project, so if you want to smell like a lemon, support her project.
