DARKROOM’S Treasures

BY Lisa Lindblad

July 2, 2012

I am enchanted, invigorated, and deeply satisfied by beautiful, handmade objects.  When I find a source, be it a stall, a shop, a market or a website that celebrates artisanal creativity and skill, my heartbeat quickens.  At the root of this excitement that possesses me so palpably is not only my appreciation of the object but also, I have to confess, the thrill of discovery.

DARKROOM, with a shop in London as well as this superb website, is a delight, a goad to my creative juices, a serious temptation.
