Oliver Jeffers for Digby & Iona

So I'm completely & utterly crazy (no exaggeration) about this new jewelry collection.

It's a collaboration between Oliver Jeffers and Digby & Iona. Aaron of Digby & Iona turned Oliver's illustrations into jewelry. Wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL TO THE EXTREME.

No necklace has ever been made for my neck more than that book eating boy necklace. 

My obsessions with children's books & jewelry intermingling in a beautiful way. Also (in a slight way) my obsession with my beloved state of Maine because that's where Aaron grew up. So. Just a blend of awesomeness, really.

Also - topical to my life, as I just bought a copy of The Heart and the Bottle the other day.

Also-also - apparently Oliver has a new book coming out in May. It looks delightful.
