Ty spied this local artist at Frances’ Crafeteria two weekends ago and rightly steered me over. “There’s a typewriter,” he said. Indeed.

Vintage images on beautiful antique plates? Oh, baby. These are by Josie Cirincione of Inky Black Paper Arts, and my friends Berkley Vallone (interior designer of doom) and Shauna Kupetz (who owns JAM) are equally obsessed.

Josie has installed her entire collection this week at Frances in UNION at the Biltmore. Prices are about $35 to $120. I took home the two below, but please leave some Fornasetti plates for me.
