Futopia

Searching high and low for a political map to use for a crafting project, a Google search led me to Futopia. The last in stock, I snatched up a Cavallini map for only $ 4.50. Even with shipping, the price was better than the less artistic travel maps were selling for in Cincinnati.
I placed my order on a Friday, it was shipped on Saturday, and arrived on Tuesday. I was delighted to see my map so quickly! It arrived just as pictured on the website: vibrant colors and in new condition. I especially liked the detail Futaba, the shop’s owner, put into packing my item. The map was wrapped in brown paper which was fastened shut with Halloween stickers. Then, as a free gift, I found some adorable kitten stickers tucked away inside the shipping tube. On the invoice was a personal, hand-​written thank you note from Futaba.
The next time I visit New York City, I will have to stop by Futopia’s shop in Brooklyn and check out all the awesome wares. For now, I hope they restock their Cavallini maps as I feel another crafting venture coming on…
