You probably know Anna Sheffield from her limited edition Target collection, but her Bing Bang line has been a celeb favorite for awhile now. The New York-based designer hails from New Mexico and she draws much of her inspiration form her native homeland. Her pieces usually have a vintage, romantic feel and she works a lot with mixed colored metals. Now Sheffield has collaborated with McSweeney’s Books, the publishing house behind the classic “whodunits” for an actual cross-country treasure hunt, which kicked-off last week in NYC!
Anna Sheffield created twelve emerald-studded numbers, from the faceless clock, each handmade and one-of-a-kind, which have been placed in adorned boxes and buried in twelve spots across the United States. The secret to find these one-of-a-kind pieces, however, can only be solved by reading the Mac Barnett book which offers clues hidden in the storyline.
It’s a cute, fun idea, especially if you have children who love the house-shaped book, but if you’re like me and don’t have the patience for this kind of a hunt, Anna will be creating a made-to-order ‘Lucky Number 3 Necklace’ and Numbers 1-11 for $85.
