Spirit Candle

Despite a close call with the Fred Campfire Candle, (it created a towering inferno but still love the effect just got to keep a close eye on it) we still love candles in the winter. A little flickering candle light makes us feel all warm and cozy . Full Story »

Happiness is a Warm Gun Egg?

Remember when you were a kid and your mom made goofy little pancaked shaped animals to bribe you to eat your breakfast? Same concept here except we’re betting if someone made you a Gun Egg you’d be sure to gobble it all down. ‘Eggs Benedict Arnold’ Anyone? Full Story »

Who says urban dwellers can’t have gardens?Vertical gardens are not a new concept but designer Xavier Calluaud’s Urb Garden is the first one we’ve seen that actually composts as well.  Vertical gardens are a space saving way to farm your own fresh herb and veg.

The Hair Chairs

tumblr_kup0zggsFr1qzqij2o1_500

We get it. Hair as a design resource, groovy. We dated a Heavy Metal dude once with really long hair. Kinda skeeved us out. We broke up with him because of it. Shallow we know, but there’s just something creepy about constantly picking your boyfriend’s hair off you. The designer of these coiffed creations  Dejano Kabiljo of Kabiljo Inc., designed the PRETTYPRETTY Collection  to ‘regulate the erotic allure that surrounds us’. If your ‘erotic allure’ is dating a dude with long hair these chairs may be for you. But as for us, we feel the same way about these chairs as we did about that guy. We think they’re cool but we don’t want to date them.

This chair has a Dolly Parton circa 1970’s vibe we dig. Definitely Dolly. There’s a busty blond with a touch of sass coming from this chair. If a chair were a spunky girlfriend this would be the one you’d want in your corner. Just like 9 to 5.

Tea Bag Lights

201001061001

Korean designer Wonsik Chae’s Tea Bag Lights are really cool but don’t try taking a sip! The cup is filled with a chemical intermediate and the teabag contains fluorescent molecules, when the two come together the mixture gives off a yellow luminescence. The more you steep the bag, the deeper the glow.

All I Want For Christmas-A Wish List!

We know Santa has been tightening his belt this year but we decided were gonna send him our Christmas letter anyway. It never hurts to ask! Here is our Christmas List!

Nikon D5000 12.3 MP DX Digital SLR Camera

nikon d5000

We went to a Nikon event about a month ago with no interest in buying a camera. We left with a stack of brochures and a desire to take better photos. When, our crappy Casio petered out last week on a hike in the Catskill Mountains, and we were left with only our iPhone to capture our precious moments, we vowed somehow, someway we’d get this camera!  . :<  It is relatively simple to use  but has some highly-advanced DSLR capabilities. The Nikon D5000 is a good camera for someone who needs to take better photos but is still learning the intricacies of photography.

Nirve Paul Frank City Bike 700c Women’s Hybrid Commuter Bicycle

p6315660dt

Paul Frank City Bike women’s hybrid commuter bicycle by Nirve® is one hot ride! It has a vintage style, hand-built lugged frame,  three-speed shifter and a Shimano® coaster brake. It’s a tricked out ride perfect for neighborhood cruising. And we dig the luggage rack but we’d add a nice basket in the front for our hauling needs.

A Brain Pillow by HeatherWeathers on Etsy

We’ve gone all artsy-craftsy lately so if it’s handmade and a little quirky-we’ll take it! We love the use of the lace to represent the skull and the variety of quilted materials gives the user an anatomical study in cushion form.

Sushi Ring by CarolynTillie

More specifically a Tekkamaki roll sushi ring. You can never lose with teeny tiny replicas of food, when it comes to jewelry.  And we want to make our love of sushi known to the world!
