world destroyer

yes, they are real.

the tiny creatures that lived on these former planets have all perished.

perished with a single touch of a giant finger.

these rock.

getting on my nerves

all things anatomical are welcome in my heart and home. phrenology charts. models. this one is from sushipotparts shop. they have tons of cool ephemera and other vintage finds that are right up my science-y alley.

did anyone else have the visible woman and man kit when they were kids? i loved it. am i a weird-o?

half full

i love the way the wooden stopper is resting perfectly sweet and stable. simple and beautiful. i have special feelings for the textures of natural materials (thump, thump). a love affair you might say. the only question is: large, meduim, small, or all?

find them at velocity.

by the way, you'd be hard pressed to find a cooler place for a gift registry. you know aunt margie will still insist on getting you oven mitts and a salad spinner though...

$2.56 per square foot

how rad is penny flooring? easy to obtain, an idiot could install them and they only cost $2.56 a square foot.

that's math. and that looks awesome.

find courtesy of notcot

penny flooring lives at the standard grill in new york of course.

thomas jefferson would've had an awesome blog

these are from a great article in the times by maira kalman.

i like listmakers.

read the article, it's nice.

the earl of awesome.

gie us a cuppa...

bits of badass prints from mark weaver.

creepy and technical. perfect.

but them at etsy.

chickety check

alright, so we've all seen the ol' art on a clipboard on your mantle dealio. i've seen some really well done displays and i really do like them. but i see them so often when i'm cruising design blogs, etc. that i'm kinda over them as a possibility for my own home. that doesn't take away any of my love for clipboards. no, no, nuh-no. i'm leaning towards this clip style versus the typical, larger metal one. so nice and simple. and the white folder version is to die for. perfect desk accessory.

i was initially drawn to and, spring (o-check's store) because of some really cute calendars featured on design*sponge. which btw you can download monthly for free. NICE! just click on "wallpapers" in the upper right corner of the page. and here's a unique combo: korean and french inspired goods. you need to see it for yourself. the site setting is a combo of korean and english so it's not the easiest to navigate but well worth the trip. and even though i cannot translate any of the posts i REALLY enjoyed their blog as well. do yourself a favor and flip through a few pages.

ok LAST BUT NOT LEAST you HAVE to click here to see the header on their graphic design website. so sweet. wait for it...yep, it moves. the bird and a skirt and some toes. aww.

spies like us

ok. plain type. note card. paper clip. mini version (file folder). stamp. aaaaaaaaaah. what a brilliant surprise party invitation?! who wouldn't be pumped to get this in the mail? and who wouldn't be blushing like crazy if this was made in their honor? so thoughtful. what a great idea. i sort of want to crash the party.

I want a new pet.

how sweet is this guy?

he lives in texas. here is his story.

love is in the air

behold, the airplant. tillansia if you like the particulars (yay, nerds!). no. soil. required. swear. submerge in water for an hour once every 2 weeks in winter. once a week in summer. is takes water in through its leaves. how cool is that?


these photos are from artemisia. go back to my pigeon toed post to see more on pigeon toe ceramics. go on. treat yourself. and for the record: these are light enough to be picked up by curious cats and get tossed around and chompy chomped. choose your placements wisely.

felt up

if it's felty and soft i probably have a crush on it. and oooooooooooooooooooooooh this pebble rug from west elm is no exception. unfortunately, to my canine crew this would be an open invitation to a pee party. so, i dream about felted wool rug goodness. and i hope that someone i know will buy this rug and not FOR ONE MINUTE take for granted the luxury of having a rug and the freedom from pee pee.

get a woody

i'm running amuk today so i gotsta be quick. luckily these pretty much speak for themselves. super cute birch greeting cards from night owl paper goods. send one as a greeting or keep it as a little piece of art. and a shout out to every woman in love with owls, birds, and/or toadstools... rest assured they have you covered. chickety check.

say cheese

glazed earthenware, cast by hand. i love you.

find it at yellow owl workshop with a gazillion other cool things for the wish list.
