LIFE IN 2050

exhibiting at the sci-fi london film festival

sweeeeeet.

coconutnut.

i like this a lot.

it looks like a cat egg.

it's called safe.

by siobhan hapaska.

rolled around at erasing.

sew awesome

a few weeks ago the mister and i went to an estate sale
in one of the most bizarre neighborhoods. ever.

REALLY pretty and sizeable 1940's brick homes with the ugliest,
ugliest additions known to man. 

they weren't run down at all, just really tacky. 

i mean block after block after block. all tacky. 

seriously. i'm not even being snobby at all.
i was hoping to come up with some kind of analogy
to help describe this place 

but i'm at a loss.

at any rate, we did come home with some great industrial storage pieces
and other home decor. 

none of which i've had time to shoot yet, of course.

{the shop update i talked about friday STRAIGHT UP didn't happen}

amongst the goodness- ta da! -this gem:

{pardon the crappy iphone shot}

initial plans were to sell this in the shop but once i started flipping through it 

and realized it's a REALLY great source for basic tailoring

{and laughs}

i'm reevaluating the whole situation.

i have to scan some of the pages to show you guys though. 

the illustrations are awesome. 

do they beat the front cover on the awesomeness scale? 

don't be silly...

channel your energy

so looking forward to this weekend.

a big step in the bathroom redeux:

tackling the tile and new throne.

channeling the rest of my energy towards a shop update

lofty goals of it being a big one...
but the magic eight ball says don't count on it
{jerky magic eight ball}

and some bootie crafting and onesie iron-on work for a friend.

we're also taking both dogs and both cats to the vet.

all.at.one.time.

it's a lot to do. 

but i feel like i have the power.

what about you?

photo struck by frogman.me

next up...

have i been slacking with shop updates this week or what? dang.

how about a little preview of what's in store?

i found these homer laughlin tea cup sets last weekend.

it might be my favorite pattern so far. there are gazillions though 

so i'm apprehensive to pick one fave...

if you've ever researched the pattern names 

you know what i'm talkin about. jeez.

and how cool is this french roll pan? 

it.is.heavy. 

when i said little preview, i wasn't kidding...

an easy pill to swallow.

the pil pendant lamp by tim wigmore.

cool on top of cool. hand turned logs melded with hand blown glass.

these are amazing.

dosed at substudio.

stumped.

why don't we see more rough edged knife blocks?

this one is beautiful. much more eyeball friendly.

designed by °es. sold at green your life.

sheathed at substudio.

science?

illustrations by michel simeon from le livre de sante.

proof that aliens have been living among us for years.

seriously, how cool are these? trippy and weird.

and is that pellet supposed to be poop?

i hope it's poop.

dissected at a journey round my skull.
