Love these two completely different ampersands from Veer and House Industries, respectfully. The ampersand on the left is a lovely wood brooch and the one on the right is a iron bookend. I wouldn’t mind having either one of these graphic design themed lovelies.
Perhaps I am a little late with the Alice themed items but either way I still love these little tables from Thomas Wold. They are available in a coffee table size as well as a smaller end table size. While you’re checking out their shop be sure to browse thr lighting section, some very cool [...]
I saw this trailer today and had to share it with you! There is a new movie that is based on Kathryn Lasky’s Guardians of Ga’Hoole books. I actually have never read the books but they look amazing. The trailer looks stunning and I am sure this is going to be a tear jerker! Have [...]
Yesterday when I returned from the bookstore (with a new Penguin Classic) I spent a few moments bookmarking books for my too read list. I also discovered that Neil Gaiman has a new book that is being released tomorrow. Instructions is a picture book collaboration with illustrator Charles Vess which reads as a how-to-survive-a-fairytale manual. [...]
I love these mood lights from Tuavus Design. The standard size seems to be about 6″ tall and actually come in a few different styles and colors. I love the concept and the extra fun thing is that to turn off the light you simply lay the object on it’s side. Tuavus Design is also [...]
Last night I watched a film that I am embarrassed to say I had never seen before. The 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes staring Jane Russell & Marilyn Monroe. I love classic movies, especially those with some comedic drama and a musical number or two. I have picked out a few etsy finds inspired by plot [...]
I’ve actually been plowing through the book Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks: An Epic Quest for Reality Among Role Players, Online Gamers, and Other Dwellers of Imaginary Realms for the last few weeks. If you have ever watched all the Lord of the Rings movies back to back, or showed up at the local bookstore [...]
Check out these cute resusable fabric decals from Mae (or Mini Mae if you are looking for the smaller versions). I would love to see these jazzing up a dresser, or maybe a really boring cabinet. There are so many designs to choose from, it might be hard to pick a favorite.
I went to see Ben Folds perform last night at Town Hall in Manhattan. It’s such a small intimate theater and we had just amazing seats so needless to say the show was amazing. I actually didn’t give much thought to who, if anyone, might be the opening act. In this case I was blown [...]
I found these amazing handmade plush creatures from Ninon while browsing through flickr the other evening. I love the uniqueness of all of these little creatures and can imagine making up stories for each one of them. I really wish I had the skill set to sew imaginary beings with as much personality as these. [...]
