trick of the eye

so rare bird found this lovely magazine rack, and i stumbled around the website for rockett st. george for awhile afterward and fell in love with this misleading acrylic table. it has a hefty price tag at £149.95, but it would make a really eye catching breakfast bar table.

twisted twee

this is the underside of a worry pillow, where you can keep your trepidation suitably under wraps. if you can't tell, the little figures are those tiny little worry dolls folks used to have (£10). and then, let's hypothesize: so its cold, but you you still want to be all cute and rub your clammy palms together? buy these £30 lovers gloves from twisted twee, fine purveyers of kitsch.

who's there?

knock knock dot biz is great for coming up with those postmodern office accessories that you aren't sure why no one thought of them before ... the above post-it set for $16 actually has multiple sizes of common monosyllabic utterances on "old school" lined paper. and below, the password pad for $7 gives you a spot to put down all that random "unique identifying" information you come up with a half hour after your boyfriend breaks up with you and you sign up for match, eharmony, okcupid, myspace and chemistry dot com all at once.

brand new bag

so this is a pretty sweet shopping bag. the website doesn't give a whole lot of information,but i think that its safe to say that this is made out of that vinyl-y nylon shopping-bag material that they're all made of out. $18. and these pencils are a dollar! at ghettogloss boutique.

watership frown upside down

apologies for the weird view, but take a look at these calling cards from papersource. i like the idea that after meeting someone you'd take one of these out and actually fill it out, rather than simply handing someone a business card. it has a more organic feel to it. take note, hippie business men. $5.50 for 25.

some day...

this is a stamp set that will come in handy during my future office reign of terror. in the meantime i will simply use it to criticize all of your correspondence. muhahaha--cough. $9.95 at chronicle books.

2 girls ...

i like this set of cards (girl 1 and girl 2) a lot. they remind me of fashion drawings without the clothes. from springcart for $7. when i ended up on the main website, i was really interested in their bi-monthly subscriptions because they sound like pretty great gift ideas. they consist of "a unique piece of jewelry (valued at $30 or more), a beautifully scented candle and a package of specialty tea," which sounds right up the alley of a few people i know. you can try out the subscription for $50.
