bird's egg view

another rare bird finds-inspired post, i found this bird nest window project ($15) over at hearthsong after musing over these upside-down tomato planters (also $15). the tomato planters are probably more of a sure thing since its hard to force the birds to make a nest against your window, but if you're already a bird-feeder type maybe they're both equally possible.

green living

rare bird finds posted about this "vintage shopper" ($20) on their etsy saturday post, and i was really taken by the entire concept. the cotton and the concept (i.e. reusable shopping bags) are both green/organic, the illustration is great and the execution is both clever and affordable. showpony also sells a line of similar purses ($16):

so i just spent forever trying to upload this lovely french poster but i can't because embedding is disabled ... which i guess is fair if you're allposter.com ... but still, i'm annoyed. the poster above is from the clearance section, and at 16" x 20" is $6. Coupon code MCARD3 cuts 20% off purchases, including clearance, when used at checkout. Expires 06/30/2008. via bargainist.

accessory to dinner

has anyone seen aeon flux? these salt & pepper shakers remind me of those things she had in the tunnel. either way, i think these are modern yet tasteful. $30 for a pair at scandinavian design center.

a second elsewares post ....

i just found this innovative vase/candle-holder ($95, but only $80 if you use the coupon code from my previous post) on elsewares and had to tell you about it. it would be complemented by this coat hook ($76, but $65 with the coupon) below which incidently is right-handed while the vase is left-handed ...

records & mustaches

so these bowls ($26) made from recycled records and this clever lewd card below ($3.50), along with everything else at elsewares is 15% with coupon ELSEWARES15. tip courtesy of bargainist vis consumerist.
