custom order

vicki ambery-smith makes custom silverware and jewelery based on buildings and architecture, my favorites being these rings. the one on the right could also function as a pretty great set of brass knuckles (and i think i've found the commission to request if i ever attend a thug renn faire ...) -- also, check her list of outlets.

want

i'm seething with jealousy. please feast your eyes on this "labyrinth aquarium," which goes for a mere $5500 at opulent items.

kerplunk

these spash-themed bowls at MoMA are $40 for a set of three, and while i think the "splashiest" one is the best i do think these would look great for a sushi set up like they've gone for or maybe a salsa trio?

i want 2!

today's a woot off...'ware the impulse purchases.

music nerd sale

20% off the entire books & design section at turntable lab. including this poster by finest elements ($24 marked down from $30).

"you're strange and wonderful"

so i heard of zeichen press from a post over at moue magazine. zeichen is having a "buy five get 1 free sale" so head on over. most cards are around $4, like this one above.

for the wall

these ready-to-hang "lak hooks" are pretty sweet .... on sale at urban outfitters for $4 a pop (down from $6), you can't actually pick the colour you get, so i'm gonna buy two and hope for the best.
