Sharpen your Pencil

Sometimes, I watch “Iron Chef America” on the Food Channel, and I am always wishing I could try the creations that interact with the person, the ones that you have to DO something or that they have to add something in front of your eyes. It just seems like the meal would then be enhanced [...]

Cardscape

I had bookmarked these a while back.
It’s a pretty Cardscape desktop mail organiser, by Oliviera Rosa, that you assemble yourself using cute figured metal clips and paper buildings. A little world you can modify to your mood, how often does that happen in a life, right? :)

Material Fusion

Mixing textures and materials in sometimes unexpected ways, that’s part of what I love to do! And I love to see others do it as well.
Therefore, I adore seeing Nesting Emily, from Ontario, work the materials together with aesthetics. Adding felt and yarn to her beautiful simply carved pottery, she gives her pieces a uniqueness [...]

Hairline Porcelain

In graphic design, “hairline” means a really thin line. Totally what came to my mind when I saw these pieces from Bailey Doesn’t Bark.
Blacks and reds handpainted motifs pop out of slick porcelain pieces. What I love also are the themes, like “Shhh”, which comes from the fascination with the positions in which people manage [...]

Bud Vases

These sculptural but functional vases, by Hawaii’s born and raised Ryan Takaba, are sure to get noticed! They have great texture, shape and color, as well as being easy to use! Take out the water vessel, add some water in it, put it back in and add your stem!

For now only US shipping is listed, [...]

Waiting for Spring

I used to LOVE winter.
But since successfully trying edible gardening last summer… Let’s just say that now, I just like winter.
With that said, this cute Trio Herb Pot by Sagaform is actually torturing me! I can’t wait so start my balcony garden!

Big Handmade

I’m in love with handmade furniture! It’s like uniqueness in a giant manifestation! Although my budget disagrees with the obsession at the moment, hurts no one to look (and think about the future), right?

This wall shelf with drawers by Humanhands would look awesome amazing in any home! USD$350.

Modern metal mixed with the organic texture of [...]

Weird is Cool

I’m not one to usually like porcelain figurines. And I’m not one to actually consider buying something “weird”.
But these little hand-molded sculptures are just too intriguing to pass up!
A 8 legged manly head? Nooo problem!
A cute deer body with a dude’s head? Why not?
Imagination has no limit for Melabo, and I like it!
I’m waiting on [...]

At $1,899 CAD (or [...]

Sustainable Memo

Ever had to write a phone number super quick while listening to your answering machine? Or having to just write down 2-3 ingredients in order to not forget it later at the groceries? Or for myself, wanting to write a RGB code that I will use 20 times on a project in the next hour? [...]
