Pretty series by François Delfosse.

Well, not really.  But each fragrance by Alexa Lixfeld does have it’s own scent, distinguished by a different colored concrete lid.

I don’t know about you, but it seems like every time I buy fresh herbs they go bad before I can use them a second time..  My solution may be investing in one of these.

Mother Nature’s little impromptu blizzard left our roof buried alive.

Well, I don’t read Russian, so the only info I can pass along about Maxim Sharov is that I love his bags, which are all handcrafted by the designer himself.

I love vintage bottle openers.  If I didn’t collect practically everything else, I would think about collecting them.  Here are just a couple of favorites I found on Etsy.

Cute Man & Wife, Hindsvik, $32

Drunk Guy, gerijarviscreations, $10

Creepy 4-eyed Lady, ZAGstudios, $165

Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas just reported that a rare copy of Detective Comics No. 27, graded an “8″ on a scale of 10, from 1939  (where “The Batman” first appeared) just sold for a record $1,075,500.  Holy millions, Batman!

I saw this a while back, but just remembered it tonight when I was making myself some tea.  Need it!

Are you ready for spring? They are….

British Rat Survival Trike… This whole genre is a British thing… see more here.

I am still laughing about this as I post.  I don’t even know where to begin..  Should I start with the fact that this Alex & Chloe skirt recreates Gizmo in grey tweed complete with ear pockets?  Maybe the fact that he has Swarovski crystal eyes?  Or how about that it looks like an alien-face bustle that’s being worn in reverse?

No, I know.  That even if, for a few laughs, you wanted to buy this thing to show up at work in, it’s gonna cost you $2,100.  Jeezus!

This clock, designed by Bertrand Planes,  runs at 1/61,320 the speed of a regular clock.. each number represents a year. If you manage to live through a full 360-degree sweep of the year hand, I’d say you’re doing pretty well!

Donna Wilson is a British designer who hand-knits strangely deformed creatures that seem to be inspired by the wonderful imagination of a child.  We have a couple of friends who recently had babies last year, and I’m dying to get one of these for an early birthday present!
