Rocket Lamps

regis-rocket-city

Clicking around, I found these amazing Rocket Lamps by Frankreich Design (I think?  Having a hard time finding more info in English.  If you know of anything, let me know…).  From what I can tell, these colorful old containers, bins, pans have been stacked and wired and make the coolest lamps.  I want one in my house. Available at. o.k. Versand

Sea Creatures and Such

Coral collection, originally uploaded by gooseflesh.

I am amazed at the magic that can happen with some yarn, a hook and a thoughtful mind. I have been a fan of Helle Jorgensen’s work for some time now. The pieces she creates with such care of shape and color really move me. My heart certainly beats faster and my mind begins to race a bit.  I first saw her work in person when it was displayed in the Broadway Windows in NYC.  I especially love this shot, reminds me of the charts I love so much.

Smart Showers

I probably do my best thinking in the shower.  There are other good places for me, but I can always count on the shower for some good relaxed down time, then WHAM!  something hits.

I guess my mind clears and the thoughts start flowing.  While I don’t need much inspiration, for those of you that need something else to think about than that ABBA song you can’t get out of your head, check out these Smart Shower Curtains.  There’s Weather or Metomorphasis or Solar System or Periodic Table or Dinosaurs.  Helps you remember those lessons in school, and gives your kids some extra study time.  All from greengrassdesign.

Beautiful Bins

I think these are pretty and functional, I’d rather have this in my kitchen for trash and recycling than the not-a-bit-of-style blue and green recycling bins.  Recycling is cool and smart, why can’t the accessories be more like these! at DesignOnline.

Punk Plaids

I love exploring the Victoria & Albert Museum website.  It’s on my list of places to visit.  In the meantime, I spend many hours doodling through their fabulous exhibits.  I’ve been making Tartans via the Vivienne Westwood Tartan Maker.  You should make some too.

All Year Rings

I’ve been thinking about my holiday cards this year. Actually, I haven’t sent any out in the past few years, I start too late, and making most of my gifts, the cards get pushed aside. This year though, I have an idea, a greener idea, that involves email, but hopefully won’t be deleted. (Not that any of my family or friends would EVER delete one of MY emails) I’m thinking a “card” that can be emailed, and printed out and hung on the tree, or mantle or framed to be KEPT FOREVER.

Then, this morning, while clicking around, I found these:

I would keep these forever, wouldn’t you?

From the super creative Droog.  They are designed so you can add your own rags and clothes.  I also love Come A Little Bit Closer Bench, Nest House, Do Hit Chair, and check out their Labs, very cool.
