"Harry" Organizer

Updated Dec 7, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

I know it's wrong to covet things . . . but I do covet this, yes I do. It would keep oft-used things right there in sight and easily grab-able. And let's face it, Harry's got character, yes he does.

Space Shuttle Ring

Updated Nov 5, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

Jennifer Wood is both a silversmith and a lampworker, making her own glass beads. Mastering one of these crafts is challenge enough. I'm impressed!

The ring looks a bit dangerous. But also unique and extraordinary.

Dino City Tee by Daria Tessler

Updated Oct 24, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

This graphic is from a wonderful, complicated tee for a very reasonable price (see second pic for the tee itself.) Also, I like the store it's from (Little Otsu) because they give information you need:

"The womens sizes run a size smaller than you're used to, so please order up accordingly. Also, the shirts are 100% cotton and not pre-shrunk, so they will shrink in hot water/the dryer." When I see something like that, I know the customer service will be great.

And the detail on the t-shirt is just so. . . I know I've already said wonderful . . .

Just be prepared for people staring at your chest.

Bunny Sutra Watch, from Swatch

Updated Oct 30, 2006

1st to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Yes, this is a very silly watch. Yes indeed. Still, there are times when really, without a Bunny Sutra watch, one is at a loss. This is just the watch for such occasions.

(I think it's difficult for me to admit just how much I like this very silly watch. I would look down at it on my wrist, and it would give me great joy. It's one for the wish list.)

Ceramic Ruusupuu Mug

Updated Nov 16, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

"Ruusupuu" is Finnish for "Rose." I love the contrast created by the black, white and pink of this pattern, designed by Maija Isola in 1957 and used in a line from Marimekko that also includes a serving tray and an umbrella.

Shelflife

Updated Oct 19, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

Wonderfully asymmetrical. And who says shelves have to be straight? Books. Yes, I would fill mine with books. I would arrange them not by author or topic, but by color.

"Show Off" display unit

Updated Oct 19, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

The beauty of this design lies in its simplicity. The interlocking squares are clearly sturdy, steady and easy to assemble, and so intuitive that they make you go "Why didn't I think of that?"

uten.silo

1st to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Sometimes the classics need a nod. This unit, designed by Dorothee Maurer-Becker, was great when it was introduced in 1969 and it's still great now.

As someone with Attention Deficit Disorder, I can especially appreciate any design that keeps things visible, organized and close at hand. I WILL own one of these some day.

"Kleine Katze" brooch, by Felix Lindner

Updated Oct 19, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

I'm a big cat fan (we have five right now), and this brooch touches my heart. I don't know how it would look when worn: you'd see the kitty from a whole different angle. I like this angle. I guess I'd have to wear it on my shoulder.

joy rotating shelf unit by achille castiglioni

Updated Oct 19, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

My favorite item of furniture is the shelf unit, and this is among the best of the best. As much a sculpture as a piece of furniture, this unit has numerous shelves, each of which can rotate around the center axis. The permutations are infinite. I can just picture it holding my favorite books and my most beloved objets d'knick knack.

UM Carry

Updated Oct 16, 2006

1st to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

From the website:

"This ingenious design is the result of its simplicity -- the bag is nothing more than two layers of a cleverly shaped piece of felt and a zipper. When entirely unzipped, the bag lays completely flat. When zipped, it becomes a beautiful -- and useful -- bag."

Furthermore, it looks like a smiling shark. To me.

Doggy Coin Purse

Updated Oct 15, 2006

Description

Is this not adorable? It has a wonderful dog print, but it's subtle enough that the coin purse is still rather elegant. Elegant kitsch? Anyway, I love it!

Bead Girl Jewelry Folio

Updated Oct 10, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

My mom got me this for Christmas, and it was one of my favorite presents. I love the embroidered picture on the front! It's very sturdy and well-made, using heavy canvas with snap and zipper closures--I'll be using this one for years. The inside has a number of zippered compartments of different sizes, as well as a detachable zippered pouch. The inner lining is a contasting striped fabric, a nice detail that contributes to the overall great look and feel of this bag. Great design, both functionally and visually.
