Cute, inexpensive paper goods - art prints, lettersets, bookplates, plus magnets and buttons - with hand-drawn animal-theme designs. Sleeping sloths, jolly jellies, and a unicorn that's vomiting a rainbow... Very nice customer service too. From Australia.

wallpaper menagerie

9 people recommended this item

Description

Wallpaper is little used because of the effort and involvement required - these hand-cut appliques remove the work while retaining the benefit of pattern.

Nikon FE

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I have half a dozen cameras, and this is by far my favorite. Takes better pictures than nearly any digital now available or affordable (and I've used several Nikon DSLRs - it takes forever to set the white balance, too). Simple, brilliant, and dependable. The FE has a metal body, accepts all Nikon-mount manual and AF lenses, even those pre-AI. Smooth shutter and film advances.
Since it's manual you;re actually responsible for the quality of your photos - point and shoot is useful for some instances, but there's not much knowledge or creativity involved.
FEs can be found on eBay at very low prices - E series lenses are a good choice for those balancing optics quality and price. Takes an SB-10 speedlight, which is a little strange looking but gets the job done.
Features manual shutter and aperture selection, self-timer, depth-of-field preview, battery indicator, double exposure capability, AE lock, bulb-capability, and hot shoe mount. Shutter speeds from 8 secs to 1/1000 sec, plus M90 (no battery required for 1/90 sec shots, and bulb (as long as it's depressed, shutter's open) settings for time exposures. Tripod threads, flash sync mount. Takes two 1.5v silver S76 button batteries.
The only problem I've ever had was the shutter freezing open at extremely low temperatures, but even those images came out fairly interesting.

Crypton Super Fabrics: William Wegman Pet Beds

First to recommend

Description

Pricey but fantastic, pet beds made of Crypton fabrics are virtually stain and wear free. It's too bad they don't come in larger sizes (my dogs are huge). The fabrics designed by Wegman, famous for his weimaraner photos, are also available by the yard, as pillows, bags, and laptop cases.

All Is Vanity print

First to recommend

Description

My dad had this print in his study, and I've been looking for vintage framed versions for years but will settle on this and frame it myself. By Charles Allan Gilbert, American Illustrator, 1873 - 1929, this image is considered an excellent execution of optical illusion.
The 12 x 18" size is good, as too large would imply a certain degree of "gothness" on the owner's behalf.
