Cog & Pearl | Faune Yerby Art

First to recommend

Description

I discovered Ms. Yerby's work several years ago at Cog & Pearl, a lovely shop in my old neighborhood in Brooklyn. Her mixed media collage work has a distinct New York vibe without being self-consciously so. She creates collages that incredibly eye-catching. I bought a small piece for myself a while back and have also given her work as gifts. Each piece has a different photographic theme (water towers on rooftops, NYC landmarks, etc) and is truly one of a kind! You can also check her our at www.fauneyerby.com.

Atlas of True Names

First to recommend

Description

Quite possibly one of the coolest, most interesting things I've ever seen! I want this map so badly, as it mixes some things I absolutely love: languages, etymology, and geography. This atlas reveals the original names and meanings of familiar places around the globe, as painstakingly researched by two German cartographers. Whether it's Chicago's original name of "Stink Onion" or, even better, Yucatan -- which translates in Mayan to "I don't understand," this is a work of genius. (via Atlas of True Names)

Bicycle Bells

2 people recommended this item

Description

These are too cute! For those of us bicyclers who need to be seen AND heard while riding along crowded city streets, these bells are eye catching and adorable. I have not, however, heard their ring, but I hope it's loud and clear; Brooklyn drivers are insane!

A cool necklace featuring the initial of your choice. Love the aesthetic here, though the chain could be a little bit more upscale. But nevertheless, what a great gift idea.
