This was too hilarious not to re-post.  Fake info-graphics are so fun sometimes.  I love Scott Schuman as much as the next jealous hipster, but this is so spot-on.  Kudos to Refinery 29 for this awesomeness.

This is a great little repository of vintage Soviet holiday postcards!  Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.

It seems that just about every blogger out there loves Sunshine & Shadow…  I am no exception.  Though I’m not about to race out and rock socks with wedges, I absolutely love the Spring collection, including the necklaces (which remind me a lot of Manu).

I used to do more posts for the guys out there, so this post is giving you all some love…  I would just like to point out that if you haven’t checked out this shop, you should!  There are really very few good Etsy shops out there that focus on quality men’s items.

I absolutely LOVE this series of photos.  They are very tranquil and subtle, yet quite moving.  They remind me of some gorgeous old hand-coloured postcards I have of caves in Colorado.

So here’s the end result of my needle-felting patches onto my husband’s moth-eaten cashmere sweater (he was kind enough to model it for me).  Look here for the “before.” Super fun.  Original idea is here.  I have another sweater to do as well… this time in a cooler palette.  Have you tried your own yet?

I am not someone who is tempted to get a calendar, since I rarely use a physical calendar these days thanks to iCal and my phone, but I really like this one.  I guess if you think about the fact that a calendar can be a piece of art as much as any other thing on your walls, then this is really quite perfect.

I just added some necklaces like this to ye olde shoppe…

This is a small collection of things that would make cool presents- some are limited edition, some are vintage.  I’ve also included a photo of my triangle necklaces because I do still have more of the vintage triangles left.  Sorry this is late in coming… I’m not too great with the whole gift guide thing, but here goes!

1. Bookhou tea cosie 2. The Looksee triangle necklace  3. A Detacher snake belt  4. Space Jam vintage carved wooden set  5. Efinegifts vintage ornament  6. Renilde DePeuter chair cushion 7. Future Perfect totem cups 8. Grounded hanging terrarium

These were just too sweet not to repost.  A very lovely stationary company.  Sometimes there’s nothing wrong with an old-fashioned floral, you know what I mean?
