I don't have a Kindle, but I LOVE this. A perfect combo of analog and digital. Pretty pretty.

Bobble water bottle.


bobble is a stylish, patented reusable, water bottle that filters water as you drink. Bobble's filter removes chlorine and contaminants from municipal tap water giving you the experience of drinking crisp, clean portable, filtered water that has a cleaner, crisper taste and meets NSF International Standard 42 (the standard that governs public and private drinking water). bobble is made from recycled plastic and is free of BPA, Phthalates and PVC. A single bobble filter equates to at least 300 water bottles, which helps the environment more than a single-serve bottled water and without incurring the significant costs – environmental and monetary – associated with plastic water bottles.

Coolest paper goods ever? Possibly.

Tiny little serving trees.

How cute are these?? These tiny trees by Stéphanie Marin appear to just be prototypes. I hope they go into production. I'd LOVE one.





Tiny forest in raw natural wood, Party dishes in beech.
Small eating tree or bush to eat what you like.
It’s spring time now, and happiness of picking.

Smith Corona Portable USB Typewriter.






This is a Smith Corona Portable typewriter that has been modified with custom electronics to work as a standard USB keyboard.

The typewriter itself is in good condition, all keys work smoothly although there is one stuck key (the @ key). Also, the key registration is off (lines of text don't appear crooked on the page.) The ink is fresh and it does work as a regular typewriter in addition to being a USB keyboard.

Garden kits.

This is the time of year I really regret not having a patio or balcony to have a tiny garden. If I did, I'd be all over these garden kits from ReForm School.
