Dove pillows.
Not that I would EVER pay $180 for a pillowcase - but these are absolutely lovely.

Patrick Jacobs’ Magnified Portals into Miniature Worlds | Colossal
These dioramas are mindboggling.
Artist Patrick Jacobs creates small dioramas embedded in gallery walls, encased in magnifying lenses with a diameter as small as three inches. The effect is uncanny, focusing the viewers attention on the absolute tiniest of spaces containing lush green fields, cramped apartment paces, and clumps of small mushrooms. The pieces can take several weeks to complete, though one installation has consumed his spare time for over two years. Jacobs was born in California in 1971, attended the Art Institute of Chicago and now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. If you want to learn more head over to Charles and Ford to read a fantastic interview including some great imagery.

Klaus Pichler: Skeletons in the closet
Klaus Pichler spent three years roaming around behind the scenes and under the plastic of the Museum of Natural History, taking photos. In November 2012, the museum is hosting an exhibition of the photographs. Brilliant.

Cheap DIY clip frames.
Do you (like I do) have a closet full of prints and artwork that've been there for ages because you can't bite the spendy bullet to get it framed?
You might want to check out DIY Picture Framing – they have good ol' glass clip frames on the cheap. I finally got around to framing a few 18x24 prints that I've had for ages (like the Public School print, above, and this Skinny Ships print). Two frames = $36 with shipping.
I feel so much better.

Twiggy snowman.
Not that I have any desire to think about Christmas or snow yet – these are just pretty adorkable.
This bone china snowman has real twigs as arms. It can sit as a table decoration amongst other festive foliage or hung on a tree as a bauble. All individually different with its own twiggy character.
