Japanese Cast Iron Tea Set


This iron japanese tea set is awesome. I love the lime green color and the dot pattern on the pot and cups. So cool. I definitely want this tea set and perhaps a glass one too. I am a little shy of tea sets because I wonder if it stems from the fact that I use to collect miniature tea sets when I was younger.

"Let Love Bloom" Tea


When I first saw this tea I couldn't wait to try it. The blooms in the tea are so beautiful. I have got to try it out sometime. You can get some at www.taytea.com

Chess Sets



So I have been looking for chess sets and I have been looking for some designed my my favorite artists. Marcel Duchamp designed his own set. I would love to get one (or make one) and Man Ray also deigned one and I love what he came up with. That one is pictured without a board. I also really like the wobble chess set that I found. Very cool. But I really like the Man Ray one. Maybe I'll have to get the pieces custom made. The wobble chess set I believe is made by umbra.

Rococo Magnetized Frames


























This is a sweet frame. It's like 3 inches high and it would look great on a fridge. Great colors and is like a rubber plastic material. I really like the blue and lime green one. If you want one you can find it at http://www.modcloth.com/store//ModCloth/Apartment/Rococo+Magnetized+Frames?utm_medium=CJaffiliate&utm_campaign=CJ&utm_source=CJ

CAKEwich by Fred


Gosh, I saw this and I instantly wanted it. This is so cool. I want to make sandwich cakes all the time. Definitely on the wish list. Check it out at http://www.worldwidefred.com/cakewich.htm

Green Glass Drink Dispenser



I really like the green glass. Very awesome. I want to have a brass spigot with it. At glassbeveragedispenser.com you can find some other cool shapes to their dispensers as well as different spigots to put on the containers. It's pretty sweet for tea or lemonade, maybe even sangria.

Puch Magnum Motorcylce


I found the motorcycle I want. It is made by Puch. It would be their Magnum from the late 70's. I found a lot of fixer upper one's. Not many that are fixed up and ready to buy. But it could be really fun to fix one up. I love it in red with the white decal. In the black and white photo I like that seat better, but I like the lower handle bars on the bottom photo. Very cool.

Ikea Hemnes Dresser



I haven't decided which one I like better in color and shape. I think I would have to be there in person to decide. I really like these ones though. Also I think I might change out some if not all the handles for ones from anthropologie. I know Ikea is pretty much assemble yourself but I think it would be kind of fun. Probably because I have never done one. Still pretty awesome though. Visit http://www.ikea.com/ if you want to check it out.

Cargo Naturals by Resource International






















Love 'em. These are some sweet storage boxes I found that I want to get for photos and pencils and papers. This is a great looking way to store my stuff. This is my favorite color but they come in a variety of colors. Just go on and google "Cargo Naturals." Sweet Find.

Emergency by Neil Strauss

Not only did the design of the cover draw me first to this book after reading a bit about it I am really interested in reading it. But since I can't comment on the content of the book so far I must say that the design of the cover is awesome. It's doing its job for sure.

Bicycle Playing Cards





I have quite a few different kinds of decks I want that Bicycle makes. There is the yellow one, the yellow and black one, the Black deck, the ghost deck and the purple one.

Antique Coin Banks

My grandpa use to have an antique metal coin bank, so I have an attraction to these fun little banks. They always seemed to work like magic when I was younger. In my search for the coin bank or something like it I found this one. This is one of my favorites, I think the movement would be really fun. Some of these are kinda hard to find so have fun searching.

Zippo Lighters


I am a big fan of Zippo and I was trying to find a sweet lighter and I found the two winners. I love the detail on this brass lighter. I have similar patterns on my metal wallet. I would leave it with no engraving. Very cool. The tall zippo is another awesome lighter I have wanted. I got one for a gift exchange this last christmas and I wish I had got a second for myself. Check them out at http://www.duckworthsuk.com/ and http://www.zippo.com/products/candle-lighters.aspx?bhcp=1

Dolores Chiller by Timbuk2


I saw this and I instantly wanted it. The top zip closed and then the flap folds over it. It is a really "cool" cooler. I like the colors too. Very American. :) If you want to buy it check it out at http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/products/messenger/dolores-cooler

Washbasin + Watercloset by Roca


This is one really cool sink and toilet combo. I think it would work really well in a small bathroom. Love the design. Check this out at http://www.roca.com.es/ww/index.html?en

Boxed Water is Better

This is as cool as canned bread. I am so use to seeing bottles upon bottles of water that this was kind of an eye catcher. Even with people becoming more environmentally conscious it seems that more companies are moving to plastic. Anyway, these are pretty cool. http://boxedwaterisbetter.com/hello/

Silver Playing Cards

I really love playing cards. I am trying to always be on the look out for cool playing cards. These silver cards caught my eye. They're awesome. http://www.kikkerland.com/

Bulldog Bottle Opener (also by Kikkerland)


So if you reside in Boise, ID I first saw these at the Flying M Coffee Shop. These are really cool. They also make a bear one but I personally like the Bulldog the best. This would make a fun gift. Way cool. http://www.kikkerland.com/

Candle Holder Flashlight by Kikkerland


Oh man, when I saw this... This is so neat. I love the function and style put together. I want this flashlight. I am only hoping it's metal. If it was plastic I would want it to be pretty convincing in person. Very cool. http://www.kikkerland.com/

Endangered Species Eraser by Kikkerland

This is a really cool eraser. I like the Red Rhino but they also have a Green Gorilla and a Blue polar Bear. I want a little rhino to keep watch at my desk. Kikkerland is one of my favorite companies. They have a lot of cool and creative things. You can find this guy and others at http://www.kikkerland.com/

Digital Clock (made from wood) made by SUCK UK

This is one cool clock. I like the minimalist look to it. No fuss, just time. Though it's not practical in the fact it doesn't have a bunch of gadgets with it but it is for sure chic. Check it out at http://www.suck.uk.com/product.php?rangeID=41
