Botulism is delicious

This sounds like a fun project for a wintry weekend...cakes baked in a jar. According to deliciousdays.com these cakes can be stored for quite a while as long as they are in a cool dark place. Does anyone have any experience with canned baked goods? Sounds scary to me!

Great post...great blog!

Let's say you want to know everything in the entire universe that is cool in home decor right now...but you only have 5 minutes and one post to look at (alright it's a stretch). Well, look no further than the "Trends 2007: Beachy Keen" post on delightful design blog decor 8. What a great post, with lots and lots (and lots) of links and references. Enjoy!

Breakfast decor-yum

Oh boy, there is a lot of breakfast food excitement a brewin over at notcot.org today...from the breakfast food pillows (shown above), to the alarm clock that awakens you with it's sound and smell of sizzling bacon...I'm getting really hungry. Might have to hit Waffle House on the way home!

Tiny garden

Everybody needs a plot of land to call their own, and this tiny garden from Pretty Good Goods is about as much land as I'm bound to own anytime soon. This kit comes with all the miniature goodies you might need to furnish your own little desktop oasis...well except dirt and plants. Happy planting!

Test print journals

Just the other day I came across an article online about test prints and the collectors market that goes along with them. Basically a test print is the paper they stick in the printing press to test that the image is going to work. Usually a printer will use the same piece of paper over and over leaving a really cool sort of mishmash of images behind. Apparently people collect these pieces and frame them up, but here the people from Hammerpress are using these to make cool one of a kind journals. They are available from one of my very favorite online retailers, curiosity shoppe.

Fun Frank fabrics

Loyal reader Aaron pointed me to this great resource for all things Scandinavian here in NYC. They have a truly fabulous selection of Josef Frank textiles for sale...many of these I've never even seen! The store is called Just Scandinavian, and it looks like you can contact them via phone to order if you happen to not live in the city. Check it out!

Stationary with a powerful message

Hee hee, this stationary speaks to my inner 11 year old. Get it? Guess what...chicken butt! Available from Young and With It.
