inside out collection

Since we're still celebrating...

I try to avoid stemmed glasses whenever possible, but am always tempted by their contents. Now, thanks to Alissia at AMT, I can have my cake and eat it too. And if champagne's not your thing, check out their Inside Out martini glasses.

'Tis the morning for sharing.

I hope one of you received these.

I love this!
Love seats by osmosis.
What a creative duo, that Yvonne Fehling and Jennie Peiz.

Studio Pieter Stockmans

Piet Stockmans set up his studio in 1987 to, as he says, "underline his personal activities." Today it houses an extensive catalogue of beautifully unadorned and seemingly paper-thin ceramics. Each piece feels as if it were painstakingly crafted for one specific, sacred purpose and Stockmans appears to have every possible purpose covered: from cups to jewelry to art-for-art's-sake, he's got 'em all.

David Shrigley

I consider coming across David Shrigley's artwork one of those happy accidents. This is also an appropriate way to describe the impression that his actual art pieces give. They somehow manage seem both naive and extra clever at the same time. Some of his photos made me laugh out loud, but don't think that he sets limits with a camera, he has a whole slew of other projects with which to impress you.

recycled map stationary

While conducting my map search I also stumbled across these gorgeous things. You can't fold them in your glove box or use them on a road trip, but they sure would be fun to get in the mail! Unfortunately eco-artware is temporarily out of stock. Maybe this can be our petition.
Design-conscious writers unite!

stone bath mat

I hate traditional terry bath mats: they're soggy, impossible to keep clean, and probably the cause of the black bathroom mold epidemic (sounds likely). My best replacement so far had been one of those slated wooden mats. Good, but not perfect. Now that I've found this stone bath mat at Viva Terra, I am in bathroom bliss! It looks great doing its job AND it massages your feet a little. Yes!
