Hi and happy day to you! I hope you are all still a tiny bit full of chocolate and bunny love from the holiday weekend. Super(S)mart is on hold until the corner store gets going again with their wise-ness. So today I’m going to share some yummy vintage tabletop collections that I found while wandering [...]

The Life Science Library is an amazing series for those interested in how/why stuff works and the infinite coolness of how 1963 explains it. This one is on matter. All sorts. These are some of the pretty pictures. For the how/why I’m afraid you’ll have to hunt it down yourself. The Gravity of a drink. [...]

Austrian born designer/artist Walter Bosse created some of my all time favorite animalia sculptures. They are petite and perfect. The combination of polished versus patina lends a bold graphic style to these little critters that caters to my love of Mid-Century simplicity . If I ever feel compelled to become a serious collector of figurines, [...]
