Skeem Design.

2-in-1 products are the best. (Okay, not 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, but I’ll save that battle for another day.) Skeem Design falls under the favorable category. As in their candles are poured into stunningly silk-screened vessels that are reusable as drinking glasses once you’re done burning the candle. And their beautifully designed eau de parfums double as room sprays. Love it.

Harry.

I completely and totally 100% heart Harry. I’d love him to be in charge of my favorite necklaces and baubles!

“Harry’s fun, unconventional yet functional design will creatively hold and organize your everyday, conventional stuff. His 100’s of flexible and sturdy wire “hooks” will allow you to form them to fit your needs, providing the foundation to creatively organize and hold your stuff. Just mount Harry or Harry Jr. securely to the wall or other flat surface using the provided suction cups or screws.”

Mini Meal Planners + Recipe Jotters.

A lovely little meal planner. Eight weeks or 56 days worth to be exact, each separated by a different patterned paper. For those of us who need to plan ahead in order to not eat cereal every night after work. (Guilty as charged.)

And equally lovely recipe jotters. A ring bound book with 16 hand-stamped 3″x5″ recipe cards. Use them for your favorites or your “I have to write this down now”s.

We Feel Fine.

We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale engineered by Jonathan Harris and Sepandar Kamvar. I could spend hours pouring over the beautiful words and images.
“Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world’s newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the “feeling” expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved.”

“At its core, We Feel Fine is an artwork authored by everyone. It will grow and change as we grow and change, reflecting what’s on our blogs, what’s in our hearts, what’s in our minds. We hope it makes the world seem a little smaller, and we hope it helps people see beauty in the everyday ups and downs of life.
