The Great Coat Hunt.

It’s finally getting to be coat weather around here! Most Novembers in Oklahoma are filled with lingering 70º days, but this one has been perfect. Highs in the 50s and low 60s, leaves that are almost sort of changing colors instead of going directly to dead brown, and a little bit of overcast dreariness thrown in for good measure. I’ll take it. I’ll also take one each of these coats. Have I never mentioned what a coat whore I am? Oh. Sorry.

2011 Calendar Roundup: Part 8.

Preemptive Disclaimer: I did not realize there were going to be so many killer calendars for 2011! I hope I haven’t inundated you with dates, but it looks as though there will be one more after this and then I’ll leave you all alone until next year.

Let Them Eat Scones.

Scones are incredibly versatile and easy to make. They’re a breeze to take with you for a fast breakfast or to bake up on a weekend morning which is usually what I’m looking for in a breakfast recipe. And they always, always impress.  (PS: Forget all of the hype about scone pans, you really just need your hands and a knife.)

The Whole Story.

Talk about a conversation starter. The Whole Story photo albums by Debra Folz are both sculptural and a place to store your memories.

Photographs today are stored and accessed digitally, and viewed one frame at a time. These photo albums were designed to fall off the shelf and land in your life, living amongst you the way the memories do, in between the spaces of everyday, yesterday, and tomorrow. A hybrid of traditional bookbinding techniques and contemporary engineering, they stand independently due to a reinforced front and back cover. A removable binding allows the books contents to be expanded, allowing you to view your whole story.

Paper Pot.

Anyone who knows-me-knows-me also knows that I’m usually attached to a tissue. (Or a paper towel, or a napkin…) But, as a rule, tissue boxes are completely unattractive. Floral motifs, holograms, faux marble… seriously? I’m feeling the need to invest in a Paper Pot. It can be used for either tissues or toilet paper and is completely functional, yet unassuming.
