The Poster List.
The Poster List. One page. One in-house production team. One place to buy. Tons of amazing posters on the cheap.

Molasses-Spice Cake.
With my favorite time of the year finally upon us, I can’t think of a more perfect fall-like dessert than this Molasses-Spice Cake. Yum.

Apple Wireless Keyboard.
How sexy is the new Apple Wireless Keyboard? It’s been completely redesigned, inside and out and is ultra-thin. It also has new function keys for play/pause, fast-forward and rewind, Expose, and Dashboard. Bluetooth lets you use it anywhere within 30 feet of your Mac. The keyboard automatically powers down when you’re not using it and turns on as soon as you start typing. It also has an on/off switch for when you’re away from your computer for a long time.
Tell me more!

molo float.
molo, a Vancouver-based design studio, is dedicated to exploring materials and space making. Their float line of products is a great representative of that idea. float is a line of thermal-resistant glassware designed with simple forms and clean lines to emphasize anything served within. The suspended bowl design also performs the function of insulating your hand from the beverage. Pictured above are the float tea cups and float champagne flutes.

Avian Carafes.
I’ve never served wine out of anything other than a bottle. Well, except for the occassional box. None the less I adore these Avian Carafes at Wisteria. One is extremely duck-like while the other remains a bit more classical in shape and design.

PaPaYa.
PaPaYa specializes in world-influenced artwork – sort of a fusion of global culture and modern times if you will. Run by mother-daughter team Anahata and Gina Katkin, PaPaYa is a melting pot of “creative abandon” with the end goal of creating arts and goods. The visual collage techniques used by Gina are incredibly beautiful. I’m in love with the mongram letters.

Gloji.
I think I’m coming down with a cold (sore throat, achy ears, all that good stuff). Perhaps something that claims it has the “power of the most potent antioxidant known to man” could help me out a little bit.
Gloji harvests the “power” of the goji berry to create one powerful drink available in two different mixes – Glogi Mix which is a combo of goji berries and pomagranate and Gloji Gold which seems to be liquid health or something thisclose to it.
It’s actually all about the packaging. Any brand brazen enough to package their product in a lightbulb-shaped bottle has my vote.

Betsy Dunlap Calligraphy.
I’ve always had a thing for handwriting. Sadly, I take pride when someone tells me my all-caps printing looks like a typewriter. That’s where it ends though. I’m definitely no Betsy Dunlap. She has a variety of intricate, detailed caligraphic styles which I could never even hope to imitate. You, however, can purchase her services for invitations, menus, etc.
(Thanks design*sponge!)

Sushi-Rolling Machine.
Sushi is a big time weakness of mine. I could eat it once a day, every day. I’ve been in the process of learning how to make the little rolls of goodness myself and getting the roll to be tight enough is where the biggest problem lies. Well, that and getting the right stickiness of the rice.
Last week my prayers were answered – in the form of a toy no less. Check out this sushi-rolling machine by toy manufacturer Bandai Namco. It’s so simple – just put in seaweed, rice and the ingredients of your choice, turn the lever and you have sushi. It’s that easy.
Now I think I need to go and have a sushi party.
