Break Soap by Dave Hakkens is some kind of brilliant. Natural hand soap is formed into a block with different sized pieces, the dirtier your hands are the bigger the piece you break off. And since you don’t ever touch the entire block, everything is kept nice and hygienic. One block equals roughly ninety hand washes.
{Thanks, Anne!}

Photographs? Guess again. Lee Price creates photorealistic oil paintings, mainly of herself eating junk food, that explore body image, feminism, and cultural relationships with food. (Perhaps the Sartolialist should take note, eh?)

Tea towels are one of those things that I’m continually amassing, then wondering where they all came from. I love that it’s essentially an empty canvas of material that can be turned into an affordable piece of art. Then we display it on a hook or draped over the oven handle in our kitchen, and dry our dishes and our hands on it. A little under-appreciated, no? (Kidding!) I’ve got my eye on these beauties.

I’ve talked several times before about my love of/addiction to new notebooks. I’m not sure if it’s something related to designer/creative types or the just the more heavily organized side of my personality, but I love a clean slate. That first page is always the toughest, I don’t want to mar its vast white landscape with my writing. (Sometimes I skip it entirely. Shhh.) But after that it’s smooth sailing, and I can’t help but wonder what ideas will blanket its pages.

Moa baskets are handmade by Marcel Basau and Eva Marquerre. The team uses a techinique in which elastic yarn is woven on a wooden stretcher and covered in resin, then the stretcher is pressed down over a form and secured until dry. Voila, a basket is born.
