Of a Kind: Earhart Carry Case
Have I told you yet that I am OBSESSED with Of a Kind? I teeter between being so excited when the emails pop up to praying that I won't want the inevitably awesome item. I mean I TRY to be good.
Well today I caved. This did me in: Earhart Carry Case by Materials and Process
I almost didn't even share this, becuase I don't want you to get addicted. And also becuase I'm a little selfish and I don't want you to buy them all up before I cave and enter my credit card number! (It happend once before) :)

Black, White, and Leather Sandals from Anthropologie
If these Paso Fino Sandals from Anthropologie didn't look so similar to the Jeffrey Campbell ones that I already bought, I would order these in a heartbeat. So, so good.

Carlo Van De Roer Orbs
I am very excited to have just ordered these two prints by Carlo Van De Roer from 20x200. I absolutely love being in water, especially the ocean. I am a pisces after all (in every way possible), so it's pretty fitting. So these prints really speak to me. I absolutely love the artist's statement:
The term “orb” is typically used to describe circular artifacts in photographs-artifacts which have been interpreted by some as spirits. Despite being debunked and explained (most commonly as backscatter from precipitation or dust), there’s a surprisingly widespread belief that orb photographs document the supernatural. There are organizations, conferences, hunts, field experts, detectors and websites dedicated to spiritualist orb photography.
This photographic search for something larger than ourselves was the starting point for this project. I photographed people in landscapes that are partly obscured by precipitation. The subjects are seen searching for or interacting with orbs, which are represented as dots covering parts of the scene.Orb 5 (Long Island, New York) and Orb 3 (Blue Lagoon, Reykjavik, Iceland) by Carlo Van de Roer.

Automated Colour Field by Rebecca Baumann, made from flip clocks and colored paper...so cool. I would love to have this at my house, I have a feeling I could watch it for hours.

Awesome Staircase
This might be the coolest staircase I've ever seen. It looks like it would be a little rough on bare feet, but I love it anyway.
