Market Totes

Market Totes are now on sale at Articulture and coming soon to Etsy. Some are lined and some are not. This is a personal fave; it has leather handles for comfort.

OOOMS Rocker

OOOMS, a dutch design firm, created a kit to turn almost any chair into a rocker. Love.

Piet Indoor Stove

Look what I found on Kitsune Noir...the Piet Indoor Stove. It is designed to burn ethanol and produces zero smoke, thereby eliminating the need for a chimney. Oh how cozy...

Frozen Records

Artist Claudia Marzendorfer creates frozen records. Neat.

bedlam

Adam snapped these photos at the Bedlam Theater this weekend.
Good times were had by all.
I saw this swell musician. His live performance was a heart beat raiser.
We danced and made merry late Saturday.
The best part was when everyone on the dance floor danced as one and when Mark became the leader, he led everyone through a ninja roll. A ninja roll! Everyone did it simultaneously without hesitation! Luckily, I was on a dancing break and got to witness this gem. Seriously, how did that happen so perfectly? I wish I had a video.
Good job, Mark.
