Forgive me, Father

I'm just going to go ahead and say that at this very moment, my.. favourite(?)... deadly sin is greed. And THIS is what I want:


...a collection of fragrant candles, each of which is said to evoke one of the seven deadly sins...


Is that really so bad??

back to the basics

Anyone who has spent... any(?!).. amount of time with me is most likely aware of the fact that I CAN.. NOT... keep track of my pens. (Either that or I unwittingly chew them until they leak all over my white scrubs. On the job, no less.) Either way. I mean, really.. last year I went through 39 writing utensils in one semester. I'm telling you: it's bad.

That said, I do recall a time in 9th grade where I bought a Blink 182 pen, and because it was just that important, I got a good nine month's use out of it before I lost it.

Maybe I could do that again. I mean, for THIS little guy(?):

it's all in the font (either that or the way it looks in my bookshelf..)


With three more books and a birthday on their way (hint!?), I'd say my collection is coming along QUITE nicely. Favourite so far? Package Design. Then again, how could it not be?! You'd be able to sell me a hot dog under the pretense it was a Daschund (if you really wanted to) so long as it had a nice bow around its neck... What can I say.. I'm visual! I mean, I even have Concrete Design on my wishlist these days. Now THAT's what I call good design...

shrug!

ringing 2009 in right

I lost my AMT Bling Blink ring again last week.. the second one, that is. =/ And in the time between searching my apartment high and low (I won't admit to how many hours may or may not have been accumulated) and then finding it on the wide open floor just beneath my coffee table (how embarrassing?!) I entertained the thought of upgrading (downgrading?) to these little guys:


Cut from a stainless steel sheet, these seven ready-to-pop rings come complete with one small hand file... err, piece of sandpaper.. to round the edges once the ring has been removed. Call me crazy, but I think they're rather engaging. A $99 I would have been more than willing to spend had I not found my original. Maybe in a few months' time..

dreams come true



I can't tell you how many hours of my childhood (and now, even adulthood..) have been spent fantasizing about what it would be like to live in a world (or, at the very least, be guided through a series of rooms) where chandeliers sprouted from the floorboards and archways lent themselves to peculiar although altogether enchanting "forks in the road" (if you will). Well, Viktor & Rolf, you do not disappoint (you never do). It's every bit as magical as I imagined it to be from the very first time I pictured, upside down, our humble mobile home.. and then years later, that elaborate Catholic church.


A walk through this boutique, please? It's really all I have left to ask.

not that I have ever even USED oil & vinegar, but...

For the past year or two I have had my eye on these double-walled cruets:



...but today I found this little gem for all of $1:


A pleasant alternative if you ask me!
