TODAY'S POST ON DESIGN SPONGE


yesterday i heard from a bazillion people asking “did you hear about the ipad?!?!” so this morning i’ve got mac products on the brain. normally i’m pretty simple when it comes to lugging my macbook around (throw in bag, shove 2 scarves on either side to keep it from slamming into things) but when i heard from ashley at hither and thither about these cool “book covers” for your laptop i was instantly intrigued.



made of distressed leather, each “bookbook” is unique and is designed with dual zippers with leather pulls that look like bookmarks on first glance. you can keep your macbook charged while it’s protected because of the dual zippers (zip them to one side and leave a small space for your cord to plug in) or zip it up and carry it with you. i absolutely LOVE the idea of hiding your computer (something i never like looking at, despite its sleek design) inside of a book that looks like its been around for ages. for me, this is the perfect way to house something that looks a little too sleek and modern to match the rest of my house. click here for more information on bookbook and to place an order ($79.99). i think i may have to break out my credit card and make one of these my own. thanks to ashley for the tip!

AFFINITY FOR MUSHROOMS

My husband gets mushroom fever every spring, in effect, I notice mushrooms everywhere. I never knew there were so many kinds, real or fake. I thought these were pretty cool!

GREAT PLANTERS

I saw these on http://paradisexpress.blogspot.com/ this morning. So funny, I wonder where they found the heads?
I can't remember where I saw these but I can just picture them on my mom's back porch; although, Jim has baned her from buying any more planters! They are so cool because they fit together like a puzzle. Better hope she doesn't ever come across them at the garden center.

NEWSPAPER AND UTENSILS

Oh, my gosh! This fish is made from newspaper and plastic forks. How cool is that?
The peacock is made from newspaper, chopsticks and plastic spoons. I guess I should start saving my recycling materials.
