Retro Gaming For The Garden

These gameboy bricks would make a really interesting accent for your garden or uhh...other outdoor relaxation space. I would love to see some of the other colored ones in action and I think the pale green ones would be particularly beautiful against foliage (possibly even weeds).

Silverfish Aquarium

The Silverfish Aquarium is the coolest aquarium I've ever seen. It has multiple spheres that are connected by little tunnels that sort of remind me of the tunnels in those really elaborate hamster cages (which also happen to be pretty cool looking).

Howl's Moving Castle Papercraft

Wow, look at this Howl's Moving Castle papercraft project from Paperkraft.net! (If you're not familiar with Howl's Moving Castle, it's one of my favorite animated movies by Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli. If you're not familiar with Studio Ghibli perhaps you should watch some of the movies from this list to find out more!)

Cute Matches From Japan

This post about Japanese packaging is pretty neat. I really love the panda matches! So cute.

Sarah Coventry Pins

I don't make many posts about vintage jewelry but I felt that I should after finding these beautiful Sarah Coventry pins. Below is a lucite apple pin (c. 1950) and a "nature's pearl" brooch. I couldn't find a really decent page about the history of Sarah Coventry jewelry but here's a link to their "story" from their site. It seems that women would sell Sarah Coventry jewelry from their homes (like Avon, Mary Kay, etc.) from 1949-1984.

HUGE Ice Cream Lamp

This ice cream lamp is HUGE and fun! Did I mention that it's HUGE? My only complaint is that I'm pretty sure it only comes in white/vanilla right now but that isn't really that important to me. Mmmm lamp.

Raygun Remote Control

I want this so badly! This raygun remote control is the coolest and even though it makes sounds of its own when you change the channel I think it would be just as cool if it was silent...isn't half the fun making your own sound effects? Fuh-SHOOM! FSHOOM-SHOOM! Okay, my sounds effects suck, but you get the idea.

USB Chameleon

I'm just a tiny bit biased since I love lizards but this little USB toy is one of the coolest I've seen. This USB chameleon flicks its tongue at you and rolls its eyes and he just clings to your monitor happily while you go about your business. He doesn't really "do" a whole lot besides entertain you and keep you company (but that's all a USB toy really has to do, right?).

Dinosaur Necklace

You can advertise that you're at the top of the foodchain with this dinosaur skeleton necklace from Tatty Devine!

James The Bookend

James The Bookend is a really neat way to keep your books from falling over. He may seem like he's struggling but I assure you that he has the situation under control.
