trophy hangers by phil cuttance

i needed a laugh today and i got it in new zealand designer phil cuttance’s jocular (and functional!) resin animal hangers, a twist on the idea (and continuing trend) of traditional animal head trophies. in phil’s interpretation, the fronts and the backs of the animals are equally important to display.

the hangers are sold in sets of two for $50 at charles and marie. choose from hippo, moose or giraffe styles. teehee.

see more design work from phil on his website.

fun and clever popmat placemats

oh how i love these popmats — placemats with pop up placecards built right into the clever design! simply pop and fold the cut out up to designate where people will be seated - so easy! they’re made of heavyweight paper in a lovely cream color and are 13″ x 17″. choose from a birdcage with chair, fencepost mailbox or leafy little tree.

available in sets of ten for $25 at charles and marie, but take heed - this is the daily special and will not be on sale for too much longer. hop to it if you really want ‘em!

a stylish load of whites (round up)

i was admiring my deep, dark, tropical tan in the mirror today and decided to get rid of everything in my closet and wear white exclusively.

well, not really. but i do think a few items for the house wouldn’t hurt:

this cool porcelain trivet from charles & marie looks just like the necklace that wilma flintstone used to wear, and can be twisted to form a figure 8 or a double circle, to accommodate a variety of pots and plates.

i love these plaster cupcakes from small stump. they are currently sold out of them on their etsy shop, but check out their other supercute things!

these decadent bouquets from flowerbud feature tons of fresh, gorgeous stems. buy two and send one to a friend!

make a powerful statement with bestow, this resin wall piece, cast from the own hand of modernist designer harry allen. find it at elsewares.
