happy 4th, and snapshot friday

pssst. i really want to believe that all my wailing and moaning from yesterday’s post helped to turn the power back on, but i think it was just practical hard work by the electric company. thank you electric company! we came back up last night and that tension that made my shoulders go up to my ears is receding. i wish you all a happy holiday and a lovely weekend. thank you for coming around! xo

ewetube vases by lichen

looks like i am on a roll opining about things today and i shall continue with these fun felted merino wool vases, cleverly named ewetubes, from seattle designer brandon perhacs for his lichen studio. i love the funky shapes and color choices and how the test tube forces you to keep it minimal, arrangement-wise.

purchase these pieces at lichen’s supermarket shop, and see more funky felty things at the lichen website.

marcel wanders’ skygarden lamp

marcel wanders, reflecting on his lovely plaster aluminum alloy and glass skygarden pendant lamp:

“in my former house i had a fabulous antique decorated plaster ceiling. i called it my skygarden, it always looked good and it didn’t need water or sun but would live only on the warm rays of the electrical light under it.”

find it in four colors at hive.
