Etsy Tuesday : Neilsen Handmade Physics Journal
This. Is. Awesome! Using discard books and recycled paper, these journals from Neilsen Handmade are handcrafted, collaged, and stitched to make some pretty snazzy pads of paper. I just love the layout of this cover, the title, and that spider web type stitching at the bottom. Fantastic!
Over-priced (but sweet) Plaid Shirt at UO
Though I would never pay $48 for a shirt (probably), let alone a plaid button-down shirt (definitely), I can appreciate this for the lovely plaid, though it has only regular old buttons, opposed to the snaps, of which I thoroughly enjoy. Cheers!
“Pixie & The Bear” by Chris Merritt
So I was privileged to be talked into going to see Chris Merritt last spring with some friends from good ‘ole Springfield, MO, and it was one of the best decisions to skip a roller skating venture to go to the show instead that I’ve ever made! (that sentence was confusing). Chris is an amazing...
Moustache Plank : Mr. Zygote
This made me laugh out loud: Taking an 8ft plank of wood, affixing a moustache, and creating “hip & knee” joints, it has become one cool wooden friend. Way to go, Mr. Zygote. Found Via It’s Nice That.

Sweet Gifs
Ok, so I stumbled upon something awesome today while searching for illustration that stirred the tiny 12 year old from 1997 inside of my heart. Sweet GIFs is a magical place where the spirit of the Hamster Dance lives on. Created by the guys behind Rainbow Dropshadow, these hypnotic gifs, titled like its ’99, are...
Merry Christmas, Chia Pets.
In a classic time when the “Clapper” was still something you could buy via a toll-free number and Empire Carpet ads still featured real people, the Chia Pet was really that gift that supposedly everyone got, but no one really wanted-like an 80′s equivalent to the fruit cake. However, one small Hoosier always dreamed of...
