Vintage Tumblers (set of 4)

I like these- the two styles manage to compliment each other and make the regular ol’ drinking glass a little more interesting.

“Each glass is decorated with a vintage style goblet design, they’re the modern glasses with a vintage flair. Glasses measure 3″ in diameter and 6″ tall.”

Set of 4, dishwasher safe.

Verse Rug

For anyone who liked the Manuscrit Rug we posted a while ago, this one is similar in style, but at a much lower price point. Sure, it doesn’t have the detailing or the nice story behind it, but when you’re on a budget sometimes saving money wins out.

“Ink black esoteric prose scrawls oversized in contrast on ivory. Soft primo 100% bikaner wool is hand-tufted, then bound by hand on each side for extra durability.”

Parallel Bookend U Shape

These powder-coated bookends are great for shelves and also would be great for keeping some books or even some manila file folders at arms reach on a desktop. At 8″ high, the files would fit perfectly if you had enough.

Available in black, white and red.

Butterfly Rug by Peace Industry

Buying a rug can be a difficult process- they’re usually very expensive and there are so many options to sort through…so, on that note, here’s another one to consider (that might just be the perfect choice)- it’s neutral but has an interesting design with colors to pull out when the mood strikes you…the credentials of the company are worth noting as well: you’ll be buying a product that is made in a responsible way.

“Made from wool that’s chosen for its strength and durability, Peace Industry rugs are naturally stain-resistant and the high content of lanolin protects them from foot traffic and wear and tear. Over time, the rugs will continue to soften and the colors will brighten. The Raissinas have a strong commitment to the environment and Fair Trade practices – the felting process requires no chemicals or toxins, and they guarantee that no worker is paid sub-living wages.”

Each is made by hand and therefore unique.

100% wool; vegetable dyes.

Stealth Watch by Daniel Jakobsson

I haven’t gone berserk over a watch in a long time, but this is so simple and cool that I’m sort of verklempt.

Frost Watch White

“All watches tell time; the best watches tell a lot about you. The clockmaker designs elegant timepieces that make big, bold statements about the wearer. Driven by the aesthetic principle “when art becomes a timepiece without costing a fortune,” the manufacturer has designed a line of unisex fashion watches that command attention. These designer masterpieces are available to you in a wide assortment of styles and distinctive wrist bands.

The opaque frosted crystal echoes the look and feel of a crisp Nordic winter. Like an elegant skater, the hands carve out time as they sweep across the watch face.

Capsule Necklace

“Don’t play with guns. Don’t do drugs. Instead…Toy Me! Milan designer Georgo Phillip Pecenikov (a.k.a. Gogo) comes from a family of traditional high-end jewelry makers, but he uses his knowledge to create edgy, clean and modern pieces that are a world away from the fru-fru of high fashion. This necklace takes the form of a capsule, cast in silver, plated with rhodium (the most expensive and reflective of the precious metals) and gold, and decorated with a crystal. What makes it extra special is that the capsule can be opened, concealing what? A secret message? A painkiller for emergencies? Whatever “your poison.”

100% silver chain.
