Cooper Kitty Camera!

Best idea ever! Cooper the Cat of the Greenwood neighborhood in Seattle has been rigged with a camouflaged kitty camera that automatically take a picture every two minutes! 

Through his Flickr account you can view life through Cooper's eyes. Cooper spends his time watching his owners, looking at the sky, and checking out home security signs. 

It's a beautiful thing. 

He's even appearing on Animal Planet tonight!

Hoaken/Helga Repurposed Accessories

If I had the money...this would be my new favorite bag....I'm kind of a red flannel-o-holic so it's pretty much ideal. 

I do have to choose my flannel wisely however. I don't exactly want to be covered in it after all. 

Hoaken /Helga offers beautiful handmade accessories as well. Especially this feather necklace, it's a great statement piece and very fantastical. 

Carla from Heartisans Art Prints

Carla from Heartisans= daydreamy days and night compressed into works of art. These prints (only $25!) are magic. I just want to surround myself with them and wait to drift into a new appreciation of nature. Don't you?

Robin Barcus "Green" Dresses

Who new that corn husks and sticks would make such beautiful dresses?! Robin Barcus created a series of dresses out of all natural objects and then displayed them on models in the material's natural environment. The result is stunning...the woman in the water bringing up a real life image of the Lady of Shallot. 

"And down the river's dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance --
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott."

-Lord Alfred Tennyson

Penguin Book Classics

I'm sure you're all familiar with Penguin Books especially their classics. And maybe, if you've wandered into Urban Outfitters as of late, you've seen that there's quite a large selection of Penguin classics with surprising cover makeovers. Judging by the covers Crime and Punishment or Pride & Prejudice seem like quirky, modern reads. I've even been tempted to by a few that I already own just for the cover art. 

Well...this week I stumbled upon the UK Penguin Blog, which is so super cute and read an interview about one of the artists designing a new set of hardcover classics. To my disappointment they aren't yet offered in the US but hopefully that will change soon. My recommendations? The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde and Wuthering Heights by Emile Bronte. 

The artist Coralie Bickford-Smith has also designed a series of classic boys adventure books...the best cover? She. 

Rune Gunderiussen

First of all "Rune"...best name ever. Secondly, drool-worthy art....I feel like I'm entering into some kind of mythical Alice in Wonderlandly world where lamps grow on trees to light your way or direct you on the path to your destiny. 

Ancient Ruins of the Cloud People of Peru

First I'd like to say sorry my absence of late. It's the last week of fall quarter and I haven't felt right about procrastinating on Blogger. Although, I do have a lot of things to share since I've been bookmarking all the wonderful wonders I've found over the past few weeks. 

So let's begin with some exciting news......Archeologists have recently discovered the ruins of the legendary Cloud People of Peru hidden deep in the Amazon rainforest! I love hearing that there are still mysteries on this earth waiting to be discovered. I can't even imagine stepping out of a dense rainforest into a clearing and seeing this ancient city looming ahead of you. So magical in all its secretive, mysterious glory. 

If you would like to check out the article I found on the discovery visit this link.
