Treasure: Wooden iPhone/iPod Dock

|

This beautiful piece - along with the iPhone itself - is going on my "I will buy all of these things when I have money to burn" list. It is yet another hand made gem I found on Etsy.

The wood is cedar, so you know it smells awesome. The design is simple, pretty - "nature chic", if you will. It is compatible with the iPhone 3g and all iPod devices. Except for the Shuffle. I have a Shuffle and nothing cool is compatible with the Shuffle.

It will set you back $78. Pricey, yes, but not completely unreasonable for a functional hand made piece.

Treasure: 1984 Fishbowl

Named after the novel 1984 by George Orwell, this futuristic fishbowl by Danny Cheung provides a little bit of well-deserved privacy for your gilled friend. The glass areas are magnified, so you can get a good look at your fish whenever he or she decides to make an appearance.

Plus, it just looks awesome, and it would go with almost any decor. You and your fishie may have to sacrifice for a while to afford it, though. It costs $430.00.

I'm a sucker for pretty much anything that has deer on it, and these Fawn Coasters by Joshua Stone are no exception. They're made of industrial felt, which seems to be all the rage right now, and the fawn is hand silk screened.

What else can I say? They're simple, peaceful, and completely adorable.

You can never have too many coaster sets, by the way. It's important to have one for every occasion. Be sure to check out the awesome selection of coaster sets and other barware over at Vat19!

Sunprints are seriously magic. All you need to create these unique photographs, also called cyanotypes, are sunlight, light-sensitive paper, water, and whatever object you want to photograph (leaves, coins, flowers, etc). The Sunlight Print Kit includes the light-sensitive paper, instruction/project booklet, templates, and a pen for marking your photographs. Mother Nature will provide the sunlight, water, and your inspiration. Here are a couple examples:
