I would be so very happy if a set of these came to live at my house. My Pops has a walking stick that is painted in a similar style, though his is so old the paint has all but faded and the stick itself is broken in half. I loved it as a child, so of course I’m smitten with Cassandra’s antlers too. Via of Paper & Things and Seesaw.

It’s pretty much design bonanza week in Chicago right now. Between the HOW Design Conf, the Show ‘N Tell Show, and Creative Mornings, not to mention numerous meet-ups, art shows, and after-parties, my dance card is pretty well booked up for the rest of the week.

I’m still a little buzzing from this gender bias (see the post below) discussion too, I haven’t interacted so thoroughly on the internet like that at all before. I’m pretty happy with the results and yesterday I found this excellent article that actually has a really great solution to the problem: Mentorship.

+ I’m a MASSIVE fan of Dutch design (well the whole darn country is majorly kickass to be honest) but I received an email from The Submarine Channel linking to their profiles of several legendary Dutch names (like Droog & Wim Crouwel). Go, child, and be schooled in their mystical ways. And once you’re done, sign this international petition to stop their government from cutting arts funding. They have 30 years of some of the best government-supported culture in the world and I am sad to hear that it is under threat.

*Ack. So the embed code isn’t working, lame. Vimeo let me go through that whole process without telling me that I didn’t have embedding permission. All is not lost, I’ve emailed to see if I can get it. Stay tuned!

See you hip cats on Monday!

Everything, and I mean everything, about this tumblr is impressively handsome. The cars, cameras, and bikes especially.

* UPDATED: This tumblr doesn’t give any image credits, which is pretty lame. Isn’t that the whole point of image sharing online? I’m not going to delete my post for this though, because I’d rather leave it with a caveat and hope that maybe of owner of Convoy might take note and start crediting.*

Oh, yeah. My other blog that I write with Post 27! I forget to talk about that ‘un sometimes. Head over to read the interview I put together with my friend Attalie Dexter on her incredible jewelry line, Shades of Grey. Her one-of-a-kind pieces are available at Post 27, but won’t last so get at them!

Furniture and housewares from Merchant No. 4. I’m really glad those measuring spoons are out of stock because otherwise I would have had serious trouble practicing restraint on that purchase! Via Road Trip in Finland.
