Need: Stackable Tetris Lamp
Need: Stackable Tetris Lamp:
As if the completed puzzle wasn’t cool enough, the fact that they are individual bricks that actually light up when connected to other bricks makes this lamp incredible. This means you can rearrange it every day if you want.
On the downside, it won’t be available for sale until September.

Soap Shaped Like Nintendo Cartridges
Soap Shaped Like Nintendo Cartridges:
Imagine the look of horror on your friend’s face when you take that copy of Chrono Trigger he’s been looking for all these years and proceed to wash your hands with it, the cartridge literally melting away before his eyes!
These cleverly designed Nintendo cartridge shaped soaps are for guests only, and they’re not meant for insertion into any slots, console or personal or otherwise, so please don’t get any sick ideas about playing human gaming console in the shower!
geode trinket box
geode trinket box:
I spent a chunk of my afternoon yesterday organizing our photo props, craft supplies and various bits & bobs into IKEA storage bins (I even got to bust out my vintage typewriter to make the labels). I spent an inordinate amount of time ogling the beads and glue-on jewels we got from Tinsel Trading. They make up one heck of a magical box and are almost too pretty to use. Because they’ve tipped me into “jewel crazy” land, this little bauble box seems perfect. Tiny, sparkly and made from a one-of-a-kind geode, it’s the perfect place to hide (or display) a treasured piece of jewelry or just a little (each box is around two to three inches in size) something special. Click here to check out the various styles and place an order for a special TGIF gift. xo, grace
Blueberry Muffin Top Cookie Recipe
Blueberry Muffin Top Cookie Recipe:
Everyone knows the best part of a muffin is the top. I always save the top for last. Well, Iowa Girl Eats suggests that we “stop wasting muffin stumps.” I agree! Let’s give these Blueberry Muffin Top Cookies a try and see if they are, in fact, just like muffin tops. According to Iowa Girl Eats, the muffin-like fluffiness of the cookies comes from the (now not so) secret ingredient lemon zest. Ahh, the delicious wonders of culinary science.

Man Walks All Day to Create Spectacular Snow Patterns
Man Walks All Day to Create Spectacular Snow Patterns:
Artist Simon Beck must really love the cold weather! Along the frozen lakes of Savoie, France, he spends days plodding through the snow in raquettes (snowshoes), creating these sensational patterns of snow art. Working for 5-9 hours a day, each final piece is typically the size of three soccer fields! The geometric forms range in mathematical patterns and shapes that create stunning, sometimes 3D, designs when viewed from higher levels.
How long these magnificent geometric forms survive is completely dependent on the weather. Beck designs and redesigns the patterns as new snow falls, sometimes unable to finish a piece due to significant overnight accumulations. Interestingly enough, he said, 'The main reason for making them was because I can no longer run properly due to problems with my feet, so plodding about on level snow is the least painful way of getting exercise. Gradually, the reason has become photographing them, and I am considering buying a better camera.” Spectacular art for the sake of exercise!
