clothing optional

enough about clothes and jewelry. lets talk about something else.
im super excited about this weekend, when i'll actually get to test out my new (old) bike in new yawk citaaay.



this is the 2nd bike i've ever owned, the 1st being the one i had when i was a little kid -- bright pink, came with removeable training wheels. i bought this bike at a yard sale during my post-july 4th vacation in MA. there are apparently loads of yard sales in MA, and unlike the sales you usually find in NYC, these sales are ridiculously cheap. like "this-70s-looking-chair-is-$1" cheap. and i know, that i can probably find that same chair at some "vintage wares" store in nyc for $50. so, pretty freakin awesome, these yard sales over there! and the first one we hit, i got the bike. and i paid $15 for this baby. (take that, $40 used-bicycle-selling-man in williesburg!)

but for those who don't mind splurging a bit on some "modern wares," i found a website called Charles and Marie that sells loads of really cool stuff -- some obviously completely out of my price range, and some that'll cost you only a week or two of eating nothing but tv dinners.

inside-out glasses... for wine and champagne




pretty nifty lightbulb!


i have to say, this is probably one of the smartest designs ever. this is a design for a set of "rocking vats" that can turn the above chair into a rocking chair. although these rocking vats currently only fit that type of chair, designed by the same person, if they can expand the idea so that it can fit all chairs, that would be even more fantastic!


this candle holder is currently on my wish-list


and for the funky home... baby head candles.
