NY Tenants’ Rights Flash Cards by Candy Chang.

2012-01-20T12:33:00.003-06:00

I love Pinterest because it helps me find things like this. An oldie, but classic.

Candy lived in five apartments over the course of eight years in New York City, and after sketchy incidents with landlords and hearing horror stories from others, she realized many renters are unfamiliar with their rights. What’s my landlord required to repair? How does subletting work? When can my landlord enter my apartment? What are grounds for eviction? To help demystify the law, she collaborated with non-profit organization Tenants & Neighbors to design a boxed set of 30 flash cards on tenants’ rights. The flash cards translate New York’s official Tenants’ Rights Guide into a fun and friendly format that covers everything from security deposits and subletting to paint and privacy so residents can have fun while learning their rights. They’re available for $10 in Tenants & Neighbors’ online store and all profits go towards their good work. It’s an empowering gift for anyone in New York state!

Mast Humidifier.

2012-01-20T11:41:00.002-06:00

Lovely.

This elegant and eco-friendly humidifier was created by Shin Okada and crafted by Masuya Koubou out of pure Hinoki (Japanese Cypress). Hinoki is known for its high-quality timber, rot-resistant qualities and lemony sent. The thinly-sliced Hinoki mast absorbs water from the hull and diffuses it and its intrinsic aroma into the room.

Toideloi Modern Design Wooden Dollhouse

2012-01-13T09:57:00.003-06:00

Even though I don't have kids, I'm going to give a big shout out to toy company toideloi. After a long Christmas season of trying to avoid buying pink plastic girly crap for the little girls in my life, seeing this website was SO refreshing.

The messaging and photography is brilliant – making it clear that dollhouses are not just for girls, and playing together is fun (regardless of gender). The site is so simple and encouraging and lovely. And the products really do look fun. I wish more toys companies would take a page from this book.

Totally. Fab.

This freestanding desk calendar offers a relaxing way to note the passage of time, its rocking chair design symbolizing a respite from fast-paced, modern life. It even moves back and forth like a real rocker! The current month is displayed on the chair back, and the next month on the seat. Only Sundays are marked in red, and no national or religious holidays are indicated. Made of sturdy white paper. 4.75" tall x 2.75" wide x 4.75" deep. Assembly is easy--no scissors or glue are required--and instructions are included.

Type Necklace Plus.

2012-01-06T10:10:00.001-06:00

Very cute.

This diminutive bottle which is only about 1.25" high (including cork) contains tiny custom die-cut letters. This listing is for an order requiring more than 2 letters. I can fill the bottle with initials of your family or the people special in your life. Custom orders have included Greek letters for a college girl’s sorority, an expat had me spell out “London” as her gift to fellow expats leaving the UK (and I included a tiny gold crown!), and one client included the initials of her grandchildren to keep her loved ones close to her heart.

Lucian Ercolani studio couch.

2012-01-04T08:50:00.003-06:00

Want.

Re-issue of the classic studio couch, without back cushions, as a special edition to celebrate Ercol's 90th anniversary.

The studio couch was designed by the company's founder, Lucian Ercolani, and was originally launched in the late 1950s.

As well as looking great, the studio couch was highly functional, designed to act both as a large sofa and an occasional bed.

These are fabulous. Giant Polaroids! Choose from their stock or create your own. I'd love one, though the lack of prices on the site leads me to believe I probably can't afford them...
