Zihotch Retro Phone Watch
This watch tells time...literally! Made by Japan's Maywadenki, this Zihotch Retro Phone Watch has no digital display or a needle. In their place is an old school telephone dial.
To find out the time, simply dial 117 and it will be spoken to you! Dialing a wrong number will result in a "We are sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please check and call again." You can also set it so you receive a personal wake up call every morning!

Ted lights
I see a trend forming: first the Tupp-a-lamp pendant light and now custom hanging tea lights from Domestic Construction. I just love how artists are finding vintage items and giving them new life. It seems buying vintage has become more and more popular and I think it's great!

Making a mess of my office
I don't call it my studio because it's too small! I'm really ready for a home with a larger room for all my stuff... I'm going to go and see a home for sale this weekend. I love this home so much but... It's an hour north of Boston in NH. I would love to have a home in MA, but I could never afford one: the houses I like here are seven, eight, nine hundred thousand dollars or more! I don't want to be paying a mortgage for the rest of my life, so New Hampshire it is. I will keep you all updated on the house hunt. I can't wait to show you all my decorating skills!

Wedding cakes
Ed Emberley
I recently saw this book in a antique store and I wanted to buy it, lol. When I was a kid I had the soft cover addition from the 80's. I was so in love with that book, it went with me every where. It may still be in my parents attic, they never throw away anything!
Memories...

Fifth Annual Printing Arts Fair
I had so much fun yesterday at the Printing Arts Fair! I met some amazing artists and I learned more about the world of letterpress. I was upstairs in the sellers area most of the time, but the few times I managed to go down to the main hall, I was amazed at how many people were there. The kids had their own little art area to keep them busy, and there were printing demos and other activities. The place was packed with people interested in these ancient presses, fluttering around, printing father's day cards and old-looking newspaper pages and such. An old printing method is getting new life with modern artists.
On another note, I thought it was so cute when children were drawn to my ABC prints! they just seemed to float to my table. I know that parents love them but it's nice to see the children's faces glow as they pointed to each animal.

I want to thank Angela Liguori for letting me know about this fair. I had so much fun, thanks!

Radiohead "Nude" Remix
Big Ideas (don't get any) from James Houston on Vimeo.
"I'm a student graduating from the Glasgow School of Art's visual communication course in a few days. This is my final project."
"Based on the lyric (and alternate title) "Big Ideas: Don't get any" I grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed them in a situation where they're trying their best to do something that they're not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there."
House Tour: Family-Friendly Modern
Found at Apartment Therapy
Behind the restored Federalist facade of Ellen Weiman and Dubi Silverstein's West Village town house, hides a modern home that resembles an Eames storage unit. The combination of white walls, brightly colored panels and industrial textures keep the space casual and comfortable and lets the collections within stand out...
