inside a black apple

Have you seen these? Crafter Emily Martin, the top seller on the website etsy.com, a Brooklyn, New York-based online marketplace for all things handmade, puts out incredible dolls, kits and original art featuring these lovely slightly gothic girls and boys. She was on Queen Martha's show, and left a pattern for her dolls, downloadable here. She kind of makes you think you could do more...

tiffany & co is timeless

what a great find-
my father-in-law has a knack for finding all things great when going to estate sales and garage sales. He found this fabulous vintage Tiffany clock in the shape of a diamond last weekend. Oh I would love to have this on my bedside table or my desk, but alas he has asked me to put it on the bay for him. Hope it brings in the dough!

gary vaynerchuck is a huge dose of happy

What makes you happier than witnessing a person who has pure passion and love for his job? I think at that point it becomes a vocation. I'm way behind on this obviously, as this video blogger has a mega fan club, but I accidently "met" this gary  vaynerchuck video via my subscription to k vintners email list. Just take a view and you'll know why I can't quit watching him.
