They try to make me go to BROOKLYNrehab...

...and I say, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know, I know...bad joke....I apologize, but I just had to do it.
I want to share some neat-o purchases I made recently from one of my favorite Etsy shop...at BROOKLYNrehab!
Alyssa creates wonderful objects from jewelery, to decorative figurines, and housewares. With her product design & fashion background, her modern take on traditional inspired creations are cute, but not too childish...elegant, but not too girly...simple,but not too boring.
Kind of like me!...well... actually I'm pretty childish. I make fart jokes and throw fits if I can't get the kind of candy or ice cream I want. And...I'm pretty boring, too...since I make the same jokes all the time...same fart jokes. :PI TOTALLY excited to share these custom eggcups she makes! I had her make custom ones for "Ladies" and "Gentlemen"! Mind you that I get excited about eggcups and soft boiled eggs. Remember when I had my FIRST soft egg in an egg cup just last year?? Well, it's that time's 100, because now both Dylan and I get our own special eggcups to eat soft eggs now!
I also got the faceted metal necklace, which I absolutely love and wear all the time now. It's that kind of simple elegance that I love so much. It's perfect!
Alyssa also sent those lovely little treasures of a shell, a feather, and a porcelain slip-cast wing! It was an unexpected pleasant surprise, and so thoughtful.
I will treasure it all....and promise to never make the rehab joke again. :D
Thank you Alyssa!

When? What? Why? and Hue?

Jamie & Brian from Iacoli & Mcallister (founder of JOIN:Design) made it all the way to the big apple recently to showcase some of their colorful Mini Pedestals and Frame Pendants at the "Hue Are You?" exhibit organized by the American Design Club at the Future Perfect in Brooklyn from March 20th-April 30th....I feel like I should draw a mind map for all these groups and people. But Jamie & Brian are getting tons of excitement from coast to coast! YAY!!
"Hue Are You?" is a collection of up and coming designers around the states bring together new work involving the theme of color. AmDC's mission is similar to JOIN's, where we're all joining forces to promote designs made in the U.S. of A. High-fives to all the AmDC people from the west coast! Hi-5! 5! 5! 5!...and so on.
Here are some work shown.
nesting tables, elisa werbler.
Set of color crayon rings, timothy lilles.
Furniture by Paul Loebach.
Wish we could see all the awesomeness in person! But if you can't make it to the show like us, you can see more photos on Jamie & Brian's blog.
