Wirebird lamp: These people made it although I never found it on their website. I think it would look great on my wall. I don’t often see crows in Athens and I kind of miss them.
Landro Niagara Falls Chandelier According to the creators it has 300 wings of porcelain sculptures with fibber optic technology. The subtle light of the fibber optics brings the porcelain fairies to life and creates an illusion of fluidity. It measures 2 metres in diameter. Start saving money asap, because it costs $90,000.00.
Umbrella-water pistol. "The user can fire at will, maintaining a constant flow of water as long as rain continues to fall". I found it here.
Heat sensitive wallpaper: The flowers bloom when the radiator is on! The calendar is also light-sensitive and the ink on it fades when it gets darker. The day disapears and so does the ink. Isn’t it the cleverest thing ever? Found here.
Made by this amazing artist, Alberto Cerriteno. I chose this "Goblin" but everything he does is lovely. His work is not at all expensive for how amazing and original it is. He should charge $ 150 just for the inspiration he provides.
I love fonts. I must have thousands. But I don’t have this one: Ambroise™ A FontShop Exclusive
Kahla dinnerware. This is Aerius. I’d like to start eating dinner from this from now on. I’d even wash the dishes.
Dollhouse! I adore them. All of them. Even playmobil ones. This one is from Pottery Barn. I like it more because it is white.
Brother Sewing Machine. It’s not the most expensive model but it’s one I like. I am going to make you skirts, tablecloths and bags with this one. Hopefully.
That’s all I want for Christmas. I’ve been very very good this year in case anybody’s wondering.

How do you find these things?? They’re amazing!!
Ah the birds
Tell me about: the last time I saw a crow, I went crazy: Look, a crow! How city-girl am I?
I love the chandelier, but as I’ll never have the money, maybe we can make a smaller/more economic version.
The wallpaper is fantastic…and the umbrella ahahah
I’ve never been happier than when I was building playmobil castles, honestly

I now covet that wallpaper and the wire bird lamp. Great finds!

Cool gift ideas! I love the heat-sensitive wallpaper and light-sensitive calendar. The latter wouldn’t really work in Estonia during winter, I’m afraid, as it’s still darkish outside (it’s 9.45 am) and will get a bit lighter and then start to darken again after 1pm:)

Oh my I love that chandelier. If I win the lottery I will by one for you and one for me…That is if you don’t mind me copying off you.
Bunches of hugs,
Connie

That umbrella is so cool! I can imagine Chris using something like that… I’d buy it for him for Christmas, if I knew he couldn’t potentially see evidence of me adding it to my “Chris present” list here.

Wow that is all really cool. I don’t know how you find these great sites.

I want the dollhouse. I am obsessed with them
and always have been. I have one but
I need more. And that one is so
English. If it came with a green vespa then
my joy would be complete:)
oh ~ love Alberto’s work very much as well!

Love, love, love the birds. I have so many tshirts, diaries, handbags with birds!
Wish you were here - we could go shopping for (erm, affordable) things to fill my new blank, bare walls! There are so many fun shops and markets here.
