N Cluster Necklace

My employer is anti-business casual, which is fine really, except they were forced to go business casual because they had trouble recruiting in a city which is ultra-casual, so they implemented this form of business casual that's actually more restrictive than our business professional (unless you're male, they all love it) So now that all my shirts have to be collarbone or higher I've taken to collecting really graphic and funky necklaces to take the emphasis away from how mountainous crewnecks make my chest look. This n-cluster necklace at Modica is amazingly cool. It will look even nicer next winter when I'm running around dressed like a beatnik in turtlenecks =).

Tabasco by the Gallon

mmm Tabasco! That's really all I have to say. I think a gallon might last me a month i love this stuff so much. $38.98 at Tabasco Country Store

Alone print

I feel a little like the girl in this print from Etsy artist KatrineK today. (noo good reason, just one of those grey, bad weather mopey days) Regardless it would be a lovely thing to hang on the wall. Alone print $20. Only 1 in stock.

5 Beetles Print

I'm on an art kick right now, still having a few bare walls, I really love the prints at Etsy seller, Erin Lang Norris' shop Yellow Canoe(I'm even inspired to do something different than I was planning to do to organize my necklace collection thanks to her keyracks.) And I really, really love this 5 Beetles print. I shouldn't be telling you about it, there's only 1! $25.

Delicate Heart Paper Doll

I usually feature things I want to buy/ would buy if I won the lottery, but today I'm posting something I already own. This beautiful paper doll set from etsy seller Wool and Water is just waiting for me to find the right frame to display it in so I can add it to one of my walls of art. $12.

Mole Rat Nightlight

I have a long odd-shaped entry hall and it's badly in need of one of these amazing Happy Owl Glassworks fused glass nightlights available at Cog & Pearl. There's also a blue version with a bat, but I'm in love with the mole rat version. $45.

Polka Dot Tumbler

I've been in love with the ceramics of etsy seller Nathan William for ages. His store Hijacked Ceramics always features beautiful objects with wonderfully unique glazes. They remind me of the beauty you can find in urban decay. This polka dot tumbler is awesome and only $25. I'm determined to own one of his sugar cannisters one day.

USB Warming Mouse

My company merged my division with another recently and suddenly instead of the awesome building we were sitting pretty in, I'm in a Siberian gulag of an office building that I swear might fall down any second. To make matters worse it's freezing in my office, and thus I need one of these
USB warmer mouse to keep my right hand from being stricken with hypothermia. When you turn the switch to heating, this optical mouse warms up to 45 degrees to keep your fingers toasty. $23 at USB.Brando.

Erlanmeyer Flask

As a fan of good breath, I have a giant bottle of alcohol-free crest mouthwash in my bathroom, but as a fan of style, I'm not feeling it. i've been hunting for weeks for a good mini-decanter, but haven't found on I like. Suddenly it dawned on me, why not buy an awesome erlenmeyer flask with cork instead. Yes, that will be so much nicer than a horrible plastic bottle on my counter top and as a former biologist, so very, very me. from $2.50 at Indigo Instruments.

Mr Suicide Bath Plug

I know the Mr Suicide Bath plug has been around for ages and covered to death, but I curse every apartment bathtub I have that doesn't have a real plughole and thwarts my dream of Mr Suicide ownership. $26 at Unica home

Moving Time

Post.Modern.Mouse is still staring a a messy mountain of half unpacked boxes from this weekend's move so I'll be out til Wednesday.

Scando Coffee Table

In honour of Friday's double celebration of International Pi Approximation Day and Einstein's birthday; I present the most math-approximating modern coffee table on my wishlist-- The Scando coffee table at Hive Modern. What's not to love? It's sleek and it looks like a square root sign! (almost)

Float Tea Lantern

I have a bad habit of buying cool pitchers and tea pots and carafes and then never actually using them. Any time now I will probably buy this gorgeous tea lantern from Molo, but really this time I swear I'll use it. And if not, well it's like a piece of art right? $199 at Velocity Art and Design.

Carrie Shopping/Bicycle Basket

I'm moving to a loft downtown this weekend and that means those little runs to the grocery store at night to get the pint of buttermilk I forgot for the potatoes will now be on foot instead of by car (which is awesome, by the way, because I've missed living in a walking city since I moved away from the east coast.) Sure, I could just lug a regular plastic bag with my comestibles, but that's neither green nor cute. Instead, I want to make my grocery runs with this adorable Carrie basket by Design House Stockholm It comes in either a bicycle basket or a shopping basket with strap. $30-47 at Unica Home.

Eames Plywood Elephant

Sometimes there are things that can't possibly be cool enough to justify the price tag, unless of course you're filthy rich. If I ever win the Mega Millions perhaps I can justify owning one of these amazing limited edition Eames plywood elephant Only $1995.00 including shipping at Hive Modern (that snazzy red is actually sold out, but they have natural pine if you happen to want one)

Warm Tea/Coffee Set

I have been in love with this tea set for eons, it's so visually different without being kitschy.And I adore the play between the 3 textures.

Available in walnut and oak.
