I happened upon a shop in the east village this weekend called Tiny Living. What a great idea! While I love traditional furniture – a standard round coffee table just isn’t going to fit in my 8ft wide living room – unless it is the only thing in there. Tiny Living has all sorts of nifty space saving do-dads, furniture and what-nots. In fact, I think I’m going to get the coffee table shown on their website. I have been searching for a narrow, bench like, coffee table for a long, long, long time. They don’t have a much of a site just yet, but when it does launch (summer 2006) we’ll let you know.

Ok, so clearly a frenzy of Christmas shopping links are headed your way.
Like www.shawnimals.com where you can get some stinky (and rather cute) little plushies. Many moons ago I got one of his originals “a wee lump” for our studio. Each of their characters hails from a different regions of shawnimaland and are divided into various species. The character write-ups are great.

The shawnimal’s site (FAQs) has been kind enough to explain the origin of the color orange for us:

Why orange?
Well, it all happened a long time ago when red and yellow spent a lot of time together and eventually fell in love. When two colors fall in love, sometimes they hold each other in a very special way. And sometimes when they hold each other long enough, a new color is born. This particular time, orange came along. And they all lived happily ever after.
