SOME COOL PHOTOS OF THINGS FROM THE NET

A tote bag from Village. It can be found at vllg.com. Actually Ian's mom has this bag, I think it is quite fabby, I wouldn't mind one for myself. (I have a bag problem however, I'm going to restrain from buying it.)
This is an interesting twist on the concept of a treehouse. They are called Free Spirit Spheres. They will come and install them for you and then you do as you please. Some people use them for offices, or places to hang out, I don't think anyone lives in one... but you could. There are more piccys on the site: http://www.freespiritspheres.com


This last item is a fabulous stool. I found it on the same blog that had a bit about the tree sphere. (I was looking for information about an installation piece by the group Cracking Art. In July they had a piece at the Cloister of Bramante in Italy. I was writing a paper about art and conventions/context and a bit of history and started to research this piece, which is how I stumbled across the blog with the treehouse and this stool.) This stool is called: The One Shot Stool by Patrick Jouin. If you want to know the whole bit about it you can check out this guys blog... where I found all these things: http://oneandonlybrands.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html

And just in case you were wondering what the Cracking Art piece looked like:
