This little guy would fit in perfectly with my existing menagerie. Hmm…something to think about.
Perching owl wall hook, 2 for $12, Urban Outfitters
Note: For all the readers in London, Ontario – did you know that Urban Outfitters is going to open up at the corner of Oxford and Richmond? While I’m not exactly a frequent shopper at Urban Outfitters, I do think it’ll be great for the downtown core. What do you think?
Since Jordana’s travels have been “crossing” the USA this week, I thought it would be fun to showcase her trajectory via the ever-fun typographic city neighbourhood maps known as Ork Posters by artist Jenny Beorkrem.
Jenny’s story about how she started to make these is so cool: back in 2007 she was looking for a good typographic map of Chicago- another one of Jordana’s favourite cities- and couldn’t find one. Read Jenny’s interesting need-turned-business success story here.
Toronto’s Telegramme Prints & Custom Framing– a lovely print shop with locations in Leslieville and on Ossington) offers the prints for $25 a pop, which is so perfect for a just-because gift to a friend.
Jordana’s travels to the USA this week probably started in Toronto:
And I think she then headed straight to Boston:
Jordana ended her trip in lovely and second-hometown to her, NYC!Â

Aren’t this amazing energy saver light bulbs lovely all on its own?
Every angle delivers a new twist of light.
Designed by Hulger, the bulb is inspired by a bird’s show feather and boasts an 8,000 hour lifetime emitting a warm white light.
The Plumen bulb is available at MoMA, $30
Has spring sprung yet? (Here neither.)
In the meantime, how about a sculptural tree to add some forever-winter branches to your home? Does that sound too blah? Would you rather see flowers and birds? (Will I ever stop asking questions?)
The Gondor tree (25″ x 22″), made in India and available at CB2, $80 on sale.
See? I have a bird too:
Candle stick bird, available at CB2, $9.95
I took some photos of my mom’s Santa collection a little while ago. Even though the beard is white and the outfit is red, each jolly little figure seems to have a unique personality.
Merry Christmas!
