Racked, the NY shopping blog, has been posting photos of holiday window displays. Today, I saw these amazing pics from Bergdorf Goodman.
Their theme is the four elements: earth, air, water, and light.

Candle Holder Flashlight
You’ve heard of burning the candle at both ends. These candle holders burn a candle on the top, and flip over to double as a flashlight.
Very clever.

Casablanca Tea Glasses
Leah, of More Ways to Waste Time, found this very pretty set of Casablanca tea glasses over at Just Morocco.
I love this sort of ornate glass, because it can pull double-duty as a vase.
A set of 6 is $28.
Hive Chair
This chair almost has me missing summer.

Equation Book Shelf
As a writerly-type, I’m really into the recent typography trend. I can’t wait to fill my home with words.
But as the daughter of an accountant and an engineer, I have a soft spot for the occasional math reference.
So, despite my nightmare memories of pre-cal, I love this Equation Bookshelf. It’s bold and fun and would make a great gift for your favorite number-cruncher.
A China Tool Box?
If you’re looking for a real tool box, ceramic may not be the most practical solution. But these china tool boxes from Le Petit Atelier de Paris are whimsically exquisite.
If you’re worried about chucking your hammer into something this pretty, these would make a nice home for craft supplies or pretty window boxes for small pots of herbs.

Spam One-Liners
A few weeks ago, I discovered some amazing Spam art on Flicker (thanks to Joshua Blankenship’s blog).
The creator of this art, Linzie Hunter, takes quotes from some of the Spam she finds in her in-box and turns them into amazing hand-lettered posters.
We’ve all been annoyed to death by Spam, but it can also be quite funny at times. So I instantly fell in love with the series.
Now I’m so happy to say that Linzie is selling 9 prints from her Spam series at Thumbtack Press. The prints, which vary in size, are $29.99 a piece.
