cool product :: an edible coffee cup







How genius is this? The Cookie Cup was designed by Venezuelan designer Enrique Luis Sardi for the Italian coffee company Lavazza. This incredible edible cup brings ecofriendly "recycling" to another level with it's tasty design. A green solution and innovative way to drink your coffee and eat the cup, thus no cup to wash or another nonbiodegradeable cup for the landfill. The Cookie Cup is made of pastry covered with a special icing sugar, which works as an insulator, and makes the cup waterproof, hence allowing you to use the cup to drink your coffee in, and then finish off with a tasty biscuit!

iphone :: a costume?


If you still haven't found that perfect costume for the party Saturday night and you love your iphone then this geeky Halloween disguise may be for you. It's the world's first award winning "working" iPhone costume created by Reko Rivera and John Savio. The two costumes have 3 batteries each with a total runtime of 4.5 hours before needing to be charged overnight. It all started two years ago, when Reko Rivera and Bobby Hartman created a wearable large iPhone costume with a real 37" lcd tv. An iPod was attached with a looping video of a real iphones screen in normal use. This time with the help of John Savio and John Matthews the team created yet another amazing rendition of the new iPhone 3GS. Savio loved the original idea but wanted to take it to the next level and make it thinner and actually work with user input! With some heavy researching and some solid determination Savio finally found a solution. He managed to modify the software on the iPhone to allow a live dual image output to the large 42" lcd tv while maintaining the image in landscape mode. Reko originally came up with the idea and really pushed to see his vision come to life two years ago. This year John and Reko plan to compete in most of the local and online contest to win back the two thousand dollars invested in the costumes design. If you want one of have questions just contact John at guyphones@gmail.com. Cuz this iphone costume is JUST COOL!

Wish I could dress Poppy Petunia up, but she'll have nothing to do with clothes - she freezes like a statue when I put her in clothes :( . Good for calming her down though - kind of like a straight jacket , hehe.

regretsy :: crafts gone wrong

No doubt you've heard of Etsy.com, that long-haired, Birkenstocked love child craft website of Amazon and eBay. It's a crafts-only marketplace (and now vintage too!) oozing with personality. Picture Martha Stewart reincarnated as Ani DiFranco and you get the gist. It's the go-to site for handmade fashion, furniture, toys and housewares. I sell both my art prints and my vintage collectibles on Etsy and swear by it.


But have you heard of Regretsy.com? I hadn't, until my super web savvy DIL Sasha sent me a link to this hilarious website that delivers some of the funniest most outlandish crazy items that some people get away with selling on Etsy.com. Take a look at some of these and have a laugh!
