RSS icon throw pillow
I bought one of these RSS throw pillows from Justin almost a year ago when Becky hit it in a Flickr pool round-up on CRAFT. It was a steal then at $15, and it looks like Justin has only marked it up a little bit in the meantime, to $19.99, which is still a great price.

Ceramic seed grenade
At almost $15 US apiece, plus shipping from the UK, you won’t catch me smashing too many of these seed-laden ceramic pineapples in the near future. Give me a half-dozen at that price, packed in hay inside a roughly-stenciled wooden crate (“HAND GRENADE, FLOWER SEED, 6CT, NOT FOR EXPORT”), and we’ll talk. Still, pretty appealing concept–you got the flower power, the military cool factor, and the visceral appeal of smashing a ceramic pot all rolled into one.
