Acorn Studios

I love clever ways of reusing objects in new, unique ways.  When I saw Acorn Studios on SwissMiss, I was thrilled.

These circuit board earrings are too cute. 

I’m always on the lookout for a good notepad.  These colorful diskette notepads are awesome.  Does anybody even use disks anymore?  I also like the look of this photo album:

Everyone knows someone who loves keychains.  These would be adorable gifts.  As would these clever ornaments:

I feel a little better about posting Christmas stuff now that it’s November.  I hope you all have a great day!

New Orleans & Green Building

I can’t forget what happened two years ago today. I was horrified by the destruction of Hurricane Katrina & the complete ineptitude of our government. There is still so much work to be done to rebuild one of America’s most beautiful & historic cities. I found the piece below from the Today Show to be very inspiring with a peek at what a celebrity (In this case it’s the super fantastically hot Brad Pitt) can do to help. There are so many interesting Green Building ideas in this piece. I have added the Global Green site to my links on the left & I can’t wait to learn more about the important new technologies in this industry.
