sloppy! [homage to murder by death]

at only $26 for 100, there are soooo many people i can give these personalized napkins to for absolutely no reason at all. my pal ken's band is playing a show this weekend. i could give him these for pre-concert beers. ("good luck!" or "the broken holidays" [their band]) i'm flying to see my cousin steve and his fantastic other half this next weekend. i could bring them these as a hostess gift. ("you're the best!" [and they are] or "S&J") [even better: i'll imprint the date of my visit, like a wedding--ha!]

choices include 17 ink and napkin colors and block type, script type, or circular monogram imprint options.

like no other lampshade

Eleven Seventy-Eight Designs is doing some pretty cool stuff with glass. For one, they silkscreen photographs onto glass and turn them into lampshades. Yes, that's a lifeguard station, and you need one of these...think of it as penance for all the crappy W-Mart furniture you bought in college. Check out the rectangular striped lampshades (also glass) too.
