This week's favorites: jigsaw puzzle soap, nostalgic air-mail postcards, an octopus-theme to-do pad, and nifty van-shaped gift boxes.

ed.jpg
"Edgar's Tears" print ($13) by Portland artist Amelia. I'm also a fan of her portrait "Rainy Day."

sycamore.jpg
"Sycamore" linocut ($45) by artist/biologist KShanks, who gets "very grumpy" when she's not making art. "Winter Goldfinch" is equally striking.

animalcards.jpg
Petting Zoo tags ($7) by Chicago design team PearlMarmalade would look great framed, grouped, and hung in a child's room.

cantileverwineholder.jpg
•Break free from the tyranny of the wedding-gift registry and get this cantilevered wine holder ($34) by Prince Street Woodcrafters instead.

madisonchair.jpgWe're improving on this post. These Six Crate and Barrel Madison chairs look like they're in top condition and ready to go for the discount of roughly half price. If you have a hankering for the sturdy C&B style in a nice espresso finish, this will solve your seating problem in a jiffy.

Further Finds

Thanks, Craig!

birdnerd.jpg
Egyptian-inspired bird print ($5) by Birdnerd, whose name says it all.

thejungle.jpg
"The Jungle” illustration ($19.99) by Annie Wilkinson, an ice hockey-playing designer and illustrator.

ossobucco.jpg
"On the Contrary" print ($20) by Ossobuco, who lives by the unforgiving motto "Art or die."

treepillow2.jpg
Darkest Tree pillow ($14) by Supastarr, whose skull pillow has punkish charm.

biube.jpg
Eight-gallon Biorb desktop aquarium for $99.99, including shipping. This is one of the more attractive fish tanks I've seen, with an unobtrusive filtration system, halogen lights instead of sickly fluorescents, and a pipe hidden in plain sight.

palazzo.jpg
Palladian litter box cover ($29.95) is made of high-gloss, laminated display board.

litterbox.jpg
Kitty a Go-Go litter box ($105) in polka dots, metallic silver, or leopard.

rollerpetcarrier.jpg
Rolling pet carrier. At $149.95, this also functions as a backpack and car seat.

mochasofa.jpg

Cafe au lait sofa with cherry frame for $400.

Further finds

Thanks, Craig!

automoblox.jpg
Automoblox C9 sports car. This building-block-cum-car is crafted of German wood, and its parts can be mixed and matched with other models.

bertoia.jpg
Bertoia wire child's chair. I would drape a flokati rug over this chair for comfort.

kaybojesen.jpg
Kay Bojesen wooden horse. Bojesen was a silversmith who designed iconic children's cutlery and sturdy, whimsical wooden animals.

transplant.jpg
"Transplant" ($20) by self-taught artist Mark Brown, whose figures bear some similarity to the puppets of Red Nose Studio. Snap up a print before a gallery gets hold of Brown and raises his prices.

lovebird.jpg
Embroidered "Lovebird" ($14) on cotton fabric by BigSkyStarlet. "Light as a Feather" and "Pump d'Or," too, combine handmade charm and sophistication.

vixen.jpg
"Vixen" plate ($20) by Trixiedelicious. Ask her to do a set of "deadly sins" plates: lust, avarice, vice, and sloth, for example.

mechanicalbs.jpg
Mechanical B***s*** ($20) poster by Limescreen. Several other designs, including "Splitting Headache," would make great wall hangings, so inquire.

My quest to find highly covetable items that have appeared in Domino continues...

thomaspaulplates.jpg
Thomas Paul faux-bois melamine plates, as seen at It's (K)not Wood. These are a cinch to hang and won’t break if they fall. At $22, there are no bidders.

hollywoodregencytable.jpg
Black faux bamboo table. Versatile – and on wheels!

cafecanister.jpg
French pedestal coffee jar. Chic.

fornasettipillow.jpg
Fornasetti pillow. If you're going to spend $95 on a pillow, you might as well get something that's highly collectible.

-Molly S.

This is for Gregory and Em's Candyland of a bathroom; these would dress up a fridge; this is perfect for travel; and this is just for fun.

motherearth.jpg
Earth Queen ($20) photograph by Phoot.

erasoul.jpg
"Patterns" drawing ($65) by Erasoul.

orchid.jpg
Green fuschia-tipped orchid ($9) cultivated by Norma of Katy, Texas. Her prices are rock-bottom.

diffuser.jpg
Reed diffuser ($15) by Modern Atelier, in your choice of 100 scents, some modeled on Jo Malone and Comptoir Sud Pacifique. These are rarely available at such a low price.

I combed through back issues of Domino, wondering whether I could find items similar to those that have appeared in its pages. As usual, eBay yielded a bonanza...

coffeetable.JPG
O Series turquoise lounge table - reserve set around $750.

apothecaryjar.jpg
Vintage apothecary jar - I like the slightly wavy glass. The magazine shows one of these holding TP, but I'd put turquoise and green soap cubes in it instead.

featherwreath.jpg
Feather wreath – ask if the feathers are real before bidding. Domino showed a purple one, but I like this natural version.

pastisbottles.jpg
Vintage pastis bottles - start a collection!
