swedish bike light

better than the swedish chef?  not quite, but close:

one / two

The Poketo Swedish Bike Light Set will run you around $30.00, but this includes both front and tail lights.  And also, they are “slim and luminous” ~ not unlike the Swedish Chef, I might add.

need it: golden half zebra camera

heyo.  soo….i ended up purchasing the emersonmade gold coin necklace…..it arrives on tuesday so i can’t wait to sport it around and feel as though i’m going “always toward better things”.  while i wait for my fedex package, i will be found pining over this little. tiny. camera.

supposedly:

Not only is the Golden Half the smallest 35mm camera in the world, it also takes half-frame pictures. By “half-frame” I mean that one standard picture frame is divided into two, therefore you get two separate shots per exposure. Not only does that mean you get double the number of exposures (especially great when considering developing costs), you also get to play with diptychs: finding connections between the pictures, planned or unplanned. In addition, the image quality is just right, a sober tone with slight out of focus on the edges (a very elegant shot).  via turntable lab

i’m diggin this little guy for TWO reasons:

1 ~ it’s tiny:  i am BRUTAL to any sort of electronic equipment, phones, sunglasses, really anything of value.  so if it can hold it’s own in my purse it can hold it’s own anywhere.  AND, the fact that it’s small actually does bode well this camera.  if it can huddle in a corner of my ridiculously large bag it will be juuust fine.

2 ~ it’s way of doubling the amount of photos per roll is a HUGE plus.  i LOVE getting more for my money.

so for this particular item, i’m looking to throw down around $40 to $55, which i just may be able to manage after this next paycheck……we will see, and i’m sure i will advertise it’s arrival.

 

need it: e.m. gold coin necklace

at a whopping $68.00 i had to really think about how much i wanted this thing.  but, it’s just so perfect.  i just really admire emersonmade style and wish i had the cash to buy everything they create.  BUT, i don’t.  however, just this one time, i think i might just be able to squeeze out 70 bucks to hang this little gem around my neck.  not only does it feature a little bird, but it also holds the latin saying: “semper ad meliora” ~ always towards better things.  perfect.

they also carry coins with a monarch butterfly, dragonfly, lion, balloon, and lucky clover at the moment.  all with little latin sayings to accompany the fitting icon.

maybe i just won’t get groceries or do laundry for a few more weeks….here’s to febreeze and top ramen.
