Amanda: The Green Lobster by Will Schofield

Will Schofield of 50 Watts is a professor of digital wormholes and a champion of of resurrecting and cataloging obscure book illustration. My favorite of today? A few select images from a circa-1950 children's book called The Green Lobster, a post created after he culled from what is apparently a huge compendium of Dutch works. His site is so lovingly tended and thoughtfully composed, I always recommend it, though I must include the caveat that if you go, you'll find yourself clicking the day away.

Jaime: Landezine

My husband, a landscape architect, recently showed me this awesome website: a collection of innovative landscape projects around the world, from a "tree museum" in Switzerland to waterfronts and cemeteries in Spain to gardens in China and beyond. Some really cool projects on there, presented in a photo-filled, user-friendly format.

Julia: Scanwiches

Jon Chonko has perfected the process of bisecting and scanning sandwiches. What's not to love about Scanwiches? It's a fantastic concept, and the images are surprisingly beautiful.

Aaron: Turtleneck Sweaters?

For the last couple months I've kind of been thinking that turtleneck sweaters look kind of amazing right now. And then I saw this slideshow on GQ.com and it's pushing me toward the edge. Am I totally crazy in wanting one of these? Is it insta-70s in the most heinous way? I dunno, they feel pretty fresh.

San Francisco sure does loves its mustachioed hipsters. Have a gander at this stop motion vid from the branding firm Dial House.

Leah: Note to Self!

Who hasn't been guilty of writing an important reminder, phone number, or email address on ones hand? Or written a note on a teeny-tiny post-it only to loose it? I have. So, what if you could attach a reminder note around your wrist as a guarantee to not forget? Well, now you can with the Montre Post-It note. Fun for adults. Fun for kids. Just plain fun!

Katie: Glassybaby of the Month

I first discovered this Seattle based company at the Remodelista marketplace at Dwell on Design this past summer. It is impossible not to instantly fall in love with these hand blown votives. However, the spectrum of colors offered makes it inconceivable to choose just one. Luckily, there is a Glassybaby of the Month package! Owner and founder Lee Rhodes hand selects one votive for each month over 3, 6, or 12 months, or a seasonal bouquet (3 for each season) and ships straight to you door. It's no wine or cheeses of the world club, but I think it's just as good.
