My Favourite Things is a monthly linkup hosted by Raisa and Eirene. Head over there to participate!
Below are some of my favourite things right now:
Music: The Distillers
An old punk rock band that isn’t even making music any more, but still my current obsession. Their music is really great and I have developed a bit of a crush on singer Brody Dalle!
If there is one thing that ALWAYS works for me music-wise is dark, deep, gritty voices – especially female ones. I can’t resist the sound. I even listen to Cher sometimes just because of her voice. And now The Distillers have been added to my list of bands with interesting vocals.
Design: Dust Furniture
Imagine if Dr. Seuss decided to make furniture? It would probably look something like this. I don’t normally care that much about interior design, but these are the weirdest bookcases and cabinets I’ve ever seen and I love every single one of them! The designs are wonderfully whimsy and truly unique.
If they were available in Europe I’d buy this piece in a heartbeat, but sadly it’s a North American company and I don’t even want to know how much shipping and customs would be for me.
Geekyness: Bilbo’s Contract
It wasn’t just Zappo’s birthday last month, I had mine at the end of March too and my boyfriend presented me with this wonderfully nerdy gift: Bilbo’s Contract. It is exactly that: a copy of the contract he had to sign before joining the company of dwarves set out to reclaim The Lonely Mountain.
It’s really long and detailed, I haven’t even read the whole thing yet because it’s just so much text. It’s kinda hard to tell what it says in some parts too since it’s “hand-written” and the paper is “damaged” in some places. ;) I’m going to try my best to decipher all of it though.
Those furnitures are very cool and whimsical. It does remind me of something Dr Seuss would be into D
And that contract. Holy, wow! That’s an amazing gift. :D The details on it is just stunning. I wouldn’t mind getting me one of those now! XD
Wow, I love the idea behind the furniture, it’s so expensive though, yikes! Like you said, I can’t imagine how much it would cost to buy one and add the postage.
That contract totally rocks!!! I’d love to have something like that on the wall. :)
That furniture looks so cool. It would be an interesting piece to have in a home!
The contract is so awesome, what an amazing gift. I love that it is so detailed and looks so authentic! :D
I love the distillers! ahh! Brody Dalle herself just came out with a new album, and she did Spinnerette for a while, too.
I never find anyone mentioning The Distillers.
I spent a few weeks trying to make my hair do this… https://33.media.tumblr.com/73dc9d0951a771c0f4c88d31e02359a6/tumblr_ms6mr4BDWE1qlvvz7o1_r1_400.gif
Happy Belated Birthday!
I like that song! It’s too bad the band isn’t making music anymore.
Oohh, I love how whimsical the designs are from Dust Furniture. They’re clean and simple yet have very interesting shapes. I’d love to have a piece! I just wish they weren’t so expensive!
Bilbo’s Contract looks really cool! What a great gift :D
I love the furniture! :D They’re definitely something I’d place in my apartment. The bookshelves are my favorite from the site.
