Stargazing

I decided to finally try my hand at curating-- in the form of an Etsy treasury. It was nighttime, for once there were stars out as opposed to the usual San Francisco summer fog, and so I titled my treasury "Stargazing" (which sounded more poetic than just "stars" which is what I originally had).

What to put in it? I decided to go for a kind of ethereal look with this, hope you like it:

Yet another midcentury hedgehog!?

Just when I didn't think it was possible, the universe has produced yet another midcentury modern hedgehog.  I really thought hedgehogs were more in the realm of cute folksy woodland sweetness and not so much sleek modern cool redux.  But this is the proof that the hedgehog is revered and inspirational to all design:

 He can be purchased here.  I know, why am I not buying him?  My husband would never agree to a hundred dollar hedgehog :)    OK, I didn't ask, but I know better :)

Midcentury Hedgehog


Like tons of other people these days, I've been really interested in midcentury design. I love the clean simple lines and general aesthetic, and wow, what gorgeous furniture came out of this period!

So, today I did a search on Etsy for "midcentury" (unlike many of my other searches where I frequently type in "hedgehog"), and lo and behold, a midcentury hedgehog appears. And just like the midcentury design tenets of form + function dictate, this little hedgie is also a toothpick holder!

You've got to check him out here.
