This is wicked cool!

Storm or no storm, it’s still the weekend and so time to browse random links! And also to say inside and be dry.

I must make this cool garland for the boys’ room.

On more DIY theme, how about a nice birthday calendar printable for yourself or a friend?  Cute! And really cute when hung up with clothespins! Until, of course, your toddlers take them down and throw them at the dog, but hey, for 5 minutes it will look just like this picture.

How cool are these bowls? I love the invisible cat!

Would you stay in a hotel room that looks like this? Somehow the picture makes me think of our stay in Berlin hostel and fills me with wanderlust all over again.

Minted is giving away free mommy calling cards! Now the question is, are you yuppie enough?  Do you dare to add mommy cards to your profile of skiing, tennis playing, playdate-arranging, organic-food-buying, MINI-driving existence?  Because these cards are not going to score you any points with the unwashed masses any more than your favorite polo teams will.  Just saying.  And also ordering the cards while saying that.

And, finally, wouldn’t you love to spend your weekend like this?

Enjoy!

Love Egg Press cards!

Cute luggage tags for kids.

I love photography by Jannelle; I found her this week and couldn’t stop looking at these pictures.

The sweetest journey; check out the entire series!

A picture of father and son at the first and the last shuttle launch:

I think that these animated GIFs by Jamie Beck are the most gorgeous things ever.  Who knew that the lowly animated GIF, so long ago abandoned and laughed at, could be lifted to such haute couture?  :)

I think these are so touching because they sort of look the way memories do: only one thing stands out, getting across the point of the thought, the remembering, and everything else is flat, as a backdrop in a picture.  Aren’t they magical?

If you want to learn to make something like this yourself, Photojojo has a tutorial! Now if only we could find the time.  And, also, I think it will be at least 10 years before I can make everything in a scene stand still except ONE THING.

Hm.  May be I should go more into impressionist art: I think I would be much more successful creating a photograph where everything is a blur.
