Masamichi Katayama is the divine genius behind many of the most innovative retails spaces that exist. It comes as no surprise that his web site exudes the same brillance.

I’m personally more of an Epson kinda girl but this spot is pretty legit. I’m also a sucker for stop-motion. Four thumbs up (Lily included.)

New favorite website brought to you by design studio Young. Because if you don’t want to learn something new everyday, you obviously never watched Reading Rainbow growing up. And I’m sorry.

I’m impressed by how progressive guerilla/public installations have become these days. I always have fancied the knitted tree branch cozies from artist Carol Hummel and paste-ups are classic, but guerilla gardening by Eric Cheung and Sean Martindale looks to be the diamond in the dark. They take existing wheatpasted billboards and create folded pockets that are used as pots for plants. This is too good not to reblog.

On foggy days I tend to drink Chai tea while afternoons are for Earl Grey with a dash of milk. Sara Lai’s got a new flavor, Lomo tea. Snapshots taken from her travels and put into handsewn tea bags, the only seeping done will be in memories. Cute idea though.

Sure, its not often Apples & Owls has food posts, but considering I can barely breathe out of one nostril and staring at this apple tart is causing me a great deal of frustration, I feel it is necessary to work through my issues. However, I can appreciate the lovely photography all taken from her iPhone, even with malfunctioning olfactions. See more here.

Along with all those kittens and animated gifs of hulk hogan you’re downloading, why not expand your knowledge of sandwiches? My personal favorite? The “Urban Rustic” : Guacamole BLT, Bacon, Guacamole, Lettuce, Tomato, on White Toast. Dutch Crunch roll.

I’ve never met a Snickers bar I didn’t like. And now there’s snacklish, my cravings have increased 33% daily. Happy Thursday from Apples & Owls. duh.

I know what you’re thinking. Post-its and stop motion. Seen. It. Done. Before. Well, Bang-Yao Liu, a recent grad from Savannah College of Art and Design just pwnd all ya’ll.

Talk about good idea. Currently a product concept by Yamaha, the Keyboard Solo is a sketchbook and keyboard in one. I can’t but be reminded of those play and sing children’s books where the keyboard is also attached to the book. Anyone with me?
