1. So much better than the regular ‘don’t park here’ signs! (source, photo)
2. Tiffany prepares sandwiches and cakes with ingredients from the farmer’s market, wraps them up in ecological packaging, stacks them in an old suitcase and delivers them on her wonderful pink bike. Only in Paris though! Why don’t we have something like tifamade here in Belgium…
3. Custom made Olympus Pen F in black and wood finish. Yes please! (source)
4. Wonderful stairs. (source)
5. These light jars, designed by Kristine Five Melvær, are meant to showcase small, precious belongings. Inside the wooden stopper is a light source that highlights your time of choice. (source)
6. Aren’t these long exposure photographs of fireflies just magical? (source)
7. Life is beautiful by farhad moshiri is made out of hundreds of knives stabbed into the wall. (source)
8. Kyle Kirkpatrick carves imaginary landscapes out of old books. (source)
9. Sculpture by Myeongbeom Kim. (source)
10. TANTO is the most wonderful bean bag I’ve ever seen. Get it here. (source)
Our last but one (that’s right, only one post about Morocoo left!) led us to Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified berber city, and Ouarzazate, also known as the ‘Moroccan Hollywood’, since it is the set for films like the gladiator. To get there, we had to take 5 hour drive by bus through the mountains (where it was freezing!), which made me so car sick (and I’m usually pretty immune), but luckily the amazing views made up for that.

I’m sure all of you have looked up your own home as soon as google street view went on line, but there’s much more to be discovered than what your old pen pal’s house actually looked like! On 9-eyes you can find a collection of google street view’s most fascinating screenshots, collected by Jon Rafman. Some of these could really be considered art if only they were framed on the wall of a fancy gallery. (source)
1. The newest Tattly designs featuring bikes. I especially love the this design by Mike Lowery! (source)
2. Clever street art. (source)

4. Visiting someone in prison is hardly what you call a fun trip, but this artwork by Markus Linnenbrink makes it a whole lot better! You can find it in the visitors tunnel of the Justiz Vollzugs Anstalt (Prison) in Düsseldorf, Germany. (source)
5. Craig Alun Smith designed these colorful LuvOwls (not only in blue, but also red and green), which are made of seeds, suet and food coloring. His aim? Covering the city in equally colorful bird poo. As the colors of the LuvOwls are based on the RGB system, eating from different owls should result in a rainbow of different colored bird poo. I’m curious to see if this works! (source)
6. So I have a confession to make: I always cut my spaghetti, I can’t eat it with just a spoon and a fork, let alone without the spoon. That’s where this Rolognese Spaghetti Fork would come in handy, right? (source)
7. Beautiful film posters, like this one for where the wild things are, by Dandy Raffe. Take a look here for more!
8. Lucas Maassen‘s project ‘The furniture factory’, where he includes his sons as painters. They get 1 euro per piece, but due to the child labour laws in the Netherlands, they can only work 3 hours a week, which leads to unfinished painting jobs but undoubtedly beautiful results. (source)
9. Supercool business cards for a hairdresser! (source)
10. The Artistifier can make any youtube video a black and white silent movie. This way you can trick anyone into thinking you’re watching classy old movies while you’re actually watching cat videos… (source)
On one of our trips outside Marrakech, we visited the Ourika valley and Imlil, a small village in the mountains. This trip totally convinced me of the Morocco’s beauty. How insane are those mountains? On our way over there, we stopped at a traditional berber home and got the chance to take a look inside. Imlil is a must-see by the way, we climbed all the way up to the mountains to see the water falls, and on our way up, we crossed all these small restaurants which looked so cosy and colorful. There were so many restaurants, I’m assuming this place must be packed with tourists during the summer, but when we were there it was luckily quite calm.

After seeing paper and chain’s lovely jewelry on several blogs, and running into the gorgeous lookbook of jewelry brand Two Hills (those rings! I want them all), I started browsing etsy for more delicate jewelry inspired by the beauty of geometry. Behold my discoveries!
