blogwatch: where we’ve been clicking this week

More collections! Homegrown & the Bug shares a link in this post to the Flickr group Creative Collections. This image by ninainvorm caught our eye, which led us to another design-fabulous blog worth checking out. (Those are Nina’s ceramic designs above.)

Check out the Watershed Outdoor Furniture Set at Freshome. Is it just us, or do these look better leaning? (Which is probably the point.)

Stumbled across hula seventy this week, and really enjoyed this list of “37 things to do before I turn 38.” (Also enjoyed her list of what she has hanging on this wall.)

This is a slightly old post, but has anyone tried this biodegradable cutlery made from potatoes? Pretty cool idea.

Decorno declared this “Status Anxiety Week” and asked readers the hard questions on salary, social ambitions, real estate, and indulgences. (Actually, they’re kind of fun to answer.)

Speaking of Decorno, she also posted about this story in the New York Times about a couple who bought a huge, falling-down house in Akron, Ohio and spent the next 12 years renovating it — and they’re still not done. It’s beautiful, though.

Coconut & Lime shared a recipe for fennel risotto, then followed it up with ideas on how to use up leftover risotto which, if possible, look even tastier.

Your assignment: Go photograph your collections, post them at Creative Collections, then let us know about it so we can feature them here.

Have a great weekend!

    My design-related skills aren’t awesome enough to photograph ANY collection I have beautifully, but thankfully others possess that ability:

    I heart all those little birdies!

    Here in Portland, the wonderful local/natural grocery chain New Seasons uses the “Spudware - cutlery made from potatoes” for folks who want utensils for takeout food.
