Two Grey Rooms

When i was single and poor and used to live in the busy city of Chicago, I loved nothing better than to visit this huge flower store called A New Leaf. It was a dark and beautiful mix of greenery and flowers and  furniture that extended into the outdoor backgarden as well as a separate 'shed' and attic. It was like something out of the book 'Griffin and Sabine'-where I, the explorer, would unearth antiquities and rooms that no one else had seen before...well, the following images remind me of that store's charm- and I'd like to share it with you:

and lastly, a little Joni Mitchell, a perfect soundtrack for those rainy Sunday afternoons in Lincoln Park..
and don't forget your cup of coffee--black..

Also from Miso Soup Design, this chair made of 3-Form's 'green' acrylic: Varia  Eco-resin:

Lastly, because I still am on that Chuck Norris kick..these 'brass knuckles' will TKO your next environmental offender. Or you can just wear it as jewelry: Icelandic Moss ring by Hafsteinn Juliusson:

Just imagining what I should say when I wear this...Don't mess with me or I'll go green on your a**...
