The Design Ties blog is writing about the popular lamp from IKEA that was inspired by a dandelion ('maskros' in Swedish) in fruit, with all the little feathery parasols ready to blow off. Click on this link to the blog, and check out the various photos. Pretty nice!

Product: Weed trimmer toy
The toy that creates people with OCD gardening syndrome - a Home Depot toy weed trimmer. It is only $9.98, and a great buy of plastic made in China, I bet. Give the kid a real metal shovel instead to dig up some thistle roots. Let kids do real things, and learn about the real outdoors. But maybe that is too much to hope for, when there are so many gadget-happy parents in the US.
