So I watched Sundance Channel's new reality show about a buyer for Anthropologie called Man Shops Globe. More like Man Plunders Globe. How dare they?! How dare Anthropologie and the Sundance Channel (I thought Robert Redford was supposed to be some sort of eco-guy??) produce and air such filthy excess. In the midst of an…

A new show airs tonight, Man Shops Globe, on the Sundance Channel, where Anthropologie buyer Keith Johnson cruises the world's flea markets. I'm going to check it out even though I have a personal gripe with Anthro as they refused to compensate me for a photo of mine that they used to market their drawer pulls, WTF?! …

Here's an easy-peasy idea for making a small pillow. As you may know I love re-purposing cloth items — shower curtains for wall art, bedspreads for tablecloths, etc. This project involves making a pillow out of a placemat.
