cool things of the week #13

I didn't realize it had been such a long time since I've done a Cool Things of the Week post. Whoops. Well, here's a new one!

1. PetCube – connect with your pet or shelter pet!

This is so cool. It's like a webcam for your pet so you can check on them while you're at work, or to play with a shelter pet before you adopt them. 

2. The Great Jack-o-Lantern Blaze

I'm not sure where this event took place, but it's totally amazing what they created out of carved and lighted pumpkins. 

3.  Designer Stops Texting, Sends Photos Of Hand-Written Calligraphic Messages

I love how much time and dedication went into this project—and it's a nice reminder of a simpler, but more labor intensive time. Also, it seems like great practice!

4. Scandinavian Floral Calendar by the HouseThatLarsBuilt

This is so pretty—I love the floral illustrations. 

I need to start looking for a 2014 calendar soon, there's so many pretty ones!
