Baker’s Bar Dessert Erasers
Designer and PhD student Erica Walker designs for those who appreciate things that are Super Cute. We’re all over Super Cute and adore her dessert erasers–irresistable, yet diet friendly.
How’d she make them? She gave us her recipe:
1 part obsession with erasers since age 4.
1 part unsuccessful attempt to create a Junk Food Barbie, her expanding/contracting waist, and her many, many accessories.
1 part Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture by Claes Oldenburg.
Why else do we heart Erica? She eats potato chips with chopsticks to avoid having greasy fingers.

High Heels Origami Greeting Card Kit
"Origami has a lot of soul," says Cindy Ng of Finger
Magic as she traces origami’s history from its 15th century samurai
gift-giving origins to the present day, when communication is driven
more by technology (e-mail, anyone?) than by human interaction.
So now that the holidays are over, and you’re left with a pile of presents…and a stack of thank you cards to write, you *could* go with a generic thank you card, or you can thank your friends with a card with some soul. An added bonus? The high heels make this card fit for a fashionista!
Enter "omiru" in the coupon checkout code box by 12/31/06 for a 10% discount.
