The Essence of Rabbit
This is a crazy bunny compendium.
"Too much bunnies? There’s no such thing! And just to prove it Pictoplasma asked internationally established and upcoming character designers, illustrators and artists around the globe to send in their versions of rabbits, bunnies, hares and everything in between. The result is a full-scale bunny overdose, with far more than 1.500 individual rabbits from 500+ international contributers. By condensing the endless variations of the rabbit motif into one ultimate system - a perfect bunny mandala - the true nature of the beast emerges: the eternal essence of rabbit."

Chocolate Pencils
Mmmmmm chocolate pencils. You sharpen them to get chocolate shavings!!! This is by a company called nendo, who have loadsa other cool stuff and art.
Chocolate-pencils is a collaboration with patissier Tsujiguchi Hironobu, the mastermind behind popular dessert shops like Mont St. Claire and Le Chocolat de H. Tsujiguchi created a new dessert based on his impression of nendo after conversations with us, and we designed new tableware for them. We wanted our plates to show off the beauty of meals and desserts like a painting on a canvas. Based on this idea, our "chocolate pencils" come in a number of cocoa blends that vary in intensity, and chocophiles can use the special "pencil sharpener" that comes with our plate to grate chocolate onto their dessert. Pencil filings are usually the unwanted remains of sharpening a pencil, but in this case, they're the star!"

The Counter
The Counter is a US based burger company with locations all over America (but not Florida which is lame as this is where I am at the moment) You get a checkbox menu when you enter and so there are over 312,120+ combinations of burger you can have. A great idea as everything is freshly prepared, this should be expanded to all different types of restaurants yum. nom nom.

Etsy
I have just discovered Etsy and have not fully explored but can't wait to.
It is a place where people who make homemade things can sell to a big audience.
Or

Lemony Snicket
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is one of my favorite series of books. Focusing on the lives of the Baudelaire children; Violet, Klaus and Sunny, who are trying to scape the evil Count Olaf. I love, and my lovely Talli brought me most of the 13 books in the series, much love x
The series has also been made into a film with Jude Law and Jim Carey. I thought it was shame they condensed maybe the first 3 books into one film and then never did anything with the rest of the series, but that is the lesson you learn from reading the books first.
