Straying from the norm is what I love to do. Thats why I love to thrift store shop. When you find an item chances are you wont find the same thing like it, unlike in a store where you can buy in bulk. I’m going to admit it takes time finding those few unique items that you absolutely love. Two items that i have come across over the last few months are Shwood Eyewear and the Bike Shelf. My graphic design teacher introduced me to Shwood during class, and actually I got to meet one of the founders. He was a honest and laid back man. The whole concept of glasses being made out of wood is simple but in some way it just works. The next item (Bike Shelf) I happened to stumble upon while roaming the Big 3 W’s (world wide web). It too is a simple design that lets you hang your bike up, oh yeah and books! With these items you’re not falling far from the tree, the designs are simple showing the natural beauty of the woods. These are not low priced items, but ARE affordable. Both items I WOOD love to purchase in the near future.
