Imaginary Shopping Spree: Various Icelandic Kitchenwares, forget-me-knot rings

Culinary-oriented Trinkets from Iceland, birkiland.com

Why does everything Canadio-American have to suck so much more than everything from everywhere else in the world? Not only do I hate my generation, I also hate my continent, apparently. Know what I don't hate? THE INTERNET. Thanks to the World Wide Web, I can renounce my mother country's boring and mass-produced approach to housewares, and scour killer virtual locayshes such as BIRKILAND for way-cooler products from way-cooler other places. Birkiland.com is dedicated to showcasing the massive awesomeness that is contemporary Icelandic design; seen below are a few of its choicest goodies:

I need to get out of this place. (Laura Jane)

FORGET-ME-KNOT RINGS

Life is so weird, man...I used to be such a salt-and-savory kind of lady when it came to my favorite snack foods, but lately I find myself with such a sweet tooth for gooey, yummy dark chocolate-y things with caramel and butterscotch. This move towards the dark but sweet has extended to all areas of my life, including a new craving for gourmand fragrances (like Angel and Lolita de Lempicka and my new favorite, Hanae Mori Butterfly.) And naturally, lately I like a slightly sweet approach to all things sartorial. Which is why I like this forget-me-knot ring a lot: it's of course essentially a bow, but it's textured to look like string. Perfect for forgetful types like me these days, and just a little touch of the sweetly charming in just the right place. (Kat)
