Zoo Doria Animal Biscuits


Zoo Doria animal shaped biscuits is a cute product that comes in an adorable packaging. I saw these last week at my local store where they sell Italian products. If I had bought some for myself they wouldn't have lasted long, so I left them at the store. But I couldn't stop thinking about the package design and started to search online (luckily I remembered the brand name). I found them here. I love the owl and the turtle! You?

Sky Planters: Marcus Oakley










These beautiful screen printed 'Sky Planters' are designed by London based artist Marcus Oakley in collaboration with JaguarShoes Collective. The mini upside-down ceramic planters not only look cool but are eco-friendly as they conserve water, purify air, and self-water themselves so you only need to re-water them once or twice a month!

The planters can be purchased from Boskke in a set of 3 which includes one of each of the following designs - floral, birds and owl, plus hardware and instruction booklet.
