Give A Hoot

Skullknockers are: skeptical two limbed creatures that inhabit small corners of living space across the northeast; prone to hugs and murderous looks.

Skullknockers is: a really cute shop where you can find lots of awesome critters like this one-of-a-kind guy who's made from new and used materials, hand-stitched, stuffed with t-shirt scraps, and completely huggable. (Pumpkin-head owl, $77.00)

Just Dreamy

No, they don't really smell like dragon's blood (or maybe they do; how would we know?) Anyway, these incense sticks from Dreamland Incense are warm and exotic, with notes of amber, vanilla, sandalwood, and other good stuff. (Dragon's Blood Incense Sticks, $2.50 for 15)

Easy Chair

We really like the clean lines of Lunar Lounge Design's modern/retro furniture, including this beautiful slipper style chair. It's built on a hand-crafted wood frame, and upholstered in a vintage burnt orange twill fabric. (Slipper Style Chair Bokz Lounge, $269.99)
