I bet some of you have potted plants somewhere in your garden and half of you actually take care of them. Why not be a little kind to nature’s creatures and get the City Oasis pot. It’s pretty much a regular pot with a modern flare but what’s unique is the drain plate. It’s a lot wider than normal and holds a lot more water; perfect for the neighborhood alley cat. Clean water is hard to come by so share and share alike.

All the wet drippy stuff stays inside. Just brills.

I love hammocks, really I do. But I do not like the fact that my leg or foot falls through the ropes and the fear of sitting down and falling out causes me. If you have had the experience of lying in a hammock and just relaxing from the daily stressors in life, you know how enjoyable of an experience it can be. Pinar Yar & Tugrul Govsa have designed a newer version of the hammock.

Two flower pots communicate between a window glass. A green plant that grows in the wild has many stories to tell the pot of exotic flowers. Quietly listen to them speak. Eventually, the two become one through a magnetic force that brings them together. One pot free to breath the air of the outside while the other pot shows off its’ beauty to those who are on the inside.
