Souvenirs Inspires Travel, Creativity in Photography
Flickr is a dreamland — but while you get to be exposed to a wide variety of photography, amateur and professional, it's overwhelming and sometimes difficult to find new streams that move you. That is, until you find something like photographer Michael Hughes's set of images, called souvenirs.
Hughes's cheeky photos consist of images where he holds the miniature version of a landmark up to the actual landmark that inspired it, like the Eiffel Tower or the Brandenburg Gate.

Etsy Find: De Beaux Souvenirs Bingo Basket
Ever since I discovered Marie Christophe's wire sculpture light fixtures, I've had a new-found love for wire art. My latest wire art discovery is the work of French designer Claire Rougerie, also known as De Beaux Souvenirs. Her collection of modern wire designs includes handmade home accessories like sconces, table lamps, frames, baskets, decorative accents, as well as "snapshots" of scenery recreated in wire.
Souvenirs Just Got Crappier
Buyer Beware! As if souvenirs weren't cheap enough, the folks at a Thai zoo have devised a way to make their gift shop inventory even more undesirable. The zoo is recycling panda dung to make "panda excrement paper," used to produce souvenir fans, greeting cards, key chains, and book marks.
Mad Men: This Week's 5 Maddest Moments
It's Summer in the '60s in this week's Mad Men, and the latest episode, "Souvenir" is all about getting out of dodge or being left behind, and how it affects relationships.

Trend Alert: Non-Souvenir Matryoshka Dolls
As a kid, I always hoped to have a generous relative vacation in Russia, so I'd wind up with a set of Matryoska nesting dolls to play with. I still think the dolls are cute, inventive, and entertaining, but would like to rid my home of airport souvenirs. So, I've been happy to see the Matryoshka imagery and shape creatively re-envisioned as home accents and other furnishings.
Wee Love the 80s: Vintage Tees
If you've got a wild child who likes to get down, dress him up in some duds that showcase his musical style. Pint-sized concert tees featuring the best of the 80's touring bands are all the rage right now, with even the smallest sizes sporting logos from great arena bands. From Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band to Kiss and Run DMC, the shirts are more likely to reflect mama's rock and roll days than her wee ones.
How-To: Be a Groupie
To Jonas Brothers fans, being a "groupie" comes naturally. But there's another kind of group love I'm rooting for, and it concerns our new CasaSugar Decor Community. Hopefully, you got the lowdown on it from my introduction on Tuesday and are ready and rarin' to join a group!
Bruce Donates Die Hard Souvenirs
Bruce headed down to DC to generously donate some of his Live Free Or Die Hard memorabilia to the Smithsonian National Museum of History. The museum is now the lucky owner of a dirty t-shirt Bruce wore in the original Die Hard movie, along with some other, more recent props. It will be on display with the likes of R2D2 and C3PO from Star Wars, and the ruby slippers Judy Garland wore in The Wizard of Oz.
Casa Quickie: Endless Summer Decorating
Just because we're reaching the end of the Summer season doesn't meant that your home decorating scheme has to bid the Summer adieu, too. While fresh-cut garden flowers will disappear after Indian Summer, there are other souvenirs of your beach season that can last all year round. Gather shells the next time you swing by the ocean, and then use them to decorate your home.
