Cool Stuff: Vintage British Bus Signs at Eden & Eden

In keeping with my recent fixation on the iconography of mass transit (see previous examples here, here, and here), I'm digging these large framed sections from vintage London bus rolls. Above: No. 460

No. 611

Simple, bold, a graphic -- love 'em! They're $38 to $68 each from San Francisco's Eden & Eden.

Cool Stuff: Coffee and Tea Time at Eden and Eden

What's your poison? Mine is coffee, big time -- but maybe you're more of a tea person.

Whatever bevvy gets you through the day, you'll savor it all the more in one of these lovely handmade porcelain beakers from Swedish ceramist Karin Eriksson. The vessels are subtly printed with the names of various java and tea blends, and made to fit perfectly in your hand. They're $42 to $52 each, depending on size, at San Francisco's Eden and Eden.

Tea time would be even more special with a few extra accouterments hand-selected by the shop's British proprietress, Rachel Eden. Above: Brown Betty Teapot with Handknit Wool Cosy, $70

Lasercut Felt Coasters from Donna Wilson, $38 for four


Donna Wilson Lasercut Felt Doily, $38
