so all of a sudden…
August 24th, 2006
I want to repaint my boy’s room. Because I love these alphabet flash cards. And when I say “love,” I mean, “lovelovelove gottahavethem MUSTbuythem loveloveLOVE” them. They have tikis! They have robots! They have the Eames lounge chair!
I love them so much, I wouldn’t actually let him use them as flash cards. Oh no — he can just gnaw on the old, dinged-up Baby Einstein set. I want these framed. Or maybe used as a border. Wait, nah, they’re too expensive to use as a border. Plus that would be too much like wallpaper and wallpaper is evil.
So now, hmmmmm, back to that painting thing… his room is aqua. And I just painted it last year, so I’m not too hep on doing it again. Perhaps I could frame them and use them in the family room. Will people laugh at me for having flash card art in my house? Very likely. But these same people probably have Thomas Kinkade “art” in their houses. And so we’re even.

I want these, only I want them at about twice the size; at least 5×5, maybe even 8×8.
They are spectacular!

For stuff like this, I *WILL* return daily (or however often you’re updating). Not only that, I will be buying these flashcards for my soon-to-be-borned nephew who, due to being a little brother to Jake-the-genuis, already has everything else under the sun.
Know what else? I’d love to see a pic of that aqua room. Just a little vingette or glimpse of a corner, because something tells me there are some interesting colors splashed against that aqua.
Your cool stuff site gets my vote. AND it gives you a great hook for ads on your site — cha ching!

I know! They are tiny… soooo tiny. What’s up with that? I’m thinking matted, in a poster-sized frame.
WT, I will definitely show you pics of the aqua room someday. You know, when it’s finished. You know, when he’s like 13, and hates the aqua and wants to paint it all black or something.
