urban curiosities

sometimes i catch myself gawking at the strangest of things...

maybe it was strangeness that attracted me to EarthSeaWarrior's part creepy, part amazing, but beautiful online shop.  vintage babies with air plants sprouting out of their heads [amongst other body parts...], funky industrial lighting creations paired with brightly-colored cloth cords, a growing selection of found skulls and sea creatures [ethically sourced of course], and fantastic crystals with added points of interest such as carved skulls and minerals captured in corked vials.

i enjoy an odd conversation piece any day and was initially drawn to the unique placement of ESW's air plants...and have since fallen in love with their lighting fixtures.  especially this one which is a revamped cast iron candle stick with a fabulous light bulb with flowers that light up inside!  stunning. the combination of the bright neon green cord with the red flowers is fab - great use of color contrast. 

take a look around at the illuminations with beautiful pops of color and strange arrangements.
wander through the jungle of air plants growing in the most wonderful of objects.
buy some fantastical items for your home.
