Field Notes is offering their great pocket-sized notebooks in a six pack of colors, each one highlighting one of America's core crops. They come packaged with a small map showing where the crops are grown and a little triangular Field Note patch. Scoop one up before they're gone! -Bob
Arrange is the shoegazy ambient music project of 19-year-old Malcom Lacey. His new album, New Memory, is set to be released June 2, but it's available for pre-order here. You can also listen to the spooky song "Clouds" off the new album. - Hazel
We came across Corey Thompson's work when we Google Image-searched "you are awesome" in an attempt to find a photo to send to Hazel. Best Google find ever! Be sure to check out his illustrations and scroll through his fun Daily Doodles.
The only thing that's a bigger bummer than a broken skateboard is sending that broken skateboard to the landfill. As part of its Experiment With Nature project series, sustainable-wood-sunglass maker Shwood joined forces with pro skater Keith Hufnagel of streetwear brand HUF to refashion fragments of busted decks into a one-of-a-kind, not-for-sale pair of striated shades (top). Shwood also teamed up with Bushmills this season to make shades from the whiskey maker's 100-year-old white oak barrels (watch a video here), but those, sadly, sold out in just a couple of weeks. Here's hoping for more of both. -Eviana
I love these chunky, over-sized chain bracelets by Diana Broussard! They're available at Una Portland. - Hazel
While we love everything Pigeon Toe has to offer, the Faceted Magnets from their S/S 2012 Collection have really caught our eye. Looking at them makes us want to snap more polaroids, take more photo-booth pictures, and maybe even print out some on the images on our digital cameras (yeah right!)—all just for a reason to use them. Buy them individually or as a set of six here.
Pork Magazine is full of all kinds of crazy weirdo awesome RnR and art things that you'd be hard pressed to find another rag like it. They rule for running such a sick setup (that you can also thumb through online!) and you're a fool if you don't pick up their new Motorhead Snaggletooth inspired tee! X - Jen
Portland based Andi Kovel and Justin Parker of the internationally renowned Esque Studio have created a mesmerizing candle holder called The Wax Collector. The glass vase collects melted wax drops that over time resemble a layered sand painting. - Jennilee
Blouse's video for "Ghost Dream" is like we stepped into a wormhole, catapulting us into a computerized version of our brain. Filled with flashes of past TV moments, floating RVs and hazy hoop dreams, it's almost like it was taken straight from our memories and brought to our screen.
Walnut Studiolo's Bicycle Can Cage is perfect for those of us who prefer a quick caffeine pick-me-up over a bottle of water. Just watch our for bumpy roads or else you'll end up covered in sticky sweetness for the rest of your ride. (Warning: don't drink and ride!)
Yellena James uses a mixture of medias (including acrylics, pens, inks and markers) to create her brightly colored and extremely detailed artworks. Some look like they would be found under the sea in a coral reef, others in a trippy garden somewhere in Wonderland. Take us to both, please!
Be careful. This song might have you bawling at your computer. Wow.
Oh Spike, you drive a stake right through our hearts. Thank you, BettyTurbo, for creating the exact Valentine's Day card we want to receive this year. (And we'd like this for our next birthday, please.)
Will someone please tell us that this Papoose by The Good Flock comes in adult sizes? We just want to bundle up in that awesome Pendleton wool print and sleep the day away.
Artcrank is a series of bicycle inspired poster exhibitions that occur in cities across America. The next upcoming shows occur in Austin on February 24 and Minneapolis on April 7. Every city with a bustling art and cycling community should have one, how about Philly next? -Bob
Here are the Edison style bulbs from Portland company Schoolhouse Electric, which also happens to make some pretty neat lamps as well. The bulbs are fairly dim so there isn't much need for a shade, which also means you get to see the fancy filaments glow! They'd make a great present. -Bob
With their sketchbook-like quality and poetic content, Aidan Koch's comics are some of the most unique I have ever seen. Her work has been featured in publications like Gang Gang Bong and Bitch Magazine, with Koch being praised as a rising star in the Portland comic scene. Isn't she the coolest? - Hazel
I love this adorable and cosmic 2012 calendar by Apak Studio. I wonder if 2012 will look this cool? Probably not, but I can dream! - Hazel
How adorable are these bowties by Summerland? We want to go out and buy some more button up shirts to wear them with, though we think we would end up wearing them with anything.
The buzz was palpable as the Levi's Bike Shop rolled into Portland for the grand finale—an epic three day stint with the Oregon Manifest, a competition to design and build the ultimate modern utility bike. The who's who from the custom bike builder arena had all come together for the constructor's challenge in the bicycle mecca that is Portland.
