Umblam Creanga/ Branch Out

A venit, a venit toamna… A venit de ceva timp deja, frunzele s-au aplecat la picioarele noastre, iar copacii s-au dezgolit fara pic de rusine aratandu-si crengile uscate si noduroase ca un fel de trofee de vanatoare. Plimbarile prin padure toamna sunt o adevarata misiune in urma caruia poti pleca cu un cos intreg de minunatii: frunze in cele mai frumoase culori, ghinde, conuri si crengi in forme cat mai deosebite.
Autumn is here…It’s been here a while now, the leaves have fallen at our feet and the trees have stripped bare, shamelessly showing their hard, dry branches like some hunting trophies. A walk in the woods turns into a real quest to find all kinds of wonders: leaves in the most beautiful colors, acorns, pine cones and branches in all kinds of shapes.

Iar astazi, ati ghicit, vom folosi unul din aceste daruri ale toamnei: o creanga pe care o vom transforma intr-un obiect de decor foarte rustic-chic sau intr-un suport deosebit de bijuterii sau de ce nu, intr-un cuier de haine.
And today, you’ve guessed it, we will be using one of autumns gifts: a fallen branch which we’ll transform into a decorative object with a rustic-chic look or into a marvelous jewelry rack or, why not, a coat hanger.

Office Bling-Bic

Ati auzit de pixurile BIC nu? Probabil ca aveti vreunul ratacit prin birou pe undeva. El a aparut in 1945 si a fost proiectat ca fiind un pix ieftin, de unica folosinta, care poate scrie pana la 2km sau 100.00 de cuvinte. Devenind un adevarat icon, in ciuda acuzatiilo ca ar deforma scrisul, unii l-au reinterpretat in maniere mai luxoase. Mai exact, pixul a fost turnat in metal precum otel, bronz, dar si argint si aur. Bineinteles ca un BIC din aur sau aur rozare si un cost pe masura, aprox 8000$. Si desi arata atat de chic, e greu sa dai atatia bani pe un pix de unica folosinta.

You have heard about BIC pens right? You know, the inventors of the ball-point pen… You probably have at least one lost around your office. It was first invented in 1945 and was designed as a cheap, disposable pen which could write for up to 2 km or 100.000 words. It became a true icon, despite the claims that it deformed writing, and some people have re-interpreted this cheap item in a more luxurious manner. To be more specific, the pen has been cast in precious metals such as steal, bronze and even silver and gold. Of course, a BIC pen made out of solid gold or pink gold has a price worthy of it’s name, roughly 8000$. Even though it looks chic, it’s hard to imagine spending that kind of money on a disposable pen.
