Fact of life:  both shredders and shredding (the objects and the act) suck.

Cutting, however, is fun.  Take advantage of that fact by slicing your old bills to oblivion using this genius space-saver.

What do you get when you combine a table tamp with ’70s retro appeal with a sheen of shimmery metallic finish? The Cindy Lamp from Kartell. I’m not sure if I love these lamps or am repulsed. I am drawn to their teardrop base shape and fun metallic chrome-like finish radiating an iridescent glow. I could see these paired with a minimalist room on an all black matte night stand that would make these babies pop. What do you think of these extremely shiny lamps?

This Cindy lamp by Kartell comes in three colors: Platinum, Bronze and Violet. $273 at Barneys New York.

What amazes me about this silent auction benefiting the victims and survivors of the Haiti quake (besides the generosity of the artisans and crafters who donated their goods) is how quickly Indiefixx Jen put it together, which is a testament to the connectedness and get-things-done spirit of the indie community.
