  Fidgety Fingers — Authority: 139
  We have no idea why one would use a measuring tape to make a rosette when a measuring tape is perfectly useful. It is cute nonetheless, especially as a gift for a fashion designer friend.

  Fidgety Fingers — Authority: 139
  This is the chandelier of a restaurant in Asia. It is very green but a bit scary to walk under. We hope it is secured properly. It is a superb conversation piece, but we would not put something like that in our homes. Over our dead bodies!
