The beauty of being a blogger is that I have a platform to share whatever noteworthy topic that pops into my head. Sometimes, the crazy stories I come across on the inter-web or the random thoughts that pop into my mind aren’t really noteworthy at all {on their own}. They usually make me pause, laugh, or just plain roll my eyes and I go on about my day.
So, without further ado, here’s this weeks edition of Random Goodness from Around the Web:
When One Door Closes, You Rebuild the Door
I just read about the most heartwarming thing a company is doing for dementia patients in nursing homes. The company, True Doors, makes made-to-measure stickers of doors for rooms or apartments. They’ll recreate the doors of the dementia patient’s old homes, so they not only feel comfortable in their new environment, but the custom doors stimulate memory and helps with orientation, making it easier for them to find their rooms in new environments such as a nursing home. How amazing is that?
A New Mexico pottery shop is turning human remains from cremations into coffee mugs, bottles and bowls. I can’t tell if I’m super creeped out by this, or I want my family to drink their tea out of Mavis cups when I’m gone {once they’ve been fired in a kiln, the glaze becomes food- and drink-safe}. It gives new meaning to artists becoming their art!
“Integrating someone’s ashes into ceramics is a way of infusing their memory into everyday life. So you can have coffee every morning with the memories of your grandmother, or have a bowl on the table to spark stories at family dinners,” owner, Justin Crowe said.
What do you think? Would you get a bowl made out of you or do you think it’s creepy?
The Cat in the {Cat} Hat
For your viewing pleasure, please enjoy this video of cats wearing hats made from their own fur. It’s so weird, I can’t stop watching!
Sticks and Stones May Break the Bank
Should we call this a blue light special {anyone remember those?}? For a measly $19.95, you can take home some logs. Yes, logs. Just logs. Like the ones you can go chop down in the forest or pick up off a beach or on the side of the road. For free. But apparently there’s a market for it because it’s a listed item. Would any of you buy these?
And that concludes this installment of Random Goodness from Around the Web. Please make sure to leave your random responses in the comment section.
