While only a concept, this is a super awesome idea. Should we ever own our own place (and this be in production), I’d totally raid our piggy banks to get one.

One downside: it doesn’t seem that you’d be able to use it just to rest things on. Burny handbag, anyone?

I’m really not sure whether to laugh or cry so I’m currently in the middle and cringing.  Lots.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you…  CarLashes.

Yes.  The concept is that CarLashes are eyelashes for your car.  As with all kick ass ideas, I’m surprised it took 100 odd years of automotive innovation for someone to come up with them.  No matter, what’s important is that they’re available here and now, shipped to your Australian door for about 35USD.  But wait, there’s more…

The perfect accessory for your CarLashes accessory is Crystal Eyeliner which ‘sparkles in the sun and throws dazzling rainbows‘.  I know!

If anyone in the That’s Noice Universe buys and installs CarLashes or Crystal Eyeliner to their Australian car, please do send in a photo.

We have been back on the health kick at our place recently. Trying to find yummy stuff to nibble on during the day can be a challenge. I don’t mind normal rice cakes, though they aren’t too great on their own.

Spotted these in woolies the other week, and thought i’d give them a try.

Sunrice caramel rice cakes. O…MG. They are SO f’ing awesome! I have everyone at home and at work hooked on them. They taste a lot like lolly gobble bliss bombs, with a hell of a lot less calories.

They also come in Apple and cinnamon (which I HATED) and Honey, but I haven’t been able to find these in the shops yet.

While I certainly don’t endorse cruelty to animals, this just happens to be the most adorable bowling set ever.

Who needs TV when you have Bowling Kitties! This was created for a fun family game night. It is great for all ages to play together and helps little ones with hand-eye coordination as well as counting (“How many kitties did you knock down?”). Keep the house clutter free with the included canvas bag, made just for the Bowling Kitty set.

All the kitties are made in maple and feature carved faces, white bodies in red stripes, and sanded edges (no sharp corners!)

Best of all, you don’t hurt any kitties! Sounds way more fun than normal bowling. Made by Sara and Ben of Kitty Baby Love, this awesome set sells for US$45 through Etsy.

The Industrial Designer that created this concept designed it to ‘encourage quick and critical thinking‘ by children. I think they’re overlooking a potentially massive market for it… young professionals with too much disposable income and not enough nostalgic furniture.

While I currently lack the disposable income, I’d definitely have a stack of Tetris blocks in my lounge room.  Think of the endless possibilities of couch configurations!!

Sadly it’s not available for purchase.  But if it ever gets commercially made, I’d be first in line.

Shame that these “nesting” dolls by Ginger Williams aren’t for sale:

Apart from the Golden Girls She’s also re-created the Sex & The City girls, Kiss, Saved By The Bell (hell, yes!) and even The Beatles.

I suppose creating a set in the image of Twilight or True Blood would be in order?

In Redcliffe, north of Brisbane, there are some very busy women – 7 of them in fact – knitting and crocheting for Biddy Bags. Biddy Bags, the brainchild of Samantha Jockel, combines the creativity of young designers with the skills and abilities of crafting nannas to produce handcrafted, ethical designer products. Through this Biddy Bags also connects socially isolated nannas and mature-aged ladies through craft, economic participation and social networking.

Their products range from awesome handbags to tea cosies and ipod covers. Each product comes with a fridge magnet that tells the story of it’s maker. For each product sold the woman who crafted it receives over half of the profit with the remainder being used to cover operational costs and to expand the enterprise’s reach – so you can feel all warm and fuzzy knowing that you’ve supported such a talented pensioner.

You can purchase Biddy Bags and other products straight from their website, or visit one of their stockists. Prices range between AU$22 and $80, depending on the product. And of course you can also follow @BiddyBags on twitter.

Think we have all seen the giant kitteh couch that has been doing the rounds this week. But there have been little detail about the what, why and where of this furry giant

The couch is part of the Unfold art installation in Belgium, 8 artists are taking over an old apartment block.

Also part of this installation, in the bathroom there is a small video projection of a cat drinking from the dripping tap.

Check out the rest at Unfold, they even have the pattern so you could make your own if you are so inclined.

Via craftzine and HT to Maliss for the nudge ;)

We maybe a *little* kitteh biased here at That’s Noice. I’m sure you hadn’t noticed ;)

But now that we have a new babeh in the house I have been spending a little too much time (and OMG let’s not talk about the $$$) shopping for doggie stuff.

Looking for a a decent dog collar with a feminine touch I came across Hamish McBeth. Love the range, was a hard choice. All made from quality leather.

We ended up with this brown bone design, and she looks super cute in it..if I do say so. They also have cat collars, and some other great goodies.

Service was fantastic too I might add. Seeings a certain persons can’t use a tape measure properly and I ordered the wrong size and had to send it back *blush*
