strange, important things

Oops, it's been five days. Here we are. There are 16 days until Christmas and I'm starting to feel the spirit despite the rainy weather. The snow is melting and the sky is dull but it feels great. I haven't been to the mall in ages so it'll be interesting to visit one and see all the holiday decorations and emphasized displays as a result of overflowing stock rooms!

A project by Nadine Grenie, a message is posted every 12 hours with more than 500 clocks.

Are you one to squeeze your pop can when done your soda? I doubt you'll want to squeeze these delicate cans. They're made of porcelain. These hand-painted porcelain cans are made by Lei Xue. I don't think you'll find Sprite or Coca-Cola in these ones.
