It's hard to find a bargain today, but I found some luck. Here I present 10 great retro modern wall clocks each under $300. These clocks are the creation of a metal artist in the U.S. Steve Cambronne is a full time artist that has been traveling and selling art for the last twenty years.

Eva Solo Glass Bird Feeders

Among the many clever designs of Eva Solo is the glass bird feeders pictured here. The round shape is different from most bird feeders on the market today which often depict rectangular or "house" shapes. I find that the round shape creates a delicate look while the glass provides a "birds eye view" into the private nature of these animals. Price: $60. Available: here.

EDITT Tower - Singapore Goes Eco-Friendly

What, you though only Dubai and China have the most stunning buildings in the world? Guess again, because EDITT Tower (“Ecological Design In The Tropics”) will be built in Singapore with the financial support of their National University and should be the most eco-friendly in the country. The most interesting thing is that this 26-storey building will use photovotaic panels and will be wrapped in organic local vegetation that will act as a living wall insulator. More to it, the skyscraper was designed to collect rain-water, both for plant irrigation and for its “needs”. If you want to congratulate someone, T.R.Hamzah & Yeang have had their hands on the project. They’re responsible with the pictures below. - via Inhabitat
