The Bushmills Distillery in Ireland happens to be a favorite of Elijah Wood (you know Frodo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings movies) and his friend Zach Cowie. They decided to bring two things they love together, that is Bushmills Whiskey and some good music. How did they pull it off? By designing a set of Grado headphones made from the very barrels that stored the whiskey. The head piece is leather, the ear pieces are the wooden part.  Each one is packaged as the treasure they are, tucked inside a protective pouch, then placed in a charming wooden box. Available now form Turntable Lab.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
