rattus rattus

One of my favorite presents for our year of the rat wedding (L knows me well) was a set of Invasive Species Dinnerware from non fiction design collective, including Ship Rat, Gypsy Moth, Fire Ant and European Starling plates.

So rad.

Now I want this chandelier.

  1. OK, rats completely freak me out (a product of living in NYC, of course!), but these are awesome!

  2. awesome.

    and that chandelier looks do-able.
    I say you get a hanging fixture from IKEA, some Christmas bulbs, and those rubber rats from the dollar store, and spray paint them white.

    what a conversational piece.

  4. The entire concept of invasive species dinnerware is cracking me up. Although, honestly, I'm not sure I could eat off the rat plate. And I'm not that squeamish, usually.

  5. I am not doing very well with the chandelier. It makes me want to hide. I'm sorry I'm not as cool as you.

  6. Was it mean of me not to offer a warning? I grew up with pet rats so I luuurv them.

  7. Maybe a teensy warning. Like a "WARNING: This next post has a little girl with a rat on her head, but she is not even being gobbled by that rat. In fact, rats are very nice" kind of warning.
