Mmmmm, down. Great for those early fall snowboarding trips or just taking a walk with grandma to look at the leaves. Note: this post mostly inspired by the fact that fall has suddenly and without warning descended on western North Dakota, taking me entirely by surprise.

Here’s a second entry for the National Parks theme of the day. Why is it today’s theme? Well, today is the birthday of the National Park Service! That’s right, folks. Ninety-two years of hot women in uniforms protecting the environment. Anyway, this lampshade is made from all-recycled materials including old slides from many national parks. You can use this to put on slide shows, or just to study awkwardly as you sit on the couch at a party.
