Continuing on with our year celebration here are my four favorite posts from Offbeat March 2008…

I double dare someone to build an entire house out of these… - I really like shaped and nicely designed bricks and other building materials. If you’ve got kooky building supplies, you might not even need a weird home design to pull off an offbeat home.

Classic Offbeat Homes: Favorite Posts of Spammers - I more like this post because someone emailed me later and had some ideas about why “Eating the Biscuit City” was so popular with spammers. Um, the ideas are not G or even PG rated, so I won’t be posting them, but let’s just say it sort of made my world more amusing.

Best Site of the Week for Touring - Faces in Places - This post wasn’t exactly about houses. However Faces in Places is so darn cool, that I just love this post. It makes me happy. I love surprised houses.

Freitag Flagship Store - I just think this structure is genius. Simple, yet really attractive and hip.

I’ve been spending a lot of time looking over the archives of Faces in Places, a stupendous blog. As you might imagine this blog searches out the weird of the weird when it comes to faces in, well, places you don’t expect. I love the idea and double love (as my boy would say) the whole blog. My son looked at all the cool faces for a good long while - and blogs mostly bore him.

Check out these two examples - I gravitated to the home posts (are you shocked) but couldn’t resist the bird photo. 

Shocking view

Lucy in the sky

I also really adore Straw hat, happy bag, Tick tock, and Zippy, and almost all the architecture posts are cool. The only problem is that now Cedar and I are looking everywhere for faces. Or, maybe that’s not such a bad deal.
