“Tô me afastando de tudo que me atrasa, me engana, me segura e me retém. Tô me aproximando de tudo que me faz completo, me faz feliz e que me quer bem. Tô aproveitando tudo de bom que essa nossa vida tem. Tô me dedicando de verdade pra agradar um outro alguém. Tô trazendo pra perto de mim quem eu gosto e quem gosta de mim também. Ultimamente eu só tô querendo ver o ‘bom’ que todo mundo tem. Relaxa, respira, se irritar é bom pra quem? Supera, suporta, entenda: isento de problemas eu não conheço ninguém. Queira viver, viver melhor, viver sorrindo e até os cem. Tô feliz, to despreocupado, com a vida eu to de bem.”

The Sutton Clock Shop on New York’s Upper East Side has been serving its customers for over 60 years and is truly a father-son business. Perched above the streets and filled to the brim with clocks of every shape and size, it’s a place where time continues to pass, and yet, simultaneously stand still.

Another great profile from Etsy.tv. 

“The Joy of Books” is a wonderful stop-motion animation in which the books in a small bookshop come alive at night. The animation is by Sean Ohlenkamp and quite a large number of volunteer book wranglers. It was shot after hours at Type Books in Toronto.

Two years ago, Dutch artists Lernert & Sander filmed a short for MTV Europe by building and playing music on a rainbow-colored glass harp. It makes for a great audio and visual combo. (Also, who knew we’d have more than one glass harp video to watch?!)
