How Would You . . .
Dating back to the 1920s, this Pair of Bindery Carts ($1,750) from Bond and Bowery are a rare and interesting find. These super-strong carts were once used to ferry books and paper around binderies. But, as you may have suspected, I am not in the business of sourcing furniture for publishers.
Found It! Vintage Industrial Peg Leg Cart
In the next installation of Found It!, I bring you the Vintage Industrial Peg Leg Cart ($799) from American Furnishings. You may have seen this cart used as a coffee table in the boho-modern living room of a couple living in Malmö in my Coveted Crib. In my post, I wrote, "I also adore their coffee table, which looks like a re-purposed dolly (with wheels) of some sort."
Crave Worthy: Bordbar Recycled Airplane Trolleys
I know a collector of all things airline-related who wheels out an authentic airplane drink cart whenever he has a party. It looks like German company Bordbar has the same idea. The company refurbishes old airplane drink carts to create infinitely hipper portable storage cabinets, with bright, bold patterns and user-friendly enhancements.
Dumbass Of the Day
Let's give this dude points for creative thinking. He knew he had to be somewhere and that he was too drunk to drive, so he decided to drive someone's golf cart instead. The problem is: a DUI is a DUI.

Grocery Cart Cords: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding?
I never realized that runaway shopping carts were such an issue until I saw a mother running after a cart that was flying through the parking lot with her tot inside. I must not be the only one who has witnessed this, as I was recently made aware of two products designed to prevent such incidents.
The Cart Stopper (shown on the left) and the Kart Katcher (shown on the right) secure shopping carts to vehicles to keep you from having to sprint through the parking lot.
Do You Have a Bar Cart?
I've been on the hunt for a retro bar cart lately, and was recently tempted by a Lucite one on Craigslist. To be honest, I don't even drink liquor — I prefer vino and Hefeweizen — but I just love the way they look. Admittedly, I also dream about having groovy cocktail parties, serving up spirits to my pals in my growing collection of highball glasses, while doing the twist.
MediaCarts Make Shopping Easier, but Is It Worth It?
Do you ever wander the aisles of a grocery store hunting for a particular item and wish there was an easy way to find it? Well the folks at Microsoft have partnered with the Wakefern Food Corporation and will provide their customers with grocery cart-mounted consoles that will help them navigate the store. It also allows them to scan and pay for their items without waiting in line.
High Tech Grocery Cart: Love It or Leave It?
How would you like it if grocery carts had touch screens and barcode scanners that you could use to get nutritional info and environmental impact info from about various foods? The Technology Services Company, EDS, outlined in a recent paper that grocery carts with computer screens would be a practical and cost-effective solution to consumers who like knowing about the foods they consume— even though most said they preferred reading labels directly from the box. Considering the fact that people steal shopping carts minus any high tech trinkets, I can only imagine how crazy thieves would go over these!
The Shopping Buggy Boogie
They say that life only gets better with age and after watching this spectacular shopping cart show, I'm a believer. If the elderly can squeeze this much joy and entertainment out of a couple of empty grocery carts then imagine the bliss they must feel when they — oh, I don't know — finish that 24,000-piece jigsaw puzzle or score the last prune in the cookie jar. I'm incredibly jealous, but watching Swan Parking Lot here should make it all better .
