We’re so excited about this Guest Thingies ep with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dusendusen/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ellen Van Dusen</a> of <a href="https://www.dusendusen.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dusen Dusen</a>—a greatest hit if there ever was one! But first, some nuggets of wisdom from famously creative famous dudes.We’re definitely taking inspiration from <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-50403561" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rod Stewart’s model railway</a> side project and <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/gq-hype-austin-butler" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tom Hanks's advice to Austin Butler</a>.&nbsp;Ellen’s Thingies include being comfortable inside and outside the home (please see: <a href="https://www.dusendusen.com/pages/shop#bathrobe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">her delightful robes</a>…and <a href="https://store.moma.org/accessories/apparel/dusen-dusen-for-moma-subu-slippers/17875-160523.html#q=dusen&lang=en_US&start=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">brand-new slippers</a>!!), <a href="https://www.instagram.com/favetiktoks420/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Favetiktoks420</a> on Instagram, and cool silverware (especially <a href="https://collection.cooperhewitt.org/objects/18621771/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">David Tisdale’s Picnic Flatware</a>, which makes us think of <a href="https://ahimsahome.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ahimsa dinnerware for kids</a>). She also loves tile right now—see: <a href="https://www.heathceramics.com/pages/heath-tile?utm_campaign=%7Bcampaign%7D&adgroup=%7Badgroup%7D&utm_content=591167398047&utm_term=tiles&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmdGYBhDRARIsABmSEePJI2LQZl493sC7EAen8bmv0bBfaRBepywM5HiPrlPPRzJOCbW8bnoaAgZmEALw_wcB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Heath Ceramics</a>, <a href="https://concretelove.com/products/cooler-gallery-flower-dusen-dusen-box-of-13?_pos=1&_sid=84382caf8&_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">her collab with Concrete Collaborative</a>, <a href="https://www.fireclaytile.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fireclay</a>, and <a href="https://oasistile.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwmdGYBhDRARIsABmSEeMqgaXG-cFwX3jVFkkBRUajtv8L_c4zfSh4btg8-DFCAiSqZM0UnbEaAoAyEALw_wcB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Oasis</a>—and you have to, have to check out <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUliB7ONIrE/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">her backyard mosaic</a>. Last but not least: Her love of bird-watching has us asking when she’s going to start selling <a href="https://www.bbg.org/feature/birdhouses/ellen_van_dusen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the birdhouse she designed</a> for <a href="https://www.bbg.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brooklyn Botanic Garden</a> (in the meantime, <a href="https://store.moma.org/for-the-home/home/indoor-outdoor-gardening/wildlife-garden-birdhouse-and-feeder/400274-400274.html#q=birdhouse&lang=en_US&start=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the MoMA one</a> we’re all into). Ooh, and as we told Ellen, Where'd You Go, Bernadette is <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1385/9780316204262" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a great book</a> and <a href="https://www.hulu.com/movie/whered-you-go-bernadette-3ff159e6-e8b7-4f6a-b911-9218f4a6c22d?entity_id=3ff159e6-e8b7-4f6a-b911-9218f4a6c22d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a much better movie</a> than it gets credit for being.Share your dream Thingies guests with us at 833-632-5463, podcast@athingortwohq.com, or<a href="https://www.instagram.com/athingortwohq/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @athingortwohq</a>.
