Lego Head Egg Timer
I would love to find this under the tree this Christmas!
from the Lego Shop:
“LEGO® counting in the kitchen!
It’s not just a LEGO® minifigure head…it’s a LEGO egg timer! Just twist the top to set the timer to ring after anything from a minute to an hour. Ticks off the seconds and rings when done!
- Timer is decorated with three minifigure faces – set the timer to swap eyes and mouths!
- Counts minutes up to an hour, just turn the timer to 60 before winding it up!”

The Oxford Project
“In 1984, Peter Feldstein set out to photograph every resident of his town, Oxford, Iowa
(pop. 676). Twenty years later, he did it again. But this time those same residents did more
than pose. With extraordinary honesty, they shared their memories, fantasies, failures,
secrets and fears with writer Stephen G. Bloom. The result is a riveting collection of
personal stories and portraits that tell much more than the tale of one small Midwestern
town. Because beneath Oxford’s everyday surface, lives a complex and wondrous
community that embodies the American spirit. “

“Records were melted and sculpted to form a cascading wave, dotted with bursts of colorful labels.”
