The Bamboo radio link doesn’t work. Is there any other place to get that?
Hi Josh!
Sadly, it’s out of stock already! Craziness. This one is a bit similar though:

Or you can purchase it from this store in the UK:

Apparently Anthropologie is selling it online, too:

Thanks, Josh!

You have no idea how thrilled I am about finding the, no, THE Brother-in-law LIST! Hardest person on my list. Had to laugh. Dob or Dop? Still debated heavily in my house…
I’ve enjoyed meandering around Design for Mankind today and have included your list on my list of lists at TLPC. Also enjoyed your sun-porch make-over video at HGTV! Smart!
Hope you’re having a great holiday season.
Best,
Lisa
Thanks so much, sweet Lisa! Great to hear from you!
