46 Clever Keynovations
From Tactile Giggle Accessories to Precious Metal Pendants:
Meghan Young — Oct 28, 2009 — Art & Design
I have lost so many keys in my life, I can’t help but dread the idea of owning any keys. In fact, my loved ones have become so fed up with my neglect towards keys that they’ve had to take measures to ensure that I can no longer lose them. But after seeing these clever keynovations, I have the urge to go out and replace my lock-openers.
