Fathom s Favorite Links: Week of May 23, 2015

What we're clicking on and talking about this week at #FathomHQ.

In October 2015, an abandoned house in Detroit will get some flower power love from local florists. They just did a preview earlier this month, and the photos are stunning. The Flower House will open to visitors from October 16 to 18, 2015, and I'm marking my calendar. – Becky, editorial assistant

Ever since drone cameras were released, I've been waiting for a video like this one of sixteen days in Antarctica. – Becky

I spent Tuesday morning combing through the National Stationery Show, where companies like Ditto Ditto and Hartford Prints! showed off their latest designs. It's was paper heaven. Next week I'm going to scope out the pencil scene at C. W. Pencil Enterprise on New York's LES. – Berit

I'm consistently impressed by the NYT's interactive series. The latest, called In Flight, describes a pilot's view of life in the sky from Heathrow to Tokyo. – Jeralyn, editorial director
