Oh man. The Mortimer Bust Candle is so very me. (The girl who keeps Halloween skulls out all year as part of her decor.) I love that it’s ever-changing with each use, and completely creepy and awesome at the very same time.
It’s referred to as a cake stand, but I’m thinking this is more of a tiered server or fruit stand. In my world that means it’s really for collecting my rings and baubles upon my dresser. Don’t you love how it stacks together and still manages to look good? Me, too.

Design In a Bag is a seriously good idea that works by introducing you to collections of professionally coordinated kitchen and bath design recipes. It’s like you’re getting an interior designer’s expertise without the high price. Browse online galleries of coordinated kitchen and bath looks, each carefully designed and crafted by Rebekah Zaveloff. After picking your favorite concept (or two, or three) into the mail it goes! Complete concepts include cabinet, countertop, tile and paint samples, shopping list and hand-drawn renderings. Once they show up at your door you can sit down with a glass of wine, feel the materials, and picture your redesigned room before taking action.
This week one of you has the chance to win the concept of your choice and get crackin’ on that room that screams ugly.

Paper, wire, baker’s twine, beads. That’s it. That’s all that haru uses to create these one-0f-a-kind paper mobiles made out of connected medallions. I have the perfect spot in my kitchen all picked out. {via Creature Comforts}
The cone is usually my favorite part of the ice cream experience (with all that melty sweet ice cream inside – yum), but for these porcelain Sugar Cones by Virginia Sin I think I’ll make an exception.
I want five of these, and I want them now. These ceramic aqua-hued vases would look perfect all lined up in a row across my white mantle, packed with stems or not. {thanks Black*Eiffel}
The Swing Necklace is quite literally jewelry for your home. This handmade piece, designed by Johanna Richter, is available in either gray balls of felt or oiled Beechwood. And oh yes, it’s an actual swing. {thanks Two Brunettes}
Yesterday I took what can only be described as the World’s Sweatiest Nap. My air conditioner (more specifically the freon in it) and I have been at odds all summer, and yesterday required yet another visit from the repairman. After he told me what the latest problem was (frozen lines) I laid down for a little shuteye. It was downright cool by this summer’s standards, but an hour later I awoke drowning in my own sweat. So gross.
I love a good nap, so much so that I consider it a hobby. One I’m damn good at. And once the weather cools a bit more I’d love to cozy up with the Nap Bag. It’s versatile: nap in it, picnic on it, or use it as a throw. {thanks bltd}
