I’m mad about this DIY planter, and all you need are a bunch of 12″ cinderblocks and liquid nails. Okay, probably a little lot of elbow grease, too. Thinking about doing a pint-sized version on my front porch.

The Area Code Project is helmed by Mike McQuade, who’s attempting to make a poster for every area code in the U.S. starting with Illinois. The posters are one color serigraphs and each one is hand numbered, signed, then embossed. You can also score a screen printed canvas smart phone case. (via Seamless Creative’s pin}

Check out some unexpected multifunctional design in Molo Design’s Hobo Lantern + Bag. The felted wool bag is sturdy, durable, and works well for day-to-day use. Empty the bag, turn on the LED light source, and you have a portable luminary that beautifully highlights the felt’s natural weave.

Do you ever find that perfect meant-to-be piece for your seasonal wardrobe that you can’t get out of your mind? These Marais USA Espadrille Wedges embody summer and I can’t stop thinking about the tomato red pair above. Without the wedge they’d be acceptable, without the delicate ankle strap maybe okay. But everything together is screaming JEANS! SKIRTS! SUNDRESSES! at me. On second thought, maybe I need to be more concerned about shoes talking to me than acquiring these.

I love these tiny delicate bracelets. The instructions are in German, but if you don’t want to go through the trouble of translating they look simple enough to figure out from the photos.
(And once again, yellow gold. I’m turning into my mother.)
