In God We Trust.

I’ve always been drawn to the unique (sometimes wonderfully snarky) handmade pieces In God We Trust creates, but that ring? It had me at hello. It’s even called the Rad Ring. Wish List, meet your newest member.

No. 144 Shoe Clips.

When I first saw these shoe clips from No. 144 I was immediately reminded of a similar thing my mom had when I was a kid. Clip on shoe accessories that breathed a bit of new life into a pair of heels she’d tired of or to match a certain outfit for a special occasion. I wonder why they’ve never been more popular when there’s the chance to make one pair of simple shoes look like ten. Love the bright colors! {via SeeSaw Designs}

Mod Pumpkins.

I’m completely off the ball this year when it comes to pumpkins. I had the best intentions of getting mine a few weekends ago, but then got sick and not thinking about pumpkins so much. I’m hoping today’s the day. And since carving jack o’ lanterns can be time consuming I’ve decided to go this route, that of the Mod Pumpkin. Some poster paint (or tempera), masking or painters tape, and they’ll be good to go! {via Happy Mundane}

Triangles.

When pressed to name my favorite shape I inevitably go with the circle. I like its fluid line, how there’s no real start or end to it all. But these days, at least in my own personal shape race, the triangle is closing the lead. It’s like the more angular, striking sister to the circle and I think I’m ready to have more of her in my life.
