Win It: T.ruffles.

I’m positively giddy (well, as giddy as I can be on a Monday morning) over this week’s giveaway! The T.ruffle girls, Mary and Karey, are two of my favorite people. And their shoppe? Well, it just happens to be one of my favorite things. Mary opens the doors early with a dazzling photo, while Karey closes up at night with the sweetest words. And this week they’re debuting a brand spankin’ new print right here, right now. For you. (And maybe a little for me, too, since coffee is another of my very favorite things.)

be brave.
because sometimes, it’s you against the world. don’t let it grind you up.

Umbra Tubby Organizer.

I’ll say it for the record, I’m not a lover of lucite and acrylic. I’ve tried and tried, but I just can’t seem to embrace it. Then I saw this little tubby organizer from Umbra and had the teeny, tiniest change of heart. Kitchen. Office. Yes, please.

Bin.

Bin is two parts: cylinder and lid. No mechanisms or levers. Nothing besides the genius of Shigeichiro Takeuchi. {via swissmiss}

Molecovers.

If you’re like me, your Moleskine notebooks go through a lot. They get stained, bent up and otherwise disfigured. Enter the Molecover. Use it again and again for your notebook protection needs while retaining its original integrity. {via Design Milk}

Architectural Mailboxes.

Architectural Mailboxes has a great line of highly attractive, well, mailboxes. Everything from the more ornate end of the spectrum to clean and modern lines. Some models even accommodate multiple-residence homes and apartments. Any one of them would be way better than the plain white my house is rockin’ at the moment. {via core77}
