Gifted: Meringue Rings.

Starting this afternnon, I’ll be showcasing different gift ideas here and there through the holidays under the tag gifted. Who knows, you just may see something that’s a perfect fit for someone on your Christmas shopping list. Or maybe even something to indulge in for yourself!

Deceitful meringue rings that are crafted out of industrial grade silicone as opposed to egg whites and sugar. A perfect fit for the baker in your life. Don’t you just want to take a bite? {via poppytalk}

amelia mae.

When Caroline and I hit up the Girlie Show last weekend, one of the booths that really stood out to me was Oklahoma’s own amelia mae. Her prints are very graphic-based and I ended up buying the postcard version of this one.


But what really got me was when Caroline told me the tale of the artist’s other shop. Project 8256. All of the profits from Project 8256 go directly towards an adoption fund for her sister and brother-in-law who are in the lengthy process of adopting two children from Ethiopia. And to AHOPE, an orphanage in Addis Ababa that cares for HIV+ children. You can find out more information about both Amy and Project 8256 by visiting the blog.

Lorax.

I am the Lorax.
I speak for the trees.
For the trees have no tongues.

Totally digging this Lorax poster, paying homage to the 1971 Dr. Seuss classic that speaks to the damaging effects of humanity on the environment. A real short run of only twenty signed posters that are printed on reclaimed paper using soy inks. {via BB-Blog}

Soia & Kyo.

The temps are still hanging out in the 60s around here, but on the weather this morning I happened to catch that a cold front is moving in this weekend and bringing the 40s with it! Being the coat-obsessed gal that I am, I began daydreaming about wearing all of my favorite cold weather regalia. And then I thought about the Soia & Kyo coats I’d checked out on sale last week and have yet to own. {via for me, for you}
