Posted In happy weekendThis recipe for Tomatoes Crème Brulée looks interesting. If I could manage to get the idea of a traditional crème brulée being a dessert out of my head I think it might be really tasty. But am I that adventurous? Are you?
Yesterday I received an email from Bethany at Found My Animal and could hardly wait to share this awesome business endeavor with you! Found My Animal creates really cool leashes and collars for your pups and an astounding 25% of the profits go towards Louis Animal Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to spaying/neutering and providing homes for animals who have not yet ‘found’ their people. Both my cat, Peanut, and my dog, Piper, are rescues so this is a cause that is very near and dear to my heart.
Let’s not forget to mention how unbelievably cool these products are either! The leashes are custom-made rope crafted by New England rope-makers and guaranteed to withstand thousands of pounds of pull (not to mention a great alternative to leather). The individually-numbered, stamped brass tags on each leash serve as a reminder of the uniqueness of your animal and allow FMA to keep track of the number of animals helped. The collars are made from waxwear, a cotton canvas that’s coated with animal safe wax for weather resistance and increased wear. Stayed tuned because harnesses are being released next month!
I love the fun illustration styles the artists at Red Cap Cards use on their cards. Some are downright Tim Burton-esque, which is awesome. Johnny Depp would totally endorse these.

“Mallard is a specialist tea company which sells loose leaf tea through its shop and tearoom in Knutsford. The mix and match branding is inspired by the eclectic feel of the establishment which is quirky, eccentric and unmistakably English.”
