Sophie Blackall of Brooklyn is the mastermind artist behind Missed Connections, a blog all about missed opportunity and interaction. She takes random passings and creates the most beautiful imagery, then tells short stories about the moments behind them. I love her style and quippy humor, not to mention her handwriting!

Digit Spice Jars perfect for the typophile or the overly organized. I’d be perfectly content with owning the #4 (it’s my lucky number!).
The Gemmy was created from farmer’s market inspiration and a tub of boysenberries. The bright jewel toned color is just begging you to take a sip and dive right in!
The Gemmy
• ½ tangerine (or sweet citrus), juiced
• ½ lemon, juiced
• 5 boysenberries
• 1 oz simple syrup
• 2 oz spiced rum
• 2 branches of thyme
In a cocktail mixer, muddle boysenberries and the leaves from one branch of thyme. Juice half a lemon and tangerine into the glass. Add the simple syrup and rum and then fill the glass with ice. Shake well and serve immediately. Garnish with the remaining branch of thyme.

Posted In recipesI’m in full back-to-school mode, sans classes and kiddos. When August rolls around my focus is on one thing: school supplies! I’m a nut for them. I stalk the aisles at the big box stores looking for notebooks to last me through the coming year. And while I normally end up with the 5 Star brand for their durability, I’m loving the more handcrafted ones that are popping up everywhere. These Pocket Workbooks from dozi really caught my eye.

Time for a dose of local Oklahoma City in the best possible form: candy from Fat Daddy Sweets!
Aside from having just about the best name ever, Fat Daddy Sweets also has some of the tastiest chocolates and caramels I’ve ever tried. You can take your pick from Dark Chocolate Truffles, fancy Fleur de Sel caramels and peppermint patties among others. Check out the shop for more varieties, samplers, boxed favors and shipping information. (And don’t be afraid to ask questions either – there’s a very accommodating lady behind the biz!)
