Valencia Glassware.
I love the lightly teal tinted glass of these Valencia glassware pieces. They remind me of warm summer days, crisp salads and lemonade.

Book Tag.
In a alternative to the usual rules of getting tagged, Josyln of Simple Lovely asked me to open the book I’m currently reading, flip to page 123, read the first five sentences and then post the next three sentences.
I just started The Learners by Chip Kidd a few days ago and am loving it so far. Here goes nothin’!
So what we’re doing with this project is bringing together a number of adults, of different occupations and ages, and are asking some of them to be teachers, and some to be learners. We want to find out just what effect people will have on each other as teachers and learners, and also what effect punishment will have on learning in this situation.
What was all of this about punishment?
I’m going to pass on the love to five more bloggers I’d love to get inside the books of:
A Cup of Jo
d.Sharp Journal
(In)side the Loop

Alma Fortune Cup.
The Alma Fortune cup is calling my name! Don’t think I could love it anymore if I tried.
In this collaboration, redstr/collective and Tobias Wong have taken the Alma Fortune cup and saucer and created a new level of esoteric luxury. Inspired by the age old tradition of Tasseography, Turkish coffee fortune telling, these cups and saucers have one of a kind fortunes suspended in time with 22k gold. Available in three different shapes.

Five and a Half Notebooks.
I’m an admitted notebook-a-holic and the little guys from Five and a Half are some of the best I’ve seen. Love the kitschy photography that adorns the cover of each one and I always have a tough time saying no to dessert.

Tribacchetta 3-Legged Chopsticks.
Handmade of natural bamboo, these Tribacchetta 3-legged chopsticks are shaped like forceps and make eating Asian cuisine easy. Equally useful as a serving utensil for tiny appetizers! And I’m 99% sure I’d look way more adept using these than the usual suspects.

Monday Goodness: We Don’t.
Seriously, we don’t. But I’ve worked somewhere that does and I swear it makes me more productive!

Sk8 Bags.
I will say it again and again (and again for good measure): turn something that serves one purpose into something that serves another and I think it’s genius.
Case in point: the skateboard clutch purse or aptly named Sk8 Bag. For every bag purchased designer Beck(y) donates $3 to various organizations dedicated to building and maintaining skateparks across the country. So cool, so cool.
