Preemptive Disclaimer: I did not realize there were going to be so many killer calendars for 2011! I hope I haven’t inundated you with dates, but it looks as though there will be one more after this and then I’ll leave you all alone until next year.

They’re a breeze to take with you for a fast breakfast or to bake up on a weekend morning which is usually what I’m looking for in a breakfast recipe. And they always, always impress. (PS: Forget all of the hype about scone pans, you really just need your hands and a knife.)
Ron van der Ende’s rocks are sick in the good way. They’re made from reclaimed timbers and salvaged wood and I could stare at them for hours on end. {via pinkshirtsandcarwrecks}

Talk about a conversation starter. The Whole Story photo albums by Debra Folz are both sculptural and a place to store your memories.
Posted In accessories, house and homePhotographs today are stored and accessed digitally, and viewed one frame at a time. These photo albums were designed to fall off the shelf and land in your life, living amongst you the way the memories do, in between the spaces of everyday, yesterday, and tomorrow. A hybrid of traditional bookbinding techniques and contemporary engineering, they stand independently due to a reinforced front and back cover. A removable binding allows the books contents to be expanded, allowing you to view your whole story.
Anyone who knows-me-knows-me also knows that I’m usually attached to a tissue. (Or a paper towel, or a napkin…) But, as a rule, tissue boxes are completely unattractive. Floral motifs, holograms, faux marble… seriously? I’m feeling the need to invest in a Paper Pot. It can be used for either tissues or toilet paper and is completely functional, yet unassuming.

There’s something so much better about nerd glasses being from an honest-to-goodness vintage nerd. I’ve been perusing MODvintage’s killer selection of frames. Bonus, they’re actually affordable. {via For Me, For You}
Movember. The only time I, as a lady, wish I were capable of growing a ‘stache. The rules are simple, start November 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. Funds are raised for cancers that affect men, much like the commitment to raise money and run or walk for charity. In honor of my guy friends who have chosen to participate and those brave men fighting cancer, here’s my solute to the cause – a mustache solute, if you will with the occasional beard thrown in for Equal Facial Hair Rights. All handmade from Etsy. (PS: It’s not too late to register and start growing!)
