Happy Weekend.

+ Buy one of Lindsey’s photo prints and 100% of the proceeds go to the Audobon Society, who are helping preserve wetlands, healing animals and cleaning up BP’s mess in the Gulf

+ Pouring over Letterheady, an online homage to offline correspondence

+ Build an honest-to-goodness sidecar for your bicycle

+ A plethora of printables for Father’s Day

+ And a roundup of the best letterpress Father’s Day cards out there

+ Feeling inspired by Catherine Soto’s letters to people who hate her

Happy Weekend!

Guitar Cases.

I’ve got a thing for acoustic guitar, but couldn’t play one to save my life. Could one of these canvas guitar cases be the saving grace that finally has me taking the plunge? Stay tuned… {via Oh Joy!}

Logs.

Golly Bard has long been one of my favorite Etsy illustrators, so I was thrilled when Holly added these gorgeous log illustrations to her shop. I have a thing for cross-sections of, well, anything so they really struck my fancy. All are original works of art, not prints.

Birthday Calendar.

There was a time when I was the girl who sent out birthday cards two weeks in advance. Those days appear to be long gone, as I’m now the girl who is lucky if she remembers to send out your card the day of your birthday. Lucky for me, Linda & Harriett just released their first limited-edition monthly project – this killer Birthday Calendar.

Cookie Tray.

The perfect pedestal dish. When I wasn’t busy using Cookie Tray in the kitchen it would be taking up residence in my bathroom, housing my jewelry baubles. {via swissmiss}

PS: Thanks for bearing with me – and everyone else using Blogger – yesterday while it was down. Feels good to be back in action.

Happy {Memorial Day} Weekend.

My completely above average boss has given us both Friday and Monday off for the Memorial Day weekend, so I’m cutting out early this week. I can’t wait to soak up some rays, work on a few projects around the house and spend plenty of time with friends celebrating the unofficial start of summer. What do you have in store?

+ The perfect desktop wallpaper for all your bike lovers out there

+ A pretty yellow sunshine floral card to brighten your day in the free sort of way

+ A bevy of succulents make for a gorgeous wedding

+ No watermelon is complete with vodka

+ I’m holding out until June 1st to turn on my AC, so the less I have to turn on the oven, the better – enter gazpacho

+ Someone has finally heard our pleas for a recipe card generator!

Happy Memorial Day!
Happy Weekend!

WASARA.

The WASARA line is a great example of why disposable doesn’t have to equal unattractive. These single-use pieces are made entirely of 100% tree-free renewable materials (sugar cane fiber, bamboo, and reed pulp), and fully biodegradable and compostable. They’re suitable for cold or hot foods, and they’re oil- and water-resistant. Take your pick from three sizes of plates in two different shapes, a segmented tray, bowls, tumblers, coffee cups and wine cups.
