Pumpkin Spiced Up

 

A few weeks ago I tweeted something about wanting to start a second blog based entirely around all things pumpkin spice. It was a joke, but people flipped out with excitement. Because they feel that strongly about the combo. I’m not sure any flavor pairing welcomes a season like pumpkin spice does with fall. Think about it, the arrival of the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks is practically a national holiday! (It really should be.)

CuppaCan

Things that look like one thing but are actually another? Some of my favorites. The CuppaCan is a double-walled porcelain coffee cup shaped like an aluminum can. It even has a silicone lid to complete the illusion.

FEED Bag

They were selling these trick or treating bags during NYFW and I thought they were fantastic both in the looks and cause department. Constructed from FEED’s signature burlap, each bag generates funding to help UNICEF provide nutritious meals to children in developing countries so they can lead happy, healthy lives.

Brush Vase

I was straightening up my desk with it’s many pen, pencil, and paintbrush cups this morning when I remembered this Brush Vase by Harry Allen that I’d seen. Its intended use is to hold brushes, but an insert to turn it into a flower vase is included. (via Wantist)

Bookended

 

 

I’ve always been a big fan of reading. I grew up having the magic of it engrained into my little mind. Of course this had a led to a decent-sized collection of books over the years and only limited space to store them. I have two tall vertical sets of shelves that are just about maxed out, but I think my mantel would be a great visual display lined with spines. These organic agate and petrified wood bookends available at Evolution just might make the perfect end caps. (via Mrs. Lemons)
