Wooden Boombox

Some people might say that today’s bluetooth speakers are cold and impersonal, and to those people I would say take a look at the Wooden Boombox. These burned wood works of art are expressive, stylish, and original. If one isn’t exactly in your budget you can also enjoy prints of the artwork.

Haus Candles

You read about a company, you ooh and ahh at the packaging, and then you finally see (smell) it in person and get it. Such was the case with Haus Candles. Each of the their ten scents is named after a type of haus that is the inspiration behind the carefully developed scent. That, partnered with the styling below, has me lock, stock, and barrel.

Martone Cycling Co.

I’ve been sitting on (no pun intended) these beautiful bicycle specimens for over a month now – have you ever seen a more visually appealing set of bikes in your life? Martone Cycling Co., helmed by designer Lorenzo Martone, creates these monotone wonders. Martone has harbored an obsession with bicycles since receiving his first one and Marton Cycling Co. is the intersection of his fashion and design worlds. The result is nothing short of a statement. Take a peek at the full line of bikes and accessories.

Lassis 12 Ways

I didn’t experience my first lassi until my late 20s. I was at an arts festival and all of my friends were raving about them, so I thought sure I’ll try that. Life altering – everything delicious that I already loved combined to make the most refreshing drink! It wasn’t until a few years ago that I realized lassis came in more flavors than the mango that I had tried that day. Check out these twelve recipes for a change up on the classic!

Stol Guitar Stand

I don’t play guitar, but I always have the goal to someday pick it up. The Stol guitar stand pushes me even further in that direction, considering the instrument would look eons better perched upon it than in my clumsy hands. The Stol (Swedish for chair) is collapsible, snap the two wood frames together then knock them down to store flat.

Leccare Lollipops

Aside from being downright gorgeous, Leccare Lollipops offer some of the most mouthwatering flavors possible. Things like lavender & marshmallow, blood orange & ginger, and amaretto sour are among their huge selection made by shop owner Kimberly Hadlock. Her handmade treats are made with natural, preferably locally sourced ingredients in Atlanta. Order everything from a seasonal sampler of flavors to enough to fill trick or treaters’ bags next month!

Shabd Magic Jar Dye Kit

Basically the instant I saw the Shabd Magic Jar Dye Kit it jumped onto my Christmas list (which is getting quite long, just in case you were wondering). This magical all-in-one dye kit comes with a silk crepe de chine scarf and permanent non-toxic dyes and fixatives, all packed inside a reusable glass jar. Just add water, practice being patient for one hour, and then see the results. So much fun! The kits are available in amethyst, copper, jade, and quartz.
