junghwa

I’d been meaning to make my own rope bracelet all summer, when I came across junghwa and accepted that it was never going to happen. My order showed up in my mailbox Monday in a little pouch with a wooden tag attached and a coupon for my next purchase. I ordered the I Love Knots bracelet, and even though I have small wrists it felt a little snug. I’m counting on the ropes to stretch a bit as I wear it, but otherwise I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

BirdProject Soap

Each of these black bird-shaped soaps is made from natural, locally-sourced Louisiana ingredients. Wash, wash, wash your hands to reveal a white ceramic bird handmade by the artist. It’s no surprise that the purchase of the soap is a 50% donation to the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Disaster recovery efforts.

Long Winter Farm

As soon as Anabela mentioned the perfume oil she’d purchased from Long Winter Farm, I knew I had to check this place out because she always finds the best perfumes. And I’m so, so glad I did. I picked up a roll-on Black Coconut for myself as well as a tube of Earl Grey lip balm (which they appear to be out of at the moment). I’m wearing the perfume oil for the first time today and keep catching sweet whiffs of summer. The lip balm has been living in my fridge between uses and feels divine and cool when I put it on. It also stands up to high temps, I can attest to this because it spent a steaming 105 degree day in my mailbox. I’m already eyeing Campfire for fall along with everything else for Christmas gifts – it’s all ridiculously affordable and unique.

Happy Weekend (from Seattle)

By the time you’re reading this I’ll be Seattle-bound for a little event I’ve been invited to attend. I’ve never been to the PNW before and am incredibly stoked. Not only to get to do a few awesome things I’d never be able to do otherwise, but also to meet up with some bloggers and my BFF from junior high during the two days I’ll be in town. This girl’s got a good life. On that note, I’m leaving you with an extremely fantastic/extended list of links you’ll want to be sure and click on.

Bottle Key

 

MAKR is on top of all once again with this antique brass blank key bottle opener. Not only is it super clever, but it also blends right in with the other keys on your keychain – no more souvenir or promo openers for you!
