Anthropologie’s done it again with these chemistry lab vases. I love their versatility, you could use them in any room for quite a few things. I might even go a little crazy and use them for alcohol or pre-mixed drinks at a get together.
I’m thrilled to have found etsy shop Kelbelle Designs. I have a huge love of cocktail rings and one of my nicknames happens to be Kell Bell, so I’m pretty sure it was meant to be. The designer works mainly with metal, glass, beads, precious and semi-precious gemstones. The rings also feature triple sterling silver hand-hammered bands. So, so pretty. The big decision is which one do I get??
I bought this spoon tote at Target last weekend after eyeing it up for a few trips. Love it.
Valentine’s Day is two weeks from today and I’ve held off on this Round Up because new valentines keep popping up every day! So without further ado – or babble – here are my favorite valentines of 2008. (I tend to lean more towards the quirky/funny side with these cards because that’s just where my personality falls in regards to this holiday.)

That splendid time of year is once again upon us and by that I of course mean Girl Scout cookie time. It’s always a tough decision for me. Do I order a few extra boxes for bad days? Do I order some to freeze? The one thing I am aware of when that order sheet hit my hot little hands is that I’ll be getting Samoas and Thin Mints. But now I can make homemade Samoas when it’s not that glorious time of year and don’t have to agonize quite so much about what to order.

I love the idea behind Auto Paint Cosmetics. APC draws its inspiration and color palette from the spirit of the ’60s and fast cars. Their latest line of ten nail lacquers are each named after classics, offering a physical and emotional connection to a different time and place. Not to mention some really unique packaging design to go along with it all.
Animal rescue is a cause near and dear to my heart. My cat, Peanut, was rescued before I got him and he makes my every day ten times better.
The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated daily to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on the purple box – fund food for animals – for free. This doesn’t cost you a thing and is entirely FREE. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
I hit up the site every morning before I even check my email. Please pass this on or post this on your blog to help. A sincere thank you in advance.

I love a good collaboration. Today I came across the Periodic Table Printmaking Project. Ninety-six printmakers of all experience levels joined together to produce 118 prints in any medium. The end result is a periodic table of elements intended to promote both science and the arts and incredibly intriguing visually. And I totally dig the tag: Arts and science: together in college catalogs; together in life. Stop by the group’s Flickr site for more details images.
More of the specifics:
• 96 printmakers
• 8 countries – Australia, Canada, England, Germany, Italy, Japan, Scotland, United States
• 29 states & Puerto Rico from the US are represented – Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Designed by Stefan Lindfors, the Ego coffee cup and saucer are a perfect fit for the modern table. The unique design of the handle helps keep the cup steady in hand and on its saucer, which I find to be an impressive design feature. (As a side note, Ego is also available in dinnerware.)
