dreaming.

i actually dream about the candy buffets created by Amy Atlas. no joke.  this talented girl has got to have one of the sweetest jobs.  click here for some pics of these dreamy sweet scapes.

cell phone annoyances.

please stop the rudeness. hand them one of these. cell citation nifty notes. get them here.

*sniff* *sniff*

these little cuties bring me back to my childhood memories. scented erasers in little milk cartons. mixed fruit, strawberry, milk, chocolate & grape. smell them, don't eat them! you can get them here.

presentation.

one of my favorite online stores has these little cuties. cast iron skewers that look like twigs. you can use them on the barbeque. so much nicer than those bamboo skewers. and you don't have to soak them. they make a great presentation...it's all about presentation.

i likey.

this bike would make me happy.  i can just imagine living down by the beach, pedaling this bike in a crisp linen skirt, my two boys (freshly bathed and hair combed) sitting in the bucket, down to the farmers market and picking up some fresh produce and flowers.

i can dream, can't i?

these bikes are from the company Madsen.  they produce some cool cycles!  they have developed their bike to have a special center of gravity to let you carry cargo easily.  go check them out.

lost no more.

came across these party cups today. i have never seen them before. clever.

Etch-it party cups.  have a place to scratch your name or cool design. now you will never loose your drink!  great for parties and you use less cups. they come in red and white.  you can get them online or at these stores.  you can also get the Etch-it tags for multiple uses.  waterbottles are soon to come in the future.

one of each please.

such creativity. camera and phone shaped cases for your cameras and iphones!  not usually excited about camera cases, but i am now.  

these handmade cases are designed and created by artist Hine [hee-neh] from Vancouver, Canada. she sells them here, but only a handful at a time.  i haven't even been able to get one yet.  but keep checking her store, you may be able to snag one!

only in japan.

when i saw these i decided i had to have them.  i went to get them, only to find out they only sell them in japan.  boo hoo. now if i can figure out how to translate japanese, i could order them and have them shipped here.  

super fun sticky notes in the shape of fruit.  they are made by D-Bros and you can buy them here (if you can read japanese).  in crates of six or individually.

are they cute or what!

hmmm?

wow.  now i can prolong those morning breakfast flavors even after i brush my teeth.  yummy?

breakfast dental floss in the flavors of bacon, coffee and waffles.  get them here.  on sale!  wonder why!

4th of july.

{image via}.  go here for directions on how to make them.

see ya soon.

i am off camping in my trailer with my boys and some of my besties....but i will be back soon.

a vintage inspired postcard.  it's made of wood!  and yes...it's green.

update:  we are back.  very refreshed, tan and full of sand.

gurgle, gurgle.

one of these in coral please.  i heart them.  GurglePots™.  water pitchers that actually gurgle when you pour.  love, love, love them.  click here to hear it, and here to buy it.

these gurgling fish shape pitchers have been around for centuries, and now designer Matt Ellison has been able to design one for the now day.  thanks Matt.

painted can.

hmmmm.  i might have to make me one of these (probably in red). the first trash can ever that has made my must have list. 

i found this pic on this blog.  i was just looking through the posts and there it was. *smiling*

it's true you know.

it's always best to remind yourself what is most important in life. you can own a lot of stuff, but all it is is stuff. you can wear designer threads or have a pretty hairdo. but it's only a pretty picture. you know what makes you special. so remember who you are.

this is a limited edition print by the talented artist Hazel Nicholls of the UK. i have been stalking her art prints for sometime now. simplicity...just what i like. 

cool chills.

one of the best places ever to find cool stuff is Fred & Friends.  i absolutely just love their ice cube trays.  here are just a few of the unique styles they sell.  give me one of each please.
