New Geometric Wood Organizers In The Etsy Shop!

I'm so darned proud of how these salvaged organizers turned out. The geometric design really pops! Just got 'em all listed in the Etsy shop too. More designs are in the works, so stay tuned.

Red on turquoise salvaged wood organizer, $22.

The classic black and white combo. Clean and simple.

Theme Of The Week: Typography.

Written communication is more than just words on paper. Certain fonts can elicit an emotional response. Even point size can sway a reader's opinion. In short, typography dictates how your message is received.

While we're not typeface elitists, we definitely appreciate the artistry behind well-executed typography. More often than not, the intended message comes through loud and clear.

This week, we're bringing you our favorite typography-centric finds. Whether it's an industrial set of vintage letterpress numbers or an embroidered homage to the lesser-loved fonts, we're pretty sure you'll fall in love with the written, printed and forged word--one distinct letter at a time.

Fresh Shop: One Story Studio.

We're loving One Story Studio, a fresh Etsy shop out of Portland, Oregon. But what's not to love about beautifully-minimalist and slightly geometric art prints?

"Thirteen Kites", $20.

"The Conductor No. 1", $35.

"Story of Giovanni No. 7", $50.

"Grounding", $25.

So pay a visit to One Story Studio and get some eye-catching art for your home. But hurry...especially if you want to be the first to own one of their prints. We have a feeling this undiscovered shop won't stay undiscovered for too long!

Bloody Skulls? I Do.

A few years back, friends of ours surprised us (and other partygoers) by putting on an impromptu Halloween wedding. I'm thinking that these bloody skull lollipops would've been the perfect post-nuptial delight!

And Eat It Too.

Strawberry summer cake (photo from the "Pasty Studio" blog).

This cake looks absolutely delicious! In fact, drool is slowly trickling down our chins as we browse the "Pastry Studio" blog. Pastries, tarts, cakes, cookies, confections...oh my! And recipes to boot!

Perhaps what we love most about this particular recipe, is the attention to details--a "smidgen" of semolina (for texture), homemade ricotta (for the cream) and olive oil (to moisten the cake), to name a few.

So grab yourself a paper towel, wipe the drool off your face and pay a visit to the "Pastry Studio". Be sure to check out the recipe, here, too!

In The Light.

Theme Of The Week: Summer Finds.

Red suspender sleeves, from Moon Halo.

Summer is upon us. Beaches and swimming pools await travelers. Fashion trends are morphing, as jeans are slowly being replaced with shorts and skirts. The weather is rapidly heating up. Vacations are being planned. In short, here comes the sun...

From One Mom To Another.

Mom, tattoo heart shirt, red (sizes 3 mos. - 10 yrs.).

Wren Willow's garments are hand-dyed, using water-based inks.

Hawk, screen printed bodysuit, in plum (size 6 - 12 mos.).

Vintage typewriter, long-sleeved shirt, kelly green.

If you're a new mom, you've probably grown tired of hand-me-downs for you kids. Sure, the "retro" look can be ironically hipster-ish, but you gotta draw the line somewhere, right?!

Wren Willow should be the first stop on your journey towards a new look for the kiddos. This working mom's Etsy shop is filled (and we mean filled!) with tons of awesome hand-dyed t-shirts, bodysuits and much, much more! And each are lovingly screen printed using environmentally-friendly, water-based inks. Even the designs are her own gorgeous illustrations. Egads!

So take a pit stop in Wren Willow's Etsy shop and use this Mother's Day as an opportunity to give the gift of handmade. Just think, you'll essentially be gifting an amazing, handmade item from one excellent mother to another!

Part of our ongoing "Gifts For Mom" series. More amazing finds all this week!

A Few Of Our Favorite Decor-ations.

Magnetic spice rack, from Salt City Spice.

Pink picture frame, from Emma Shirley.

We love to decorate our apartment. In fact, I can envision a spot for each of these fabulous items (as I'm sure many of you can too!). Of course, we're partial to feathers, geometric shapes, spices and a dab of pretty pastels--but if we listed all of our favorite home decor items, we'd be here all day!

Part of our week long "Featherette Favorites" series. And since this week was a bit shortened (due to my bicycle crash), this will be a two-week special. So stay tuned next week for more of our faves!

If we listed all of our favorite vintage finds, this post might be 2 miles long. These are simply a few of our current faves. Although, we must say, the post office box doors may just be the most awesomest vintage find ever!

A Few Of Our Favorite Cuts.

"Crocodile Scales", giclee print, from Farouche.
