Friday's Geometric Find: Upcycled Wall Mosaic.
Often times, leftovers are even more delicious than the original meal. And while we're not sure what this table top may have looked like in its former life, we definitely love what its parts have become.

Theme Of The Week: Eco-Friendly Finds.
I'm happy to announce that eco-friendly is the new black. And rest assured, it's a water-based, low-VOC black too!
Whether it's salvaged, recycled, repurposed or reusable, we're loving the momentous consumer shift towards eco-friendly goods.
And while we're on the subject, we think this may be the perfect time to change the stigma behind re-gifting.
After all, just because a gift doesn't jive with your taste, doesn't mean it should end up in the storage closet.
This week, we're bringing you our favorite eco-friendly finds. So grab your pencil and paper (just grab a sheet from your recycle bin) and get ready for a week filled with earth-friendly gift ideas!
| Reusable, "To Go" Mason jars, from Poppy and Pearl. |

Theme Of The Week: Wedding Bells.
We couldn't help but notice that a lot of folks were getting married this weekend. And that got us thinking. No, not about getting married (sorry, Mom and Dad), rather, what would a handmade wedding look like?
Could place settings be inspired by chalkboards?
Would the bride perhaps sport a vintage wedding gown?
Could recycled paper substitute for rice?
Will handmade cake banners spawn a new wedding tradition?
Might a woodland wedding theme turn a few heads?
This week, we're searching for handmade (and vintage), wedding-inspired finds. So all you brides, grooms, newlyweds, honeymooners, married folks and even contemplating couples, stay tuned--this week's for you!
Could place settings be inspired by chalkboards?

Would the bride perhaps sport a vintage wedding gown?

Shop Profile: Ink Whimsy.
Let's put it this way--the term "paper goods" doesn't do Ink Whimsy's Etsy shop any justice. With so many colorful and imaginative notebooks, paper garlands, recycled map envelopes and stickers to choose from, we're thinking paper greats may be the more appropriate description.
Part of our week-long "Colors" series. More finds all this week!
| Patterned notebook, $5. |
| Vintage map sticker seals, $4.50. |
| Color burst paper garland, $9. |
| Pennant notebook, $3.50. |
