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!

Reusable, "To Go" Mason jars, from Poppy and Pearl.

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.

Organic, vegan soap samples, from Prunella's Soap.

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!

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?

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.

Patterned notebook, $5.



















Vintage map sticker seals, $4.50.



















Color burst paper garland, $9.
























Pennant notebook, $3.50.




















Set of 10 vintage map envelopes, $11.
