• Stormy Seas from Caffeinated Frenzy

I love this recycled cashmere scarf from Caffeinated Frenzy not only for it's beautiful color, but also because it is named after my astrological sign- Aries.

Cute Spoonrests!

My new favorite kitchen tools!

These cobalt blue spoonrests came from Combustion Glassworks Etsy shop and they're fabulous! They're recycled glass bottles that have been slumped in a kiln to form the shape. I bought the larger one (about 14 inches) first but I realized I needed another. I'm loving the little one (about 9 inches) for my teabag and stirring spoon at night. Yes, even in 100 degree weather I like a cup of tea w/ milk to help me sleep.

It get your own spoonrest head over to CombustionGlassworks.Etsy.com or click here.

Let's Just Elope!

I finally got another Etsy treasury! WooHoo! Let's Just Elope features a bunch of cool handmade things that would be perfect for running off to Vegas to get hitched.

note: this is not a plan I'm making- it's just a treasury. ;)
