a peace treaty...

i know it's summer and a lot of you are dealing with unbearable heat right now, and just the thought of a scarf around your neck brings on heat stroke...but the evenings here have been so refreshingly cool and almost chilly at times that i could totally snuggle up with one of these beauties...

the co-op...

h is for home...

this store has a GREAT selection of vintage finds...

why do i want this?

I'm not even a huge fan of Bingo, but i think this would be so fun to play with lots of friends, beer, and a sweet prize to win...and at the price ($20), you really can't pass it up...

{i think what got me was the professional ball tumbler...how cool is that?}

mini tag books...

these little booklets by the talented erin zamrzla are so great...throw 'em in your purse or pocket for quick sketching on the go...you can buy them on etsy here

the white aisle...

beautiful handmade silk roses by victims of sex trafficking in cambodia...100% of the profits from these flowers go towards the womens salaries...you can purchase them here
