She's A Brick...House.
This is an amazing screenprint! I love the orangey / pink sunset. And the detail of the brick house is stellar. More awesomeness in Bree, Ree's Etsy shop.

New Upcycled Coasters!
It took me a while to get these finished, but I think they're quite cool. I definitely learned that decoupaging takes patience (and wrist stamina).

Ladies, I ask you, what's not to like about these minute, geometric earrings? The hand-drawn chevron pattern and 4 distinctive shades of blue make them a must-have accessory--especially for all you shape-lovers out there.

These Boots Were Made For Reading.
I have trouble finishing books. However, a pair of legs sticking out of the pages might be a great visual cue for me to pick up said book and continue reading.

A Pretty Pair.
Vintage glass cream and sugar set, from Wise Apple. |
Vintage pairs make me giddy. It's like having two treasures in one! And if you're a picky coffee drinker like me, you can't have your cream without your sugar. And that makes this lovely set perfect!
If you're a fan of pairs, you may also appreciate these mid-century modern salt and pepper shakers, from Tom Laurus Vintage.
