Whimsical Mobiles

I ran across these adorable felt baby mobiles today and just loved them. I will definitely be keeping this in mind for a fun, one-of-a-kind baby shower gift in the future! Check out all the cute themes at the PinkPerch shop on Etsy.

Suzani Revival

My parents went to a charitable auction the other night and came home with the coolest chair. It is a simple chair that has been re-upholstered in a salvaged Suzani fabric. It is so unique and such a fun accent for any room, thought I'd share their shop and a couple of my favorites for ya'll to look at.

Cool Jewels

I haven't posted any of my jewelry findings in a while, so I thought I would update you on a cool designer I am digging at the moment. I am loving these fish rings and crocodile bangle! All of these designs are by Antonia Miletto, and incorporate lots of ebony and wood accented with metal and stones of all sorts. Enjoy!

How do you Halloween?

So I've never been one to put 'skeletons' on my porch or have talking tombstones set up in the front yard, but I do enjoy the Halloween spirit in moderation. I like the idea of carving pumpkins, but after a friend accidentally carved part of her jack-o-lantern's face into her hand last year, I thought I'd look into some alternative ways to spice up your gourds for the holidays.

and while I was looking into all these crafty little pumpkins, I found the cutest artsy Halloween decor on Little Lovables - seriously in love with all of these photos! Now that's how one should decorate for a Halloween party if you ask me!

Creative Infusion

This post was inspired by my sister over at Bluebonnets for Sal and her love of tea. Lemon, Honey, Milk, Sugar, Breakfast Tea, Black Tea, Green Tea, Chai Tea...you make it she'll drink it! In my latest web browsing I stumbled across the most clever little tea accessory, and off I went in search of what other crazy yet genius "tea" gadgets I could find.  And the winners for most innovative tea gadgets are...

I love the shark, kind of gruesome, yet so cool!

 Tea Stirring Glass - the little ball rolls around the bottom ring!

Sugar capsules that break up and dissolve.

How cool are the totem pole tea cups? I love them
