Heath Ceramics

Heath Ceramics has some really lovely stuff in their new summer collection. Maybe someday I will own dishes or a vase worth more than $5. I'd like to think it's possible.

Okay, these are definitely carrying the granola vibe, but I think it's kind of cool that I can learn to make my own soap/bread/candles by watching a DVD. Didn't you know that self-sufficient is the new black?

Love these upcycled garden markers from orphaned silverware by monkeys always look. You know, for those with dirt of their own.

pockets for plants

I love the idea of planters that make use of vertical space. (And don't require horizontal space, because all of mine is either cluttered with stuff we don't want the toddler to reach, or within the toddler's reach) These by Maruja Fuentes are ingenious. (Via housemartin)

3/50

The 3/50 project has me all kinds of intrigued. If only I had $50 in discretionary funds in a year. Tucking this one away for my having-an-income future.

martha's unused dresses

See this tiny photo? It's from a MarthaStewart Weddings Blog inspiration board. An image apparently never used in publication, but in some archive available to whomever blogged it. And it happens to show little girl dresses so perfect (to me) that I want to cry at my inability to source them.

Ranunculus

Morgan's outing to the ranunculus fields has me daydreaming to no end.

Olive Tin Kitchens

I saw these mini Olive Tin Kitchens by Rafinesse & Tristesse on ohdeedoh and thought they were ingenious. Somebody's thinking cap is working awfully well.
