Ruby Soiree

This colorful party has quite captured my imagination.

Eloise Corr Danch

Check out the amazing paper-art of Eloise Corr Danch.

Jack and Lulu

I've been pining after some calling cards, like these by Jack and Lulu. From the looks of it they have some fun things up and coming.

laurie cinotto art + craft

One of my new favorite creative minds is laurie cinotto of lalalaurie.
Aren't these boutonnieres incredible?

Rocker Baby

Rocker Baby has made the jump from etsy to their own online store. Check out their great goods that are largely on sale in celebration. (Like this too-cute-for-words Audrey Dress)

Lime Ricki

Lime Ricki Swimwear has some great {modest} swimwear options. Their shipping is a little steep ($10 ish) and their models have massive underbites (that's the detriment of living in a dental world), but I like what they are trying to do.

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.

Homestead Blessings

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?

garden marker

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.
