A Little Turquoise Love.

March 11, 2010 2

I was super excited yesterday to receive a package from The Andean Collection. Inside was a fabulous 3 in 1 Acai necklace in turquoise and I absolutely love the color turquoise. {It is one of my favorite colors}. How fantastic is that? I have several pieces of jewelry from The Andean Collection, but this may be my favorite. Don’t you think it will be perfect for spring, teamed with a simple white tee. Love.

Google Maps Adds Bike Routes

March 11, 2010 4

Finally, Google Maps has added bike routes to it’s mapping site. Yay! My family lives in a city that is known for being accessible by bike. This is one of the reasons that we moved here. In warmer weather, we love to jump on our bikes to go to the library, farmer’s market, shopping, to have lunch or run errands. So, this is very exciting news for us.

How about you lovely readers, do you ride your bicycle frequently?
Where are your favorite places to go?
Would you use the bike routes on Google?

Earth Friendly Etsy: Black Star Upcycled Jewelry Giveaway

March 10, 2010 32

Today’s Earth Friendly Etsy giveaway is from Black Star. Black Star is a vintage jewelry store, full of lovely things repurposed into jewelry. The collection includes jewelry with simple colors and lines. Don’t you agree that simple jewelry is fabulous jewelry?

When I asked where the owner of Black Star Katie she finds her inspiration, her answer was simple and sweet – from her garden, her deep love of the sea and the mountain top where her family swims, camps and wanders the woods.

When Katie’s not in her studio, you will find her toting tools and paintbrushes around her latest restoration project, working in the gardens, concocting herbal remedies, whipping up bath and beauty products or floating on her raft at Crystal Lake.

Would Your Cat Sleep in a Cave?

Aren’t these cat caves made by German artist Dornroeschen Filzunikate fantastic? They are lovely pieces of functional art called Katzenhoehle or cat caves. They are handmade with felted wool and come in an assortment of sizes and styles. Now, if I only had a cat. Fabulous.

How about you lovely readers, would your cat sleep in a cat cave?
