Friday Featured Etsy Seller: Sew Fine Fabric

I recently bought a fat quarter of this adorable burrow fabric from Sew Fine Fabric on Etsy.  I also got some of these cute chevron-patterned paper bags.  Jodi Walter Jones has put together a great collection of fun fabric and packaging materials in her shop.

Thursday Tunes: Take a Walk

I heard this song the other day, and I thought it would be appropriate to share today since we're going to listen to an economist speak tonight.  Passion Pit's Take a Walk - a song about financial troubles.

Jolly Rancher Suckers

My friend made some Jolly Rancher suckers for Young Women's after finding them on Pinterest.  What a great idea!

Natural World Dessert Plates

I've been thinking about china patterns again lately, and I saw these lovely plates at Anthropologie.  The Natural World Dessert Plates include four patterns, but I like the bee the best (of course).

Van Cleef & Arpels - Alhambra

I can't remember where I saw the ad for it, but I really love the Alhambra line by Van Cleef & Arpels.  A classic symbol of luck is beautiful as a necklace with mother of pearl or as a pair of earrings.

Friday Featured Etsty Seller: Wandering Fables

While browsing Etsy, I found a fun idea for a wedding gift.  Jessica Turnbow of Wandering Fables makes custom maps to celebrate weddings, commemorate honeymoons, and document births.  So simple and lovely.

Thursday Text: Auguries of Innocence

As I was preparing my YW lesson for Sunday, I was reminded of the opening stanza of Auguries of Innocence by William Blake.

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

Piave Toothbrush

My husband's been into wooden and natural bristle toothbrushes lately.  For Christmas he found a pretty one like this Italian-made toothbrush by Piave.

Rimmel Glam Eyes

Here's another fun Union flag sighting: Rimmel Glam Eyes eyeshadow.  Find it at Walgreens.
