Sticks and Stones may break my bones...

More jewelry!  This Portland, OR group of designers make some really cool rings, cuff links and tie bars.  They make it all from reclaimed wood that they hand sand and then cured for 3 weeks in an oil.  This causes the wood to harden, forming a shell.  This stuff is so cool...expensive but cool!  Check it all out here.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Cursive Design

I absolutely love the jewelry made by Cursive Design.  My new favorite is the Summit.  It's so pretty!  Check out the rest of her jewelry here.  Also check out her blog...it's pretty cool!  Sarah, the designer recently got a bulk order at Anthropologie which is pretty much any designer's dream!

Cool Collections

How cool are these sea glass photos???  Not only is the glass in these pictures amazing, I love how it's all organized an photographed.  The woman who does this lives in Bar Harbor, ME and she has found all this sea glass up there.  Check out some other cool collections on this woman's flickr.

Well, baseball it is, I guess!

I found this map of stereotypes, its kind of funny!  I guess our part of the country is associated with baseball and fabulous unhappy people! haha i love it!  you can order a print here.

Tongue out

For all the Boris fans (that means you, Regina!) here he is resting up with his tongue out.  

Vacation pics...FINALLY!!!

I know I had mentioned that I would post some pictures from my vacation that Jeff and I took over a month ago..yikes it feels like we just got back!  Well here are a few of my favorites to kind of sum everything up.  We went to Salt Lake City (for his industry's trade show), then on to Sedona (one of the most beautiful/relaxing/magical places I have ever been...seriously!), and Grand Canyon.  The Grand Canyon is a MUST DO once in your lifetime trip.  It was pretty much unbelievable.  My pictures do it no justice and I just feel like everyone should see it at least once.

Holy cuteness!

I stumbled across this cute little picture of a hedgehog and almost died.  HE IS SO CUTE!!! I kind of want one but I know they require a lot of work and I think that Boris might eat him. Ahhhh, maybe someday!
