Etsy Pick of the Week :: Gems by Em

Friday, August 28th, 2009

My Etsy pick of the week is the beautiful sterling silver and copper necklaces by Gems by Em. Each pendant is customizable. You can order a necklace with a quote, initials, or names. I think they would be a perfect bridesmaid gift, a great gift for mom, or a nice treat for yourself. I love the copper heart necklace featured below.

back 2 school :: lunch boxes

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

I absolutely love lunch boxes. I’m a big fan of bringing my lunch to school/work. It’s usually healthier and cheaper to BYO lunch. And with this season’s lunch box selections, what’s not to love? Below are my favorites. It was hard just to pick a few!

back 2 school :: book bags

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Were you the kid that wanted a new book bag every school year? Or did you used the same one for several years? Either way, here are my picks for book bags this season.

1.  Timbuk2 build you own Swig. So many fabric choices! Has built in laptop protection too.
2. Jansport illustrator pack. Comes with markers so you can color in the pattern. Reminds me very much of Mike Perry’s work.
3. Jansport cosmic bubbles superbreak backpack exclusively at the Container Store.
4. Timbuk2 Q backpack. Built in laptop protection and side accessibility.
5. InCase nylon compact backpack. Houses a 15″ MacbookPro nicely. Available in several neutral colors.

Note: I was disappointed to find out that my favorite book bag that I used throughout high school and college is no longer in production. It was a Clive book bag that I purchased at the Container Store. Super durable and comfortable. It was one of the first bags with an iPod holder.

back 2 school :: three by three

Monday, August 17th, 2009

I have long been a fan of Seattle’s Three by Three. Their super strong hooks and magnetic boards are stylish and functional. They are perfect around the home and a great solution in dorm rooms or small apartments. Below are my favorite three by three pics for back to school. All can be purchased via their online shop.

Etsy Pick of the Week :: White Owl

Friday, August 14th, 2009

I went on a blogging hiatus this past month. We have been traveling, I started a new job, and Sarah Hearts is growing so I have kept busy to say the least. I wanted to leave you a great Etsy find via The Inspired Bride. White Owl makes beautiful lace jewelry. I think they would be absolutely gorgeous for a chic farm wedding. But who says you have to be a bride? They would look lovely with a cute cotton summer dress too. Below are a few of my favorites, all priced from $16-$29.
