I am SO excited about my latest Etsy purchase!

This gorgeous piece by dustDesignCo is slowly inching its way across North America to its new home... my collarbone!

The Eco Etsy artist brings OBSOLETE objects back to life, specializing in handmade items from recycled materials - where each piece has some history and soul."

The vintage decanter label hangs on a silver chain and clears up any question as to what should be poured over my rocks. (And here's hoping it will encourage my customers to order one more round as well!)

Hurry up little guy - I want to wear you!

home is where your bed is.

If I had an endless supply of money, I'm confident that a huge percentage of it would be spent on bed linens and pillows. There is nothing better than crawling into bed at the the end of a long day of slinging draft and and hot wings. {Oh, my aching feet!} Snuggling into a cocoon of weighty blankets and fluffy pillows is almost comforting enough to scrape the dried ketchup from under my nails, and scrub the sour cream from my apron.

Wouldn't you love to curl up with one {or all!} of these?

gimme!

The gift of a jewel can carry with it many messages: 'I love you,'  'I'm sorry,'  'your grandmother wanted you to have this,'  'I totally forgot it was your birthday and I saw this in a shop window just in the nick of time...'

So tonight, as I wade through the boxes and dishes and hangers holding the jewels passed to me for one reason or another, I realize I don't own anything that says, 'I am my own person and I bestowed this upon myself in celebration of this." A situation which, I daresay, must be remedied!

It's not that I don't treasure the meaning and memory behind each piece given to me; it's that I long to look at my collarbone, earlobe or finger and think, not of the giver, but of myself.

Therefore, I give you...
