Green Tupperware pendant lamp — from BootsnGus on Etsy
I have this Tupperware set and couldn’t bear to part with it to make it into a lamp, but this lovely lamp is beautiful! If I find another Jell-O mold at my local thrift store that I don’t mind passing up on Jell-O creations, then this just might have to happen in our kitchen.
Everything you really loved about library cards (or I loved, at least) is now attainable — blank library cards for your writing/doodling pleasure without smeared late notices. I need to make a list of all the awesome things I’ll write on these.
Assorted Library Cards from Knot And Bow - Brooklyn. On Etsy.
Shelter, an art/design/craft collective, makes handcrafted bags that make you wish it were summer forever - a Virgin Suicides summer (without the crazy parents and suicide, of course). I’m thinking more whimsical earthy 70s.
Spring Garden Confetti
I’m not a gardener, but these are awesome. I’m decorating for a wedding at the end of the month and wish I knew how to make these myself - they’d make awesome party favors! Time to do some internet searching (simply can’t pay $12 pp). Suggestions?
Spring Garden Confetti - Multicolored seed balls that make gardening a breeze. Just toss and go! From PoFu on Etsy.

Heart in a Jar
love, california
love, california makes these gorgeous state pillows in a thick wool felt, firmly stuffed — Thomas and I just bought a Georgia one for a friend’s engagement gift. So beautiful, now I want one for myself!
I sifted through 18 pages of sold orders to try to find a picture of the GA pillow, to no avail. But, I will say it looks an awful lot like Missouri. I bought the pillow at a local boutique handmade store, Young Blood, so maybe love, california cleaned house by sending them all there?
Goosebumps Soap
There are a million people on Etsy selling soap, and normally no matter how good I ignore it, but this soap reminds me of Goosebumps so I couldn’t pass it by. Remember the bumpy letters on the cover?
Fortune Cookie Crayons
Upcycled crayon wax shaped into these cute little fortune cookies! I almost think they’re better for most hands, as they’re less likely to break than tiny sticks (yes, I’m an aggressive colorer). I think they’re too pretty to use.
Set of 6 for only $10 from Ivy Lane Designs on Etsy!
