fyi

There are several additions to sea's etsy account. Take a look here.

finally.

It has finally happened. It is actually cold here this morning. Somewhere in the 50's it seems. Now, it won't be that all day and it won't even be that for long. However, for now I'm going to enjoy the crisp fresh autumn air. This morning I wore my black cashmere wrap....which I love. After all, it's black and it's cashmere....what's not to love. I did go here this morning though to see if there was anything else to love. I'm thinking aqua and cashmere works just as nicely.

reincarnated

Typical promotional and marketing tools are not something I generally appreciate. However, these pencils made from recycled cd cases are write up my alley......cue the eye rolling.

the longest weekend

According to a book my daughter brought home from school yesterday, the longest word in the English language is 1913 letters. It is the scientific name for tryptophan synthetase A protein, an enzyme that has 267 amino acids.

Use that in a sentence. Happy weekend. I hope it feels equally as long.

mobile office

These days we have fast and convenient options at every turn. Which is why this simple yet highly creatively office in a jar makes perfect sense to me.

blow your own horn.

I'm always a fan of traditional items made with new materials. I would like to make tons and tons of these party blowers. After all, this sort of thing always has more impact if you go over the top in abundance. Consider making them in just black and white prints for Halloween.

the keys to the insane asylum.

I'm discovering all kinds of things on etsy for Halloween. Like yesterday's post, I think these laser cut keys would be just the right embellishment to a goodie bag. However, I really like the thought of putting them on a large key ring and hanging them from the front door this month.
