Work Work Work!

We're taking a little blogging break. We're working on something really exciting and want to be able to just focus on that. Till then, we're letting the blog take a little summer vacation of sorts. Of course, we're still taking orders and making jewelry, so feel free to contact us here! We'll be back soon, pinky swear! ;)

Happy Friday!

While wandering around the internet yesterday I stumbled upon Playscapes, a blog dedicated to playground design. Apart from feeling a little depressed about all the cookie cutter parks near me (with a few exceptions!) I was struck by how powerful it was to see structures like the one above and be overwhelmed by memories of playing on structures like this. I know exactly how that concrete feels in the hot sun, how its cool underneath and worn slick in some places. And seeing things like the giant metal rocket, merry go rounds and climbing domes! Ok, I'll stop playing the "remember when" game, but go check it out and see for yourself!

Also? I'm going to say something I never thought I'd say, but I really really want to go to Missouri. Because omg, look at this place! Why am I just finding out about this???

City Museum in St.Louis, Missouri. Has anyone been here?! It looks so amazing. I showed my son and all he could do was sigh, and ask me, "why don't they build stuff like that here?"

Have a great weekend!

Monserat De Lucca Jewelry

These are just fun. I think if I showed up to volunteer at my son's school in a t-rex necklace or venus fly trap ring I'd be pretty popular...

Salt & Pepper - Printable Stationery and Art

I've got baby fever over here, what with Ms. A.J. about to pop and my little sis half way through her first pregnancy. I really liked this sweet print above, but then fell head over heels in love when I discovered that Salt & Pepper doesn't sell you the print, they sell you a PDF file for you to print yourself. Which makes it possible for them to only charge $20 for this amazing, totally personalized piece of loveliness for your walls. They do prints, notecards, calling cards, even recipe cards. All the designs are sweet, simple, a little modern. I'm drawn to this little calling card too, if only because there have been so many times I've gone a whole school year only knowing someone as "Genevieve's Mom." If your kids aren't school age yet, you'll understand soon enough. I would have thought this was silly before, but now? I think its totally genius. And for $3, why not??
