i'm sweet on...

...Papaya. This eclectic venture is the brainchild of Gina & Anahata Katkin, a mother and daughter pair who have seriously got it going on! From notecards to waterbottles, artwork to jewelry, their buying ambition and creative flair for product is so fresh and so inspiring.

random is exactly that...

i don't sew, haven't since 7th grade Home Economics...

i don't stitch, haven't since college...

i don't knit, but I have a crazy desire to learn...does that make me an old maid, trendy or just plain silly?

i heart this...etsy

Oh, my amazing world of all things beautiful!! I just can't get over how crazy these cuffs are. Not only are they chunky and shiny, but they have this "put together in my workshop" feel that takes me back to the "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" era.

I found these beauties, like I do most things, on Etsy, my favorite place for all things creative. They are designed by Ricky @ edmdesigns. This is called Steampunk jewelry - and uses the contents of vintage watch parts. Ricky says "most of my designs feature the styles and manufacturers of fine watch pieces from the mid to late 1800's and into the early 1940's. I try most often to preserve the integrity of the focal movement and will only utilize pieces that can no longer serve their original purpose."

What a lovely way to be green and goddess all at the same time!
