letter perspectives

shout out to my friend, lisa, who showed me this site! she is giving one of these framed letter signs to her brother for his upcoming wedding...of their last name. i think it's a great gift idea that anyone would love. plus, as you all know, i love anything that's monogrammed or personalized :)

footnote: baggies on the go

i just discovered this company, RuMe, is based in denver! love them even more! it's fun to see neat, locally-based companies.

giada spotting...at target!

our beloved target recently launched a new line: Giada De Laurentiis for target. an exclusive line of affordable cookware products and specialty food items...perfect for making irresistible and budget-friendly meals at home.

the products are substantial and well-designed, and the sauces and mixes make it easy to re-create giada's dishes. molto bene! (translation: very good)

baggies on the go

by now we are all hooked on carrying reusable, eco-friendly bags...at the grocery store, farmers market, and just for general hauling purposes. here is a new bag trend: re-usable snack baggies. RuMe makes bags the size of ziplocks, in bright patterns, all of which are dishwasher safe and machine washable. perfect for packing a lunch or taking snacks to go!

tom's, with a wedge

i think tom's is a really neat company. they make shoes, fabric slip on types, and have an insanely generous community component. they call it their "one-for-one movement"...meaning that for every pair of shoes sold, a pair of shoes is donated to a child in need.

this summer they have added a new style...the tom's wedge. super cute, and you can walk tall feeling good about your purchase :)
