We are working on some changes here at the ranch — and as you can see, things are a wee bit of a mess. We will get it straightened out as soon as possible!

 

elemental pendant March 25, 2008

Bamboo can grow three feet a day.  The United States produced more than 110 million tons of steel last year.

Despite this profusion, a square of bamboo framed in stainless steel can feel rare and precious. 

This striking pendant is a good reminder that worth and value are often as much in the intention as in the raw materials.

I love the feeling of stillness and the monochrome tranquility of this patterned tray. Perfect for a Valentine’s breakfast in bed.

Made by a family-owned company, too.

Sweet vintage valentines labels to stick to wherever you choose.

Isn’t it great how all things super-sticky-sweet, that might be borderline saccharine or cloying in other circumstances just work in vintage?

Set your inner mush-ball free!

I really love this soap. It doesn’t smell soapy at all — but like the forest. Woodsy and fresh and natural. I wish this were the way I smelled naturally, but I don’t, so I buy this soap.

6 bucks from Juniper Ridge

A theory I am working on: flakier crust through better taste in kitchen implements . . .

Simplicity and ornamentation in perfect measure, how could these lovely measuring cups not result in better baked goods?
