Cool down

With less than a week til Morroco, I am equally excited about sandy adventures, eager to dive into Moroccan cuisine, and scared silly about the heat we'll encounter. I'm pale and heat-sensitive, you see. I've been in some hot temperatures but always when by the ocean or within arms reach to air conditioning. 110 degrees and in the desert? Lord, help me. I may combust into a ball of flames.

A fan. A pretty hand fan may just be the foresight that saves me. I'm on it. Check out DesignSponge's post on some gorgeous ones. I'm still looking for one with a motor on it.

Summer Dress

I've been searching for a dress to wear to two summer weddings on the calendar. Something warm and colorful that I just may stand a chance of wearing again.

Think I found it. Thanks Anthro.

Screw peaches.

I know it's summer and all, and there's a bounty of delicious, juicy berries, peaches and melons...but screw that.

I want this rich and heavy french walnut tart. Yum.

Darling Business Cards

Have you seen Moo.com? I really love these mini-cards they offer for just $19.95. What a great excuse to get a stock of personalized cards for any weird old occasion.

I think cards with a made-up mysterious alter-ego for a friend could make an awesome gift. Maybe I'll make some for Liza that say "Specializing in Best Friendship and Leg Guitar since 1999."

insides out

amanda is really good at finding weird stuff online. she just sent me this link on flick of disassembled household appliances. it's pretty. my brother used to do this stuff when he was little and then try and flush all the evidence down the toilet.

SMILE!

found on KIOSK, this is a styrofoam model to teach mexican children about teeth.

Diaper Bags

Found these on Design Mom via B is for Bobbin. I want to make some for my sister in law. They would be super easy to make and a cute gift.

markers

i saw this on Oh Happy Day and had to repost. i want to make one.
this is made by daniel eatock by balancing paper atop pantone markers.

this is sand

like sand through an hourglass, so are the days of amanda's unemployment. ha! this is her beautiful pic she made using thisissand.com. i have been obsessed with the site for the past couple days even though my creations aren't nearly as pretty as hers.

new bike

i just started thinking about a new bike...somewhere in the future. i found this one on craigslist and the pink just makes me want to buy it now.

i like

this chair, a lot.

Renegade Craft Fair

Courtney just alerted me that the Renegade Craft Fair is coming into town this weekend! I once participated in this show in Brooklyn during a heatwave and was pretty miserable. I'm hoping to go check it out on Saturday if poss. Here are a few things I may want to buy:

Earrings or a necklace from Twee:
