A beautiful photo showcasing hand-crafted wood vessels by Etel Carmona for Espasso. I love the warm wood against the snowy picture window.

...More Felty Goodness from Hard Graft...

Hard Graft (formerly Working Class Heroes) has added more delectable felty goodness to their line of modest and functional cases to keep all of your precious items safe, warm, and not to mention, stylish! I love this mousepad that folds up into a mouse and power supply pouch.

...Happy Hour...

How cute is this pill clock from Joseph Joseph? Gives new meaning to the phrase "happy hour"! I would love to see it in a doctor's office ;) What would be really great is if the pill colors rotated every hour.

...Wabi-Sabi for the Masses...

I am totally enamored with my tableware from Thomas O'Brien for Target... (I actually visited about 3 different Target locations to complete the set) The entire collection has a very subtle combed effect with a thin rim of brown around the edges. The perfect touch of wabi-sabi for the masses.
