Covet X

I woke up feeling nostalgic today (or is that stress? I can't tell anymore,) so in between email correspondence, and getting my list ready for the day, I compiled some stuff to share that I love, and I think you'll love too. First an illustration of my favorite movie by one of my favorite illustrators.

It's funny how my friends surprise me sometimes. This bracelet from Danielle is everything I could ever wish for in a bracelet, and so very different than anything I have seen before. I was surprised because Danielle is definitely experimenting with new techniques and new styles, and what a success! I can't wait to get one of these, I know I will wear it constantly.

I know you have seen this video. If you haven't don't watch it at work! But, seriously, it cracks me up. And then they made a pistachio commercial which is safer to watch at work... But when I saw these mugs on fab.com I was ready to buy a grip of them, but they were sold out, and it looks like they are gone forever. Super bummed...

I have been wearing nothing but dresses lately. I like all three of these pretty dresses on modcloth right now. Especially the striped one. Those are my favorite kind of sleeves!

I can't even begin to express how much I love this print and I want to hang it in my workshop. It's so incredibly true and some days I just need to have it thrown in my face.
Doug has been talking about wearing ties again and of course, my first thought was to get him a tie from Forage Haberdashery. Such rad work. I missed out on the bird watcher tie, but I think he would really like both of these. I may just have to get him both. 

I have been answering emails all morning and am just about over it, so I think today may be a technology free day. It's hard, because I am usually glued to my phone, but I really need to make an effort to leave the phone in the other room and just go work, and not worry about my inbox.  I'm about to burrow into my workshop with some strong coffee from Velo Roasters and work until it's late and I can't wait! I love my job...

xo,
Beca

  3. I met Jen Ray [of Corduroy] at an Etsy event I helped host--super sweet! I know they sell her items at Young Blood [http://youngbloodgallery.com] and they might have a Honey Badger mug. I could check it out if you liked...I also fully recommend you guys selling your glasses there too. ;D
