Aloha, friends! I have been so busy during the past few weeks, thus the silence here. I apologize and am getting caught up on things, emails, posts, life, blah, blah, blah. How have you all been? A couple of things that I am working on are special ad rates for the summer, guest posts/features, more crafty folks interviews, and more giveaways. What do you think? Sound fun? Let me know if you’re interested and we’ll get crackin’ on some projects together.

Douche. I hear people use that word a lot. I can’t recall myself ever using it and kind of think it just sounds gross. And weird. Notice how I even left it out of the post title? Well, check out these doucheBags by Shirin Handmade…

Shirin is based in Vancouver and takes recycled shower curtains and gives them new life by turning them in to bags. ‘Douche’ is the French word for shower, thus the name doucheBAG. Clever!

With the change in weather, I have been on the hunt for some cozy garments. I was checking out the Pretty Birdie line by Stephanie Teague recently and thought I’d share my finds.

For now, while I dream of warmer days, I’ll make my wish list of fall offerings…

What do you prefer? Sometimes it just depends on the time of day. The mood you’re in. What you need to accomplish. Have a look at these hand-embroidered reusable cup cozies by Debbie of 60 bugs. I have something similar and just carry it with me when I know I’ll be heading to the local coffee shop. It’s a great alternative to the paper/cardboard ones they hand out. Just think of how many times per week you get your fix and you’ll soon realize how much waste you’ll be preventing. Oh, and these are oh-so-cute!
Coffee Love Tattoo Sleeve; Tea Love Tattoo Sleeve: $12.00/ea:
ps - 60 bugs is having an earth week sale! All cup cozies are on currently 20% off. Sale ends April 26, 2009.
