Pretty things

Dogeared jewelry came out a few years ago, and I loved it then. I especially loved their Make A Wish necklaces, which are tiny charms on thin thread that eventually break. When the thread breaks, the wish that you made when you first put on the necklace will come true. Allegedly.

I just recently stumbled across their jewelry again, and although they've branched away from their signature Make A Wish necklaces, I still love their stuff.

I think their necklaces make the perfect birthday present. Cute, thoughtful, and unique! Maybe the recipient will return the favor when your birthday comes around...

Flying high

Over the summer I stumbled across this little book called The Benefits of Looking Up, which is a collection of pictures of lost balloons. The photos were taken on the streets of New York City using the authors' iPhones.

I didn't really have a use for the book, but the quote on the back cover was so endearing that I couldn't let it go:

"In a city where everyone looks down, we decided to look up."

So, I've started ripping the pictures out and using them to decorate plain, brown, paper bags. My sister-in-law's birthday just passed, and I have this ridiculously cute gift bag but, alas, no gift. Of course.
