Rock on

March 25, 2010 by

I think it was seeing two of my favorite bands, Muse and Silversun Pickups that got me in the mood for this post.  I absolutely love going to concerts.  I have a great concert schedule lined up with Ben this summer and I really can’t wait.  As a tribute to all things that rock, check out these items.

  1. Guitar  Spatula
  2. Muse Carpenter Headphones – I saw these and thought they were for true music lovers.  This site has some really modern twists on the average earbud.
  3. Ipod Hoodie – are you kidding me?  Did someone read my mind and all things I HEART before they decided to design this.  Honestly, I see no real functional purpose for this, but love the hell out of  it.
  4. Recycled Vinyl Coasters –  too cute.  Also, this site where I found these is too neat.
  5. Ticket Diary – who keeps every.single.ticket.stub?  I do and I think this is the perfect place to store these babies and give them the attention they deserve.
  6. Owl Ipod Case – owls are everywhere now, but I swear AK was ahead of that trend.  This ones for you AK!
  7. Guitar Picture Frame – I think a pic of Ben and I at our fav concert would be perfect in this.  Plus, love the original look and feel.
  8. Music Necklace – simple and love the purple.

Etsy Spotlight: The House of Hemp

March 19, 2010 by

The House of Hemp is the latest Etsy Spotlight.  Ladies, these necklaces are just the thing to spruce up your basic tee, I mean can you say ADORABLE?  I’m leaning towards the green one.  They sell a lot of other things besides these necklaces, so go check them out but remember $5  from each of these necklaces purchased will go towards Haiti relief. So you can feel good while you look good!

Etsy Spotlight: Heart of Light

March 5, 2010 by

I had a really hard time trying to pick and choose which products to highlight in this picture much less which item to purchase for myself.  All of these items can be found in the Heart of Light Etsy Shop.  My favs are the mini rosebud pins and the rosebud belts.  Fabulous colors!
