$39 at Woolly Pocket

This is the best thing EVER.

It’s hard to tell in this photo, but the idea is that you can have a garden on your wall. It comes in one-two-three pockets that you can fill with your plants and nail to the wall without the water soaking through and destroying your wall!

I’ve been wanting to create a vertical garden in my house since I bought it, and now I know how I can go about it.

$48 at Stacks

A friend of mine brought these to my attention – a pair of 3-D glasses that isn’t terribly ugly!

If you’re going to invest in a 3-D television, then you can afford to pick up something a little nicer for your viewing pleasure. I still think it’s crazy that everyone will have to have their own individual pair to watch 3-D television. :/

These 3-D glasses, which are circular polarized, come with a black microfiber case. For that price, they’d better!

$12 at Scout Books

Finally, an update from me! The lovely Melanie at Pint Sized Musings [check out her new beer-focused blog!] turned me onto this product, and I just HAD to share!

A journal to document your beer tasting notes, it comes in a 3-pack, so you can document your 99 bottles/pints [however you'd like to do your tastings] of beer. There’s a flavor wheel to pick out what you’re tasting in each sip/gulp too! It’s genius, really! Oh yes, shipping is free, so order a pack or two or three.
Father’s Day is coming up. It might make a unique gift, don’t ya think?

Update: Saw this in action at the first Pint Sized Musings meet-up last night!

< $10 at Perpetual Kid

To keep those fingers free from burns when you’re experimenting in the kitchen, slip these cute temperature-tolerant [-58 degrees to 446 degrees] silicone oven mitts on!

They’re available as either a frog or a dog – how cute is that? A great addition to any cooking experience! Each measures approximately 4.5 inches wide x 3.5 inches tall.

$22 at The Dept. Store

Vampire Androids always win, according to The Dept based in Los Angeles. They’re still figuring out why, so stay tuned for the illustrated series of Android misadventures!

This awesome purple t-shirt made of super soft 100% “Organic” cotton comes in five sizes from American Apparel.

$3 at Joosy Card Co. [Etsy]

This site has been lacking in updates.

I’ve been quite busy the last 1.5 months. I survived a handful of interviews and finally landed a job that began last week! To thank all those who had helped me along the way, I went on Etsy to look for “Thank You” cards. That’s how I actually came across Joosy Card Co.

Even though I don’t have a photo of the actual cards I ordered because the photos were taken down as soon as I placed the order, the site is still worth a visit to see what other cards Jeynifer has in stock!

$50 at Sour Flour

This is something near and dear to me. With all the free time I had [funemployment!], I started learning to bake bread. I connected with Danny Gabriner via Twitter, and he taught me a thing or two about baking from sour dough starter!

He’s put together these beginner baker kits, which I think are absolutely awesome. You too can learn to bake bread. It’s not as hard as it sounds, but does require a bit more math than I like. Make sure you use a scale and a calculator to get those hydration percentages!

The Sour Flour Beginner Baker’s Kit includes:
- 1 Blarf Baby (the starter that will be the basis for all of your breads)
- 5kg Flour
- 100g Salt
- 100g Cornmeal
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 2 Proofing Bowls
- 2 Starter Containers
- 10 Ingredient Containers
- 2 Muslin Bowl Cloths
- 1 Canvas Couche
- 2 Half Sheet Pans
- 1 Bench Scraper
- 1 Bowl Scraper
- Full Instructions

If all you need is a Blarf Baby, Danny will send you one for free!

$38 at soitsgray [Etsy]

I bought a beach cruiser to ride around the Playa later this month. So this bicycle necklace caught my eye as I was browsing around Etsy.

If I was rolling with a little extra cash right now, my next purchase would be this – bike rides in a dress necklace from soitsgray. It’s absolutely stunning for being so simple. A sterling silver bicycle hanging on silver plated chain with fresh water pearls.

The best part? It’s handmade!

$10 at Gamiworks [Etsy]

Random cute find on Etsy – ladybugs! The Obi Buckle is created using lacquered Japanese chiyogami (old-paper) and high quality polished nickel mechanisms (polished brass finish is also available). The buckle is 1 7/8″ x 2 5/8″. Obi belts are sold separately for $10 each, so what you can do is buy one belt and attach varying buckles!

For all the vegetarians and vegans out there, all Obi Belts & Buckles are made using no animal byproducts. Check out the other designs!

< $20 at Williams-Sonoma

In response to my last posting, JeskaD sent me an awesome find. Yes, it’s also on the pricey side of things, but if you’re going to search locally for that robot cookie cutter, this seems to be the next best thing online.

Each is approximately 2.5″ wide and 5.5″ high. The four sides of each robot cutter are divided into rotating top, middle and bottom sections. It’s a mix-and-match cookie cutter. You just twist and go!
