levi pant-purses

These purses made from Levi jeans are *definitely* the kind you give to unsuspecting friends for a good laugh. Not saying they’re ugly–in fact, I think they’re quite cute, especially with the matching fabric on the lining and strap–but I dare you to walk around with one and keep a straight face!

kaiku shower curtain

I don’t particularly like buying stylish shower curtains because they inevitably get old and need to be thrown out. The Kaiku Shower Curtain is just such a piece, with a pretty Marimekko print that would absolutely lighten up my bathroom! Ah well, looks like it’s time for a new curtain! =)

amigurumi easter gift baskets

I really like these easter gift baskets by Oh The Cuteness! Each includes at least one crocheted easter egg (made from soy-wool blend yarn) and a hand-sewn felt baby chick or bunny. The bunny version comes with an antique silver-plated wire basket, while the chick version sits in a lovely off-white ceramic bucket.

Not only are these handmade stoneware piggy banks by June gorgeous, but they each come with a little bit of attitude to boot!
