eightXeight

In such a fast paced world, I'm always on the look out for items that are multi purpose.

eightXeight has these dual functioning Flax Sacs that is a great sign of relief for all of us computer junkies.

Use as a wrist rest while on your laptop and because it's filled with lavender and flax it offers a soothing aroma while you're typing away.

Feeling a bit overworked and you can pop it in the freezer or microwave to calm yourself

The Faux Bois print is my fav but there are lovely retro combos to choose from.

MudHandChans - Wood Grains & Branches

Phoenician clay artisan MudHandChans of Sedimentary Sentiments uses an Italian technique known as Sgraffito which dates back to the 1700s.

Her interpretation of Faux Bois and Tree Branches is brilliantly displayed in these two items are so provocative.

These would be lovely for jewelry catchalls, a neat row of colored art pencils or pens, tapas and to use as a base for a gift and then wrapped in clear cellophane or ultra light colored vellum.

Birdwatching in the Rain

What's a girl to do when there is such rain and muck all about.  With jury duty out of the way I decided to ditch my umbrella and do some birdwatching (online).  I love this deluxe zipper pouch by Birdwatching Designs for a lot of reasons....The Faux Bois pattern reminds me of trees and paper, so this was love at first sight for me.  The matching card case is just what I need.

 It's playful yet sophisticated and  will be the perfect item to organize my extra scraps of paper ephemera or for the quick run to market or gym.  

The designer, Sarah always has lovely handmade items.  She also offers simple yet luxurious bath and body items  at BirdBubbles.
