Olomana Orchids invites you to pick out your very own Hawaiian-grown orchid, and then they FedEx it to you, 2 days later! I had a special friend in mind to send this Hawaiian joy to, so we perused all the pretty variations of orchids and picked out the PERFECT one. Next time you’re on Oahu, consider sending a friend {or yourself!} a hand-picked orchid. It’s worth the $12 in shipping!
I’m so in love with the new honeysuckle scent from Mrs. Meyer’s right now that I decided to take advantage of their Earth Day special (free shipping!) and send a couple Kitchen Basics Sets out to family. When you shop direct, you get all of the above for only $9.99. You can also personalize with a gift note direct from their website to write a little “Happy Spring!” message. I’d also recommend their Basil or Rhubarb line — so delicious. The perfect gift to share a little Spring joy!
Knowing creative people {like Heather and my boss}, brings new things to my attention all the time. New blogs, new weekend projects, new designs, new radio stations, new books. One item that has really struck my fancy is the book, The Artist’s Way — A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity, by Julia Cameron. An oldie, but goodie, this book leads you through a comprehensive program to rediscover or connect with the creative energies of the universe – and to help you gain {or re-gain} artistic confidence and productivity. If any of your creative friends are in a funk, give this to give her a *boost*. A nice add-on is a personalized journal for her “Morning Pages” {one of the tasks in the book}. I’m actually going to read this myself! As always, the calligraphy was done by my friend, Heather.
Our friends Jack & Kristin did just that.We were pleasantly surprised to find a Valentine’s Day colored box on our doorstep the other night. It was filled with treats for us, and our pups! Dog lovers’ pasta, Valentine’s Day-themed crunch cards, personalized frame, candy, confetti and more.
Let’s digress a little and look at these clever crunch cards by Crunch Kins. Not only are these cards edible and delicious for dogs & cats, you can choose your card by breed, by occasion, or by holiday. The PERFECT gift to send to a dog-lover friend! Bravo, Kristin! Plus, they’re 100% natural rawhide and use non-toxic ink. Watch out friends with dogs. Yours might get a crunch card! Lucy LOVED hers.
