It may be a bit early to be thinking about valentine’s day, but these cards are to sweet to pass up! These little letterpress cards remind me of the valentines we passed out in school to everyone in the class, but the best part is the recipe on the back. A beautiful mix of design, illustration and tasty treats! There are currently five recipe cards available, perfect for friends and lovers alike!

CUTE LITTLE cord winders
I randomly came across these cute little cord winders today. I love the colors they come in, and of course the way they remind me of adorable pendant banners. What a cute way to keep your cords organized. I would love to have a fe of these behind my computer so I wasn’t always unplugging my external drives when I meant to unplug my camera.

A LITTLE CUTE on a snowy day
This little fox pillow from KushKush always makes me smile. In fact everything in their etsy shop turns my dreary day frowns upside down! Even their little rain cloud brooch would make me a little bit happier on a very rainy day.

BON VOYAGE: hip passport covers
This morning I had a new photo taken for my passport. It was a bittersweet moment for me, because I know I will have an amazing time on the upcoming cruise, but I have to say goodbye to my old passport. This time around I think I am going to get a little sleeve for my new travel document and thought I would share a few of my favorites from around the web.

A READING safari
Even though I have been reading more and more on my Kindle, there is nothing quite like a real book. Of course when your eyes start to get tired, or it’s time to just put that book down and go outside for a bit, you will need something to keep your place. Check out these fun bookmarks from Stippee. These translucent guys sit atop your book and turn it into the great outdoors. I love that they have different sets, flowers, woodland creatures and even an african safari. Check them out over at spoonsisters.

ALL THINGS considered
One of my favorite things about driving alone, is listening to NPR. When I was younger, the idea of listening to talk radio was poison to my ears, but now I can’t live without it. I’m always learning something new and nerdy on Science Fridays, and finding great new books that I would have never discovered on my own.
Well now I can listen to 800 NPR stations, as well as thousands of other internet stations with my new desktop NPR radio. You can search by stations, or specific programs or just find something random and hope for the best. I’m so happy to be able to listen to WNYC from here in Maine without having to keep an extra browser window open all the time.
