i love how katheyl shows us her life experiences through her work.  the orient because she grew up in singapore, nature because she volunteered at a zoo, and whimsy because that’s what she loves.  i think she pulled them all together beautifully in her line of jewelry- all colorful, natural, and whimsical.

fabricadabra is an online store full of adorable (and affordable) organic pillows.  with fabrics such as ikat, suzani, batik and african mud cloth- these pillows are truly one of a kind!  all of them are made using natural dyes and only the purist ingredients.  there is such a wide range of designs, textures and feels- i just can’t decide which ones i like the most!

i think all of us could take a moment to embrace the strange in us, don’t you?  and, jill mckeever’s kind of strange is just my type.  for strange women is a collection of natural, handmade adornments, perfumes, and other eccentricities all made from natural substances in effort to avoid the dangers of commercial cosmetics.  this is the kind of ‘strange’ we good all use a little more of.  my hope is that one day this won’t be seen as strange at all.  in fact, i think all the chemically produced substances we allow to absorb into our bodies is what is so strange!  (ok, slowly stepping off the soap box now)..

well, just one more thing- in case this topic is new to you- check out this website!  go grab your shampoo bottle and visit skin deep where you can enter the ingredients and see what’s harmful and what’s not.  that way- we can start making healthier decisions!  (ok, now i’m off)..

jill is also an amazing photographer.  i got a bit lost browsing her blog and photo albums earlier- her images are breathtaking!  my favorite album is from when she went to colorado.  enjoy my dearies!
