Here’s a sneak peek at a new project I’ve been working on… Geometric Necklaces made from book cover pieces! I’ve got a few things to tweak in order to make these sturdy enough to sell, but I’m super happy with how this prototype came out and have been wearing this one around myself. I’m hoping to have a batch of these in my Etsy shop within the next week or so. :)

fresh batch of cinnamon toothpaste lookin all tasty:

ª 2 parts coconut oil* ª 2 part baking soda ª ˙1 part glycerin* ª pincha cinnamon* ª pincha sea salt ª xylitol if ya can find it

∆ put everything in a glass bowl, then place it in a shallow pot of water on the stovetop on low, until mixed/melted (don’t microwave) ∆ transfer from bowl to where you want to store it, then stick in freezer for a few minutes until less softy

*best to use organic, and you can also use sage or grounded chamomile

// “sage, alpine strawberry, thyme, parsley, aloe vera, lavender, and mint are easily grown in the garden, and can be useful herbs in maintaining a healthy mouth and gums” -some gardener // dry and grind em’ up, no sticks no stems no seeds.

check out what coconut oil might do for your mouth/entire system. sagely wisdom worth a shot

A lot of people have made very cool lamps out of doily balls, but I wanted to take the same technique and apply it to a lampshade. I really enjoyed putting it together and love the handmade finished look, so I thought I’d share my process. Here’s how you can make your own!

While we’ve highlighted some creative new uses for parts of “dead” umbrellas (our umbrella-related posts are grouped here), this idea’s new to us:

Combine an umbrella frame with one or more strings of icicle lights to yield some pretty unique lighting.

Spotted on Pinterest here. (For those of us wanting additional information: The original Pinterest pin links to a now-defunct blog here as the source; so, no info!)
