{ freshly picked } kanokwalees

Everything in kanokwalees' Etsy shop is just so cool, it was hard for me to narrow down my choices for this post. The shop's slogan is (appropriately) "Inspired by Nature." Scarves spun to look like coral, leaves, snowflakes and flowers make a cool, casual accent to nearly any outfit. Which one(s) will you buy?



1 - Gold Petite Leaves Garland Lariat
2 - Lots of Round Cup Leaflets Garland
3 - Enchanted Forest Lariat
4 - The Mermaid Queen Scarflette
5 - Let it Snow Bookoo
6 - Natural Leaves Garland
7 - Just Because I Love You Necklace

Deliciously snarky notecards by Wry & Ginger

Sometimes you want a nice, pretty card that gets the waterworks going.

And sometimes you just want to get your snark on.

At Wry & Ginger, there's a card for that. In fact, there are lots of cards for that.

Want to tell a stranger he parked like a donkey? Done. Give your friends dating tips? Or tell your coworker thanks for screwing you over on last week's project? Done and done. But just a word of caution- when slipping your boss a card telling her you like her new dress, you might just want to sign "your secret admirer" and leave it at that. If, you know, you like your job and stuff.


1 - Thank you from the bottom of your hard nugget of a heart
2 - Bad Parking Notes
3 - Dating Tips - how to tell if you are having drinks with a sociopath
4 - ZING POW - beauty of the backhanded compliment
