uncommon bling

i adore jewelry that not everyone and their cousin's mother's daughter (yes it's a long-handed way of saying cousin) is wearing. the pieces just seem so much more unique and rare when they aren't replicated and worn by the masses. some of my recent finds are below.

man eater { savage salvage }

bell flower ring { kathi roussel }

chocolate cream + apricot { second look jewelry }

gold twig ring { colby june }

agate + pearl arrow { aninna vogel for liberty }

let's play hooky

with only a small room to my name, i have become obsessed with ways to display things functionally and decoratively. during the journey to organizational bliss, i first was drawn to boxes of all shapes and sizes... but now.... it's hooks. there are the epitome of function because they are made to do one thing, but i never imagined how cute they could be. perhaps i could do a whole wall of hooks! no. no. it would resemble some dada-ish installation- not what i'm going for- and pose as a serious health hazard during my pitch-black 2 am restroom break.
