While reading a feature online about these totally cool, wooden serving trays, I came upon the most incredible site.
Velocity Art and Design is an amazing website out of Seattle that offers unique trinkets and uncommon pieces of art. From miniature disaster building replicas to wall decals or asian inspired kitchen towels, this site is a one stop shop for that totally far out item.

If your desparate to find something to read, here's a suggestion...the New York Times Best Seller "Under the Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer. It's not a recent release and it's a little off the path of normalcy, but gives a fascinating perspective on the lives of Mormon Fundamentalists. I read it a while back and it gave me a whole new respect for Mormons and what they have to endure with the criticism of Mormon Fundamentalists...a significantly group of people. Here's a hint: the fundamentalists are the one with multiple wifes and kids on welfare. It's an easy read, but it does contain quite a bit of violence. Worth learning about their history, worth reading.

For some reason, I have always wanted one of these pillows. I know it's a little cheesy, but there is something about it that makes me yearn for hot summers and red, Georgia clay.
At $136, these embroidered pillows do seem a little pricey. I don't know...I just thought it would be a cute guest room accent pillow in a home that is more contemporary than country...but, the idea was nixed by the beau who strongly protested saying it's something his Grandma probably had and insists it won't "fit in" at our house...big, deep southern sigh. Whatever, I still think it's cool.

If there is one thing were all picky about, it's finding the perfect pair of jeans. Look no further...
Raven Denim's Sierra Trouser combines control (for those of us who need it) with a stretchy softness that makes them feel more like pajamas and less like denim. The back pockets are accented with a small button and are placed on the butt...not 3 inches below like some other brands of jeans (achem...True Religion). My point? They flatter and give a roundness to the tush...what a concept!
Since we're a few years into the sticker shock of what jeans cost, it won't come as a surprise that it'll take about $240 bucks to snag a pair...but they're so worth it.
I bought my pair here in Los Angeles at UNA, but there are tons of online stores offering all kinds of Raven Denim.
