Kathleen Plate, owner of Smart Glass Jewelry in Atlanta, got her big break when beauty company Aveda placed a $50,000 order for earrings, made from its blue bottles, to sell at its headquarters.

And now? Coca-Cola has recently commissioned a line made from its bottles to sell online and at its new World of Coca-Cola attraction. Available now, right here.

The shop offers an exciting range of modern creative gifts and accessories created by independent Australian and New Zealand designers and artisans.

Worth a visit, if not for the undying inspiration. Check out Modamuse here.

business meets pleasure.

Flickr is a godsend, that's no doubt. But when I see collections like this one, from Daily Poetics, Flickr just reaches a whole nother level. [Is 'nother' a word? Don't think so].

[Thanks, Heather!]

u.o. hits the mark.

Ok here's the thing. I LOVE Urban Outfitters. Not for its fabulously original fashion, b/c that's debatable. But the furnish/entertain sections of U.O's site are just fun. And I love that for a few hundred bucks you can gear up for a new season by switching out some key items. Seriously, it's too inexpensive NOT to. Tell that to your husbands, k?

Check out a few of my favorites, available now.
