One of my domestic dreams is to have the be all, end all of backyards. Different nooks and crannies to sit in and wile away the hours, lots of greenery hanging here and there and a gorgeous stone fireplace. And now when I think about it all I see is the furniture from Gardenhouse. PS: I’ve had that yellow loveseat bookmarked for ages with no idea of its origin. Fate!
Circles are my favorite shape, which is something I only recently realized. Weird, I know. So this Things That Are Round poster and set of coasters from 1canoe2 are totally speaking to me and my new found favoriteness. Dandelions, a rotary phone dial and doughnut among other round things are all hand-drawn. The 10×15″ poster is a limited edition of 38, while the set of 9 coasters come in a drawstring bag.

Found is the first carbon neutral juice company in the world. It’s 100% organic, pure fruit – no additives or preservatives. The intent of the bottle design was to mimic those thoughts with no front or back, making it as transparent as the juices. {via The Lovely Package}
The other day I realized just how big my love for Post Its is when I flipped over to a new color (neon pink) in my cube and became irrationally excited. Even by my standards.

I’m head over heels for these handsewn classic driving gloves from dunhill. Surely it’s a sign from the universe that I need to run out and purchase the vintage Mercedes I’ve always yearned for. These babies just would have the same effect in my Nissan, no matter how zippy she is.
Kegless is an bag-in-box solution for carbonated beverages. Like boxed wine, but beer instead. Not only is it eco-friendly by using less materials than single serve packages, Kegless is also cost effective from a manufacturing and distribution standpoint. How rad would one of these look sitting out for a get together? Very. {via Core77}

Skin & Bones is only one product, but it does everything except fold your laundry. Moisturize your face and body, deal with wrinkles, heal cuticles, everything. Hard to believe, but true.
S&B’s organic essential oil is made of the best smelling things – jojoba, ylang ylang, rosewood, lemon, frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood, jasmine, grapefruit and cedarwood. So not only does it actually work for just about everything, but it smells amazing and could literally pass for a unisex cologne. It’s even safe to use on your kids and pets. And I’m not even going to get started on that awesome packaging and branding (check out the story of the bottle here).
