31 Bits

Consumerism that gives back and makes you feel good? Yes! Kallie Dovel founded 31 Bits after a visit to Uganda when she was inspired to help talented women market their jewelry. She brought three friends on board to help and they began purchasing goods from six women every month. Now they’re up to 99 women and a fantastic online marketplace full of beaded jewelry that’s made from recycled paper. You can read more about what they’re doing in Uganda right here. Beautiful pieces for a beautiful cause.

Turntable Kitchen

 

 

I’m all kinds of in love with the notion behind Turntable Kitchen. Music! Cooking! Vinyl! Recipes!

San Francisco couple Kasey and Matthew started connecting good and music on their site with hand-selected recipes and musical pairing, and recently they began offering up a Pairings Box. It’s a curated food and music discovery experience delivered to your door, you can either order by the month or subscribe. Fab concept, no? My favorite part is that the music shows up on vinyl. Maybe, just maybe, this is the perfect gift for the foodie/music lover in your life.

PS: Don’t miss their backlog of stellar mixtapes!

Harabu House

Harabu House – a name derived from Sanskrit – was launched in 2010. Since then they’ve been full of globally chic offerings that are stylish and eco-friendly solutions to everyday living. Where possible they strive to find sustainable products, which provide economic, social and environmental benefits to the artisans who create them. I love a company that does good! Harabu House’s range of finds are innovative, beautiful, modern and perfect for your home. And with the holidays literally just around the corner they just might be a perfect fit for your gift list!

Check out a few of my favorites above: Reclaimed Wood Salt + Pepper Shakers, Gold Finish Coffee Spoon, Mar Y Sol Opal Clutch, and the Swedish Breadboard.

The Night Circus

Have you read The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern? It’s so, so good! Good in the way that I’ve been reading it for two weeks and am only about two thirds of the way through because I never want it to end.
