I’m blown away by the necklaces from A Lucious Thing. They are just exquisite. Those earrings {top, right}!! Thanks to the fabulous blog Olivet for scouting these out! They are perfect for a bride, don’t you think?! Now, if I only had somewhere fancy-schmancy to go…

I visited Italy for the first time last summer. We saw incredible sights, endured outrageously hot days, drank lots of wine, and ate some of the most incredible food. One thing I miss since our return to the states is the olive oil. There’s just something about the oil in Italy that is unlike anything I’ve had here.
I was so excited to learn about Amelia Oil a few weeks ago! The business is a Canadian mother-daughter duo who import olive oil from a little Italian town called Amelia. The oil is wonderful, and just like I remember in Italy {my order arrived just last week, and I’ve been savoring it!}. They use only fair trade practices, and sell oil from farmers whom they know personally. The oil is reasonably priced too…for a premium olive oil. I hope you will try it…you can learn more by visiting their site, or their blog!
Do you have a favorite vacation-food that you can’t get where you live? Since I’m asking, you’d better add California fish tacos to my list!
I can’t get enough of this song, “Buddy” by the band Iran. Little did I know that one of the band’s members is Kyp Malone from TV on the Radio {I’m a big, huge, crazy fan of the band, TV on the Radio}…I had no idea! Anyhow, I think the LaLa player that I’ve posted only gives you part of the song…so you can listen to the whole thing here {their MySpace page}.
What do you think? Like it? Hate it?
{ps. cute ceramics on tomorrow’s post…I’ve been busy with our exchange student visiting us, and haven’t made time to post…too busy having fun and enjoying the summer!!}

I love the detail in these sweet flowers by fleurette. So many layers of different fabrics…and beautiful beads! Jo is a stay at home mom in Singapore {hurrah for my other-side-of-the-world blog readers!!}. I think they would be absolutely perfect for a wedding…or at the nape of the neck next to a loose bun, to jazz up one of those no-wash hair days {not that I have any of those. ahem}.
