In the spirit of Halloween, I thought I’d take a look at one of my favorite little trends…the mustache! {even though none of these items are Halloween-y}. One of my favorite design blogs, Decor 8 was WAY ahead of me to catch on to this trend…click here to see her post about it. Thought I’d do my part to spread the mustache love.
The mustache pencils are from ATYPYK I love the variations {Salvador, Zorro, Burt, Django and Clark}. Hysterical! Atypyk is a super cool site too, by the way.
The mustache magnets are from Nice Designs. Love these! Plenty of other funky magnets and things on her site.
The glassware is from Bread and Badger. They have lots of other cute etched glassware too…I especially love the robots!
Last but not least are the handkerchiefs from Avril Loreti. Her site is filled with fantastic little napkins and handkies {check out the chairs, and fortunes on cocktail napkins!!}.
Jayme from Lillipops Designs takes plain ‘ol dress shirts, and stitches them into the cutest clothing for little girls. I wish my daughter could fit into them…they are adorable! Her mix of fabrics makes an otherwise masculine shirt so sweet. Just love these…so creative! {and how cute is the little belly on the little girl in the blue skirt, above?!}. Spread the word about this little shop…
Clandstino is an underground supper club based in Chicago. The whole thing is put together by Chef Efrain and his wonderful crew. They put together dinner parties in various places around the city.
Here’s how it works: you sign up for their mailing list {it’s a safe one, no worries}. When a new party is planned, the folks at Clandestino let you know what’s on the multi-course menu, and the general area of the city where it will be held. A few days before the event, you are told the location! It’s byob, really casual and has fabulous food. Artists and musicians are featured at each event too {all local indie minded folks}.
Here’s why I love it: First, the food is amazing. Just amazing. I love that the dishes are made with seasonal, locally raised and grown food. I love the eclectic mix of people that attend…and I love supporting a young, talented chef. {the photos above were taken at an event that we hosted. It was amazing.}

Just got my shipment from Bidwell Botanicals in the mail. What wonderful products! I love her fragrances, and the quality is superior. My new favorite is the honey bamboo body wash….especially this skin-drying time of year. It smells fresh and clean with a touch of honey. Great! Gift packs make perfect gifts for the soap/lotion junkie like me!
