A collarbone garnish

Like a pretty flower or tasty sprig of rosemary used to garnish a scrumptious food dish, the beautiful handmade necklaces by garnish are perfect to add a little aesthetic enhancement to your neckline. 

Created from American black walnut wood recycled off cuts from the furniture industry, these necklaces are both stylish and practical, eye-catching and eco-friendly.  What more could you want in a pretty piece of jewelry?  Find these and more inspired wooden accessories at garnish!  (and thank you crafty synergy for introducing them to me!)

Site of the week: Julianna Holowka

I've seen Julianna Holowka's goods available before at little e-boutiques and always admired them, but was happy to see that she recently opened up a little etsy shop, where you can find all her fantabulous goods, all in one spot!  Filled with gorgeously funky housewares that will inspire oohs and aahs from anyone who enters your home, Julianna makes some mean stuff, and I'm not just talking about her cards.  Read on to see what I'm talking about!

These lamps have edge- super unique, they'll be the funky centerpiece your room needs:

And these pillows are lovely and lush, hand-sewn with flowering pods:

Then there's these gorgeous wall panels that shimmy and sparkle in a breeze, the likes of which I've never seen before:

And last but not least, if you have something mean to say, look no further than her mean cards to tell the truth in style:

Find all these wonderful, fun and funky, stylish and funny creations at Julianna Holowka!
