Ceramics From Harabu House...(Via Made By Girl)

Ever since my KITCHEN was finished.... I've been looking around for cute little ceramics that I could display & use. I have a collection of SEA SALTS, spices & other that could work well with ceramics, especially to display at dinner parties! 


Harabu House just might be a great source to satisfy those little desires!  I'll let Shilpa the owner of Harabu House tell you more about her shop..... (in her own words) below. 

"I recently launched Harabu House, an online boutique for modern home accessories which has a global element to it. Having grown up in Singapore, I was exposed to varying influences, since Singapore is a country that bridges both modern and ancient cultures seamlessly.  


My design aesthetic tends to be primarily modern, with asian influences (indian, cambodian, thai, malay, japanese etc) in design and art. So some of the products i procure tend to lean in that direction. First and foremost modern, but with a bit of a global influence, if i can find it.  Also, several of my finds are handmade and eco-friendly as well." 


Thanks to Shilpa for sharing this with us!  I have to say my favorite is the salt & pepper cellar with the gold spoon! How cute would that look on my breakfast table?? Love it!

Reco Jeans by Alanis Morissette and Woody Harrelson



In an effort to promote awareness and preserve our environment, Singer Alanis Morissette and actor Woody Harrelson have teamed up to bring us Reco Jeans, which are made with 50% recycled denim.


The reco® signature pocket is inspired by the 5 elements of Chinese culture; Metal (Mineral), Fire, Wood, Water, and Earth (Soil). The 5 horizontal lines, displayed across the back pocket, represent each element of nature.


To make things even more interesting, they’re holding a dutch auction until July 18, allowing you to decide the prices of 300 limited box sets of the jeans which will also include a special edition Reco iPod case. The bids in the dutch auction will also be factored into the final price of the jeans, so don’t miss your chance to take part!
