Featherweight Earrings

Sticky summer weather calls for fuss-free, featherweight jewelry like these aluminum earrings from Singerman & Post. The patterns are Leni Singerman's original artwork, duplicated as film photo transfers. The thin aluminum layers are joined so that the resulting earrings are not flat but dimensional sculptures. Glass beads add just the right accent.

Do you know why Dead Sea minerals are so special?
The Dead Sea sits at the lowest point on earth and contains ten times the mineral concentration of ordinary seawater. Skin-boosting minerals such as Calcium and Magnesium are present in much higher proportions. Even useful proteins, created by fossils and algae, play a part in the mix. Dead Sea Minerals are unparalleled in helping the skin to lock in moisture.

Candy Cubes

It's always a good day when we get a new shipment from Rosselini Jewelry. This stunner arrived today, and would make any simple black dress or colorful top fade to mere background. Swarovski cubes and square rondelles in a rainbow of luscious candy tones are grounded by basic black and silverplated stainless steel. If that's not enough to satisfy your cravings, a coordinating bracelet and pair of earrings were in that box, too.

Oven to Table

Durable stoneware will last a lifetime, so choose a timeless design like this oval baker from Maggy Ames. Its clean lines and straightforward functionality make it a classic, and knowing that you can safely pop it into the dishwasher will give you added incentive to use it frequently. At 14" long by 7" wide and 3" deep, it would accommodate lasagne or any other casserole. This is a generous size to use for serving bread, chips or crudites at a large party - baking not required!

For the King of Coffee

What Dad wouldn't love a manly drinking vessel like this? Over 8" high, the potter calls it a stein, but it would serve as a mug for the caffeine-cravers out there. Wood ash glaze imparts incredible textural effects.

Pretty Poppies

We have a new shipment of finely felted flower pins like this pretty poppy from Lexi Rojahn. Sheep's wool is felted, sometimes with silk fibers, then free-motion embroidered and finally cut out. Hand beading is a frequent embellishment. A pin back allows you to wear flowers all year-round on a lapel, hat brim or purse.
