Do you ever sit around and wonder, what happens to antiquated/ outdated law books? Ok, I’m sure you don’t, but I do and I was super excited to find Kathy Kelly’s awesome company Bookbags! Kathy works as a law librarian for a law firm in Erie, Pennsylvania. She created her line using  repurposed book covers from outdated lawbooks and I am totally obsessed!!

I can’t wait to get mine! By the way Kathy, you really should market these awesome bags to law schools…

TGIF… but I have been on vacation so I guess I shouldn’t really be all that stressed! Anyway, I discovered Painted on ecco*eco and love these flowy, ethereal designs. From the site:

Painted believes in the pleasure and strength of designing in collaboration and wishes to revive almost forgotten crafts, a tribute to delicate beauty.
Different handwritings unite in a personal way of developing clothes, giving each piece its own life being designed in close dialogue with the person who will wear it.
Painted Series consists of pieces made either as couture in  ‘pieces uniques’ or in small series where each garment still has its own features: Painted-à-Porter.
The garments are part of an ever-growing series, like a band’s repertoire. Unrestricted by time, place or seasons, Painted presents in its own rhythm and by invitation. A story in garments

Painted is a collective led by Saskia van Drimmelen, Desirée Hammen and Margreet Sweerts. [They] work together with masters in nearly forgotten crafts like needlepoint lace from Bulgaria and beadwork of the Assiniboine tribe from Northern America. By sharing knowledge and the joy of making, traditional techniques breathe new life.

Enjoy the sun today!

I can’t remember the last time I was this relaxed. Leave it to MV. . . I know I’ve shared this JFK quote before, but it resonates every time I head to the Island:

“All of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea — whether it is to sail or to watch it — we are going back from whence we came.”

Going there is like a little mini rebirth or something.

Anyway, enough about me and more about grain . . . a cool company that focuses (and helps other companies focus) on sustainability.  Be sure to check out their projects, services and their cool online shop.

OMG, I can’t believe that this upcoming weekend is the 4th of July. It seems like just yesterday I was dancing barefoot on the Vineyard…
Anyway, as I sit back and try to figure out where the past year went, enjoy the eco-friendly looks of Van Markoviec!

These summer weeks go by so fast!
Anyway, TGIF. Here’s a little dorkout action for you on a Friday… all items made from recycled computer parts (click on the pictures for a link to the referring sites. Honestly? I’m too lazy to write them in this morning).

Enjoy!
