fabulous

Erika at delphine has awarded me with a 'fabulous' award!  Who me?  Why I'm honored!  Truly ...

Erika constantly inspires better design ... through her blog, her stationery, and all her fabulous finds.  So it truly is an honor to have this award come from her.

Okay, then ... the rules state I should share five addictions of mine, and choose five people to pass the award to.

Hmmm ... so just five huh?

1. iPhone - hands down.  And do I even need to explain why?

2. twittering - seems to have gotten the best of me.

3. chapstick - I can't leave home without it.

4. photography - I can spend hours taking photos, looking at photos, editing photos ...

5. slippers & fireplaces - {shhh, that's six} I really can't have one without the other.

Now for the award ... this is really hard, because I subscribe to no less than 100 blogs.  Google Reader is my nemesis.  When I haven't gotten to Reader and it's overflowing with neglected posts, which blogs do I always make sure I read?  And the award goes to ...

1. Simply Seleta - a new-to-me blog, I've been in love since I found it.

2. LobotoME - we carry Jenny's products in the store and well ... she's just really cool.

3. simplesong - Suann designs beautiful products that she features, as well as some of her other favorite finds.

4. The Speckled Egg - I love Jane's mix of posts.  She features fashion, stationery, design ... it's a fun read.

5. Me Ra Koh - what can I even say about this blog?  Inspiration, photography ... it feeds my soul.

Tag ... you're it!

bwp pick of the week {three}

Sorry it's been a couple weeks since the last 'pick of the week.' ... I'm learning it's hard to have a regular feature on a blog. Sometimes I just like to post willy-nilly stuff and when I feel tied to a promise I made, it sort of gives me unneeded pressure. And I realize it really shouldn't be all that dramatic ... no one really missed the weekly pick ... I didn't have people pounding down the door demanding the weekly pick. But if I say I'm going to give you a weekly feature ... then gosh darn it, I want to give you a weekly feature.

All that said ... I am now pleased to announce BWP's 'pick of whenever we feel like picking it!' {that made me smile ...}

And now on to the pick ... LobotoME's Check ME shopping pad. The objective of this pad is "to get you in and out of the store with healthy foods and mind intact." The pad is great for health conscious consumers, listings items like hummus, veggie burgers & free range chicken.

LobotoME's products are eco-friendly, made locally with recycled products. And to offset their carbon footprint, they donate to the Conservation Fund and the 'Go Zero' program. Congrats on making a great product with a conscious!

Jenny, founder of LobotoME also has a fun blog ... check it out!
