Thanks to Sansiena our Geographia Belt Buckle has been highlighted in her “travel bug collection.”
We’re crushing on several other items, such as:
- From My Bearded Pigeon {out of New South Wales, Australia}, map pillows galore, beautifully made in colors that will sure to please. Although the Mexico pillow is sold, there are plenty of other terrific map designs available.
- We are absolutely wild about krieloWilliams’ dresses. Such a brilliant idea! Justin offers a variety of dress styles (which can be customized) and an array of exquisite fabric designs. Impeccably tailored … the custom 1950′s Style Nautical Scarf Print Twist Dress is dreamy.
- Don’t miss out on Sew Smitten where you can pick up your World Map Passport Holder. We’re also fond of the London Map Oyster Card Holder. Ideal gifts for friends who travel. Plus be sure to see more of their merchandise at their website.

I love blogs for foodies that are impeccably designed. I’ve gone completely bonkers over this newly found blog, spoon fork bacon.
Sweet Cherry Gin & Tonic
Serves 4 to 5
Ingredients:
cherry-lime simple syrup:
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons sweet cherry juice

2 cups gin (“Tanqueray Rangpur” is my favorite for this)
¼ cup fresh lime juice
8 cups tonic water
fresh lime wedges
Directions:
1. Place the cherry juice, lime juice and sugar into a small sauce pan and simmer until the sugar dissolves.
2. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
3. In a pitcher stir together the cherry-lime syrup, gin, and lime juice.
4. When ready to serve fill glasses with ice and pour ¼ cup of the gin mixture into each glass.
5. Fill the glasses with tonic water, stir and serve with lime wedges.

Oh how I wish we had glamping when I grew up. We {seven children and my parents} camped for weeks on end every summer in Prince Edward Island. Those summers were ultimately my most cherished times of my childhood, although I sure would have enjoyed a little more glamour. If I heard it once I heard it a million times, “don’t touch the tent or it’ll leak.”

We were featured by Konvaliia Designs out of New York with this beautiful combination of items from under the sea. Dana Lenec has a terrific array of photography and drawings in her store, so please be sure to check them out.
So many beautiful items, we’re exceptionally fond of the following:
- The sealife seashell pillow cover is spectacular. Ruth Arthur is the artist behind Designer Cushions out of New Zealand. This SHOP is a must see. Her prices are incredibly low for the amount of time that is put into each and every cushion cover. Her attention to detail is truly amazing.
- Non Fiction Tees, featuring tees with vintage illustrations. We can’t get enough of Ernst Haeckel!
- Don’t miss out on the steampunk shark necklace from Cosmic Firefly, you will love all the items they carry. I’m crushing on so many of their business card cases.
- And of course, we’re fond of our coral and sea urchin belt buckle too!

As mentioned on Monday, I’m fond of portraits and love to see them hung in clusters.
Hot off my easel. An original 19″ square, papier collé, framed and ready to hang.

I love portraits even if I don’t know the person in the painting. There is something mysterious about having a collection of portraits displayed.
An idea for my next papier collé.
