heart bowl by jessica rust

minnesota artist jessica rust does some lovely clay work, made even more special by the fact that it can be personalized for memorable gift giving. she recently added a new piece to her collection: the heart bowl. This piece is extra special because jessica is giving 100% (yes you read that right) of the profits from this piece to the american heart association.

sounds like a win-win-win to me.

jessica is offering free shipping on this piece until september 2nd, 2008 too - brilliant, as we are in the height of wedding season!

timing is everything, so hop on over to her site, use code heartship and enjoy.

amuse bouche jewelry by blue poppy

in the food world, an amuse bouche is a tiny bite-sized morsel served before the hors d’œuvre or first course of a meal. they serve to tickle the taste buds, are representative of the chef’s culinary style and prepare you for the rest of the meal. now, can you imagine what an amuse bouche for would look like in jewelry form? wonder no more!

look at these fabulous amuse bouche rings from california artists jill redman and erin lockwood for their blue poppy jewelry line. they’re made of actual spices (like cloves, cayenne and wasabi on the left side below) that are encased in resin and then inlaid with teeny drops of sterling silver by hand (of course).

beautiful flowing color + organic shapes + fun talking point for your next dinner party = two thumbs up!

they also have spice earrings in an extensive color palette, just in case you’d like to complete your ensemble.
