Hearts are indeed made in factories.

If you are lacking a heart or tired of your heart being broken it would be wise to invest in your own tiny heart factory.

Re-cycled fridge magnets - Friday Finds.

These cool re-cycled fridge magnets are available from teamzvonik.etsy.com

Here is what they say about this creation :

These 100% recycled paper pulp hearts are hand-painted and hand-cast by yours truly!
I created these specifically to find a good way to re-use all the useless bills, receipts, tags and other "junk" paper that comes into my life.
The texture of cast paper is irregular and imperfect- making each piece unique and full of interest!
Fun eco-magnets with lots of personality!

This listing includes 6 hearts- each one measures approx. 1.25"x 1" x .75".

I love recycling, don't you?!

So good I had to buy one.....

I stumbled across this Etsy shop and loved one of the books so much, I just had to buy one.

Froydis Faire Books speciliase in up-cycling old books. Here is a brief description in their own words.

Whatever their story, I have a difficult time passing these lovelies by. Recently, I've decided to rescue some, and give them the opportunity for a new life. I take out old, ripped text blocks, remove the pages that are unsalvageable, and clean up the cover as well as I can. I then add new pages - sketch papers, and sometimes art papers and tracing papers - new endpapers, and bookmarker ribbons. With the bumps and bruises that cannot be removed, these old friends retain the mystery of their past so that, perhaps, a new owner will see their value, fill them with their own words and images, and treasure them for years to come.

So pop on over and treat yourself to a unique present.

9k Yellow Gold Guitar Pick - Plectrum

For the guy or gal who has everything.

Fully hallmarked 9k yellow gold guitar pick.

Enough said really......

Friday Finds.....

What a cool bottle opener.

Their words on this item

"I enjoy strolls along the tracks for any number of reasons. One of the highlights is overhearing railroad spikes calling out to me who would really like to find a higher purpose in life.

I found this spike, heated it until it glowed orange, beat it with my hammer, gripped it in my vise, and twisted the bejesus out of it in order to create this hefty-yet-elegant bottle opener. It feels wonderful in the hand, comfortably opens even the strongest beer, and looks great sitting on the counter in the kitchen, or on the shelf behind the bar.

Bring this delightful piece of recycled steel into your home, and you'll be sure to start a great many conversations! Not to mention enjoy many of your favorite beverages in new style."
