Harvest your own pearl for this necklace




$19.99 Unopened pearl oyster and necklace setting

This set comes with an oyster that has been impregnated with a seed starter which makes it form a pearl over the span of a few years. Basically you put something in the oyster that irritates it, and it forms smooth layers over it so that it stops itching.
A pearl is kind of like an oyster's version of a pimple.

Anyway, you get an oyster that contains a pearl and a metal necklace setting which is silver-plated.
Then you get to open the oyster and put your pearl in a necklace.
I would have loved this as a kid.
It reminds me of those "break your own geode" kits which were awesome.

This would make an awesome gift for a like-minded kid.

Etsy Find of the Day: Orange elephant pencil holder

Look at this cutie:
$22.50 Ceramic elephant pencil holder

The color is the very "now" tangerine that all the mood boards are exploding with.
You could put pencils in the holes, or paint brushes, or even flowers for a cool arrangement.

Target Pollie Espadrille is a similar, cheaper version of Coach Maleena Wedge

$29.99 Mossimo Pollie Strappy Espadrille

The high wedge, criss-cross straps, black edges on the tan straps...it reminded me of something.
Oh Yeah! The Coach Maleena's that I finally got last year after loving them so much!

$198 Coach Maleena at Bloomies

It's not an exact match; the leather is lighter in the Maleenas and it is darker (and plastic-er) in the Pollies, the Maleenas are higher and the straps are thinner, the Pollies have an extra criss cross instead of the parallel straps up the sides.
But they are pretty close!
What do you think?

Bunny pave ring

$242 Pat Bunny ring

I love this ring! It's sterling silver with pave cubic zirconia.
The bunny sits sideways on your finger which I haven't seen done as nicely on other rings.
It's expression is also really cute. Looks like my bunny!

DIY Rock Key Hider

Here's a smart way to hide a spare key:
You glue a rock to a pill bottle, put the key in the bottle, and hide it in your planter or garden so only the rock shows.
Better than "under the welcome mat" right?
And it's also cool if you have guests and you tell them "pull up the green rock in the garden."
