uncommon...

i was poking around the uncommon goods website....
...finding so many great things...
but i narrowed it down to my 2 favorites....

a recycled mail sack ipad case
just the sort of piece-y, vintagey thing that i love

and...

a recycled bike spoke money clip for my guy
who hates to carry anything in his pockets, so he has the smallest wallet ever....
....and he loves to bike
(but would he like a money clip? ...i don't know...would have to find out)

the best...

a lovely thing to do for the one you love......
