Friday Finds, Dr. Seuss Style: The Lorax

The Ogre and I are dining on roast beast tonight to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday. We're not as crazy as a loon, or even that remarkable Foon, to see the Lorax movie on opening day. But perhaps in a weekend or two, we will go to the theater to see how much fun the creators of Despicable Me had reinventing a favorite Dr. Seuss world.

Today I went from here to there, from there to here on a search for that fantasy forest. I found crafters like me that do care a whole awful lot - Truffula Trees are sprouting up all over Etsy. The Lorax is being heard!

"I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues."
- The Lorax by Dr. Seuss

Handmade Giveaway: Scarf from Elizabeth Koh

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Susana Silva for submitting the randomly-chosen 392nd entry. Normal people go to the beach in the summer, but I prefer autumn when it's more peaceful. The weather may be chilly, but that's why scarves come in handy! Not to mention that they're also a fun fashion accessory. One winner will get to choose any scarf under $40 from Elizabeth Koh to heat up an outfit. Elizabeth Koh is not one person, but two - both Janelle and Megan's middle names are Elizabeth, and Koh means island in Thailand, where they handcraft all their cotton and silk scarves. Every collection is named after a beach or island in Thailand and feature a range of weights for wearing in several seasons. Elizabeth Koh is committed to improving the communities where their products are made, so 10% of proceeds are donated to SOS Children's Villages in Thailand. Not only will you help feed others by buying a scarf this holiday season, you'll al...

Jewelry Giveaway: Silver Wreath Ring by Kate Szabone

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch. The band looks simply lovely on its own, but can be stacked with two or more rings. Kate even makes a matching engagement ring, available in 14k white, yellow or rose gold and set with a rose cut diamond or moissanite stone! Walking through the wonderland of Kate's online shop is a beautiful sight. Her jewelry is inspired by the simplicity and complexity of nature, the Art Nouveau movement and her mother - a photographer, spinner and fibre artist. Kate uses a range of recycled metals, natural gemstones and conflict-free diamonds whose sparkles are even breathtaking...
