New Life for Old China

I FOUND THESE GREAT RECYCLED PLATES on Etsy. Alan Moyes is the artist, and his work speaks to me. It might to you too, so check it out here. Alan’s work gets the official “Accidental Mysteries Seal of Approval.”

EVERY NOW AND THEN I SEE A COOL PRODUCT I THINK YOU ALL SHOULD KNOW ABOUT. HERE’S SOME KILLER cups and plates I found on Etsy. These cool items, by FoldedPig, are repurposed restaurant ware that have been refired to 1990 degrees with custom decals fused into the glaze. And, you can have certain ones customized with a name. Just in time for that gift you need to buy.

Hand Soaps

THE NEXT TIME YOUR WIFE ASKS YOU TO PICK UP SOME HAND SOAP, order these creepy beauties from a site I found on Etsy.com. The fact that they are “baby-sized” would definitely turn off a lot of people, but not in our house. We might not set them out when we are expecting a visit from our minister—but we don’t have much worry about that.

These “hand soaps”are are completely “hand-made,” so each set is slightly different with different hand-shapes & skin tones. The soaps range from about 1/2” to 2 1/4” tall. According to the site, you get at least 10 hands (at least/about 100 grams of soap). The soap is natural vegetable glycerin & has a very light scent. Order here, on Etsy, where artists and craftsmen sell their work.
