The Caliber Collection

elizabeth — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 01:34:26 +0000

These bracelets are making the rounds, and I really couldn’t love them anymore. As someone who lives Oakland, a city that, like Newark, is deeply affected by gun violence, I am and will continue to be a vocal supporter of passing much tighter gun laws, as well as of gun buy back programs like the one that this project supports.:

“Gun Violence is not something we have to accept, it is something we can do something about and our strategies can reap tremendous results.”
- New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker

“The Caliber Collection is made up of metal from 250 guns and bullet casings seized by the Newark Police Department… The name Caliber was chosen for its two meanings; the caliber of a gun and how the caliber of a city is raised when illegal guns are taken off its streets.”

Solstice Lamp

I love tripod lamps, and this one is on my current wish list:

It’s the Solstice Lamp from Ample Furniture, a small company making hand-crafted wooden goodness in Seattle. Best part? (Well, besides the red cord, which is obviously amazing,) they offer free shipping in the continental US.

The Carrier

I need a new bag for fall, as I’ve been carrying canvas tote bags all summer and they always start to seem too casual when closed toe shoes start to become a necessity.

I’ve long been a fan of waxed canvas, and have a Moop bag from 2007 that I still like, so I’m currently eying their Carrier bag in brown waxed canvas. It seems like it would go with most things, and would fit my laptop, which is key for the bag I carry every day. Not cheap by any means, but perhaps a classic that I would be happy with for a long time (and their construction is excellent, so it would definitely last a long time.)

I’ve long loved Paul Octavious‘s work, and I’m really digging this print he put in his shop a few weeks ago.

dreamy, no?

rock collections

I am really digging these rock collections by Cori Kindred. The perfect thing to slip onto a bookshelf, or place on top of a dresser along with some framed photos.

rainbow notebooks

There is little better than a fresh notebook – it’s the essence of possibility.

Especially when the notebook is made of recycled leather and comes in one of the incredible colors of these Paperthinks Recycled Leather Notebooks. Don’t you want the whole stack?
