There are some great projects over at cut out + keep, a rich craft community site full of tutorials and forums. This dress made of 7,500 paper clips is quite the eye-catcher. I wonder what kind of jingly, jangly sound it might make ...

Birdhouse no. 7
I have a crush on this necklace—birdhouse no. 7—by lulubug jewelry. Of course the bronze squid is pretty awesome as well. See all of her handmade offerings in her etsy shop.

1. Peony necklace by Shop Sugar and Spice

It's a Deal!
Need some whimsy? I thought so. Well Amy Beth of Supah Etsy has graciously offered a whopping 40% discount with this coupon code: EXTRACRISPY. You might remember her Happy Place terrarium post from the other day found here. Shown in the photo are butterfly clips, business cat key fob and ric-rac flower brooch (can also be a hair clip).
Daily{ish} iPhone Photo: Tapas!
I don't know how I missed this restaurant, but I'm glad we finally stumbled upon it. We'd been craving some true Spanish Tapas and so we found Cafe Malaga the modern way—we googled it.

The dish in the second photo is sweet peppers stuffed with goat cheese and crostini. Yum.
