Ayo Skeete emailed me to share her fabulous jewelry (featured on NTS way back when!)

I love her simple, elegant pieces and these three in particular: 1, 2 and 3.

Perfect for Christmas gifting... ;)

wholesome scraps

Sometimes the universe knows just what we need. In this case: calm! I've been spread a little thin this week with midterm presentations, but I remembered an email from artist Ashleigh Rosa of Wholesome Scraps and had to share. I find her work incredibly peaceful and ethereal - just what the doctor ordered. Ashleigh is also responsible for a great blog, while her talented husband Johnny Ninos handcrafts jewelry. (What a catch!)

See more from both of them: blog / Wholesome Scraps / Johnny Ninos
