Heart and Dart Teacrafted Soaps makes beautiful soaps and sells them Etsy. They would make perfect gifts, guest soaps, or just to have for day-to-day pleasure for yourself.
When reading their shop announcement on their Etsy page, I saw that they have a blog, and being blog obsessed I headed over. On the blog I found a little secret:
They are having a SALE from now until June 24th, 2008. 20% off all soaps when you enter the code “CARFARE”. Sola, one of the creators of these soaps is needing to raise some cash to commute to a potential opportunity she has coming up. You can read about her opportunity and the SALE on the blog.
Support handmade products and a commuter in need! Why not start out with ordering the gorgeous Victorian Sampler Set? (You get to choose the 3 bars.)

We have this long, quite nice, concrete wall that spans our hallway that we wanted to adorn. We don’t have the means to put pins or nails in the concrete but we did notice some points in the wall that we could run some string on and create a place where we could display a multitude of images. We used small wooden clips (a mini version of clothes pins) to hold the pictures on the string. It is easy to change out, add or, move any of the pictures.
Project cost: $3 for the mini clothes pins bought a craft store, the string was virutally free.
I recenly saw a Photojojo project that is another version of a photo wall Bulldog Clips + Photos = Stylish Photo Wall. They suggest variations you can take to customize it for you.
This is a more complex project with the simple way or, a more complicated way. But its a fairly cheap project: $60 for a lot of photo displaying real estate. It was inspired by a theater who displayed cast bios and other information on little boards.
Get out your photos and enjoy them! Try one of these ideas or, invent your own.
