So, one of my favorite wedding gifts we got was two GlassyBaby candles. My dear cousin lives in Seattle and gave me some candles for a gift! In red and teal of course for my love of these colors as they are my company colors for Dry Ink Designs – RED AND TEAL.
Here you can see them in my office!
They are amazing size, hold a tea-light and best yet, 10% from the sale of every glassy baby goes directly to organizations that support people in all kinds of needs. To date over $2M has been donated to help others.
Visit their website here for more information. You can see how they are made, how to stay in touch with their online community, and where to shop.
These are great! I love having them in my house – especially now that I know the story behind it!

You all know that we love jewelry with meaning. You can see that in a few of our past posts.

Well, I come today with another find! Remember jelly bracelets?
I remember wearing these, sharing them with friends and lining my arm with them each day depending on my outfit!
Well, thanks to Steve Parkes we have a new version! Steve travels throughout Africa, helping create programs that can pay for education and feeding of women and children through Fair Trade programs. These bangle bracelet sets are made in Mali of recycled rubber that is painted with eco-friendly paints. Each bracelet will be different.
Best thing… they are $1 each! You can find them online or sometimes in local stores.
If you are local to Charlotte, they carry them at Paper Sky Scraper on East Blvd.
Enjoy!

So… you guys have heard me talk about my 100 lb puppy, Bella. Our wild, beautiful, cuddling Great Dane. Maybe you remember the blog post I wrote about her a few months ago.
Here is the day we picked her up – 6 months ago.
She has changed so much…but you can see I get the same – ol – look. I wish I knew what was going on in her mind when she looks at me this way! ha!
Now we are bit more settled in… Her birthday is on our “we started dating” anniversary – yeah we keep track of it, so we gave her a big bone as a treat! She loved it!
Well, today I found the coolest thing i have seen in a while… Benefit Wines. I came across it because Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love (Facebook) has a page with them. You can purchase bottles of wine through the Benefits Wines website, and a portion of the money goes to the charity…. awesome in my book. You can shop by various charities... there are all dogs represented here so it is not just great danes! You can also shop by cause which has community, veteran, animal, health based and wildlife affiliated charities.
Now back to the Great Danes. Check out these wine labels..who doesn’t want some of this wine!
How could you say no to that?!?
