I know that one day I will use all (most…some…one?) of these fabric scraps and I am tired of having them jumbled at the bottom of a drawer. It occurred to me yesterday to display the cuties in this apothecary jar. Now I can actually SEE my fabrics and enjoy the little bit of them i have left. Not that you need the how-to, but it’s posted after the jump anyway…

Baby Food Jar Projects: Soy Candle Place Cards
So I’ve never really had the urge to make a candle, but I have all these baby food jars and the fabric tea lights were so popular, I thought I’d give it a shot. It’s crazy easy, you can buy everything you need at Michael’s or Amazon cheaply, and the result is a super-posh way to recycle baby food jars into fun party place cards that will make everyone think you are some sort of crafty wizard.
Hey thanks OhDeeDoh for the post today!
and thanks to Re-Nest too!

My Neighborhood Inspiration: Jaime from Fairfax Village
Our homes are inevitably influenced by where we choose to live. Here begins a new series of inspiration posts highlighting the neighborhoods of our favorite bloggers. I’ll start: I live right around the corner from the Fairfax district of Los Angeles. Fairfax is a wonderful mish-mash of Jewish shops, temples, and bakeries and hipster record stores, skateboard shops and edgy restaurants. Because orthodox jews do not drive on the Sabbath their communities exist in close proximity – allowing them to walk to their shops and temples. The orthodox community makes wonderful neighbors and have the best bakeries and thrift shops. In the past few years the unorthodox skateboarding world (a world my husband inhabits) has crept onto the street with stores like Supreme (you can skate the bowl right in the store), The Hundreds, and SLB. Have a fancy meal at the sign-free Animal, a kosher deli experience (hello, egg creams with my dad) at famous Canter’s Deli, or watch Jack Black and crew test out new material at comedy club Largo.
The cutest thing on my entire street? The Hebrew alphabet learning toys…in Hebrew it’s called the “Aleph Bet” đŸ™‚

Fabric covered letters – a hair clip holder?
I’ve always loved the look of these fabric covered letters. You can save some cash and customize with your choice of fabric by making them on your own! They also make a cute hair-clip holder… if you’re into that kind of thing.

Checkbooks are ugly. I see the necessity of carrying a checkbook as an excuse to have something pretty peeking out of your bag.
