Spencer Peterman Wood creates handcrafted bowls and cutting boards, turned from fallen trees that Mr. Peterman finds in his hometown of Turners, MA. These hand selected hardwoods become functional works of art as all of the pieces are food safe. Each one is of course crafted from a single piece of wood. Check out his collection at Best American Arts, a gem of a site.
I've been scouring Etsy for an accent quilt to drape over my couch so I have seen A LOT of quilts. I ran across The Bobbins Nest, out of Farmington, Utah, and just had to share her crib and toddler quilts with you. The craftsmanship on these is exquisite and these are truly one of a kind treasures. I love the bold graphics on the quilted white backing. Perfect way to incorporate something unique into your nursery or kids room.

Did you know that every day, 20 million plastic snack bags from school lunches go into landfills? That's a whole lot of ziplocs.
