This post brought to you by the letter A.

Because "A" is my first and last initial, I'm kind of obsessed. I like it in almost any font, uppercase or lower...and now I've found an initial necklace that I'm also kind of obsessed with.

See for yourself:

14K Gold and diamond initial charm necklace, $350.

Isn't it gorgeous? It's handmade in 14K gold with a teeny little diamond, but you can also get it without the diamond or in sterling silver. Lurrrve!

The bird is the word.

Lindsey Beth and I both lurrrve a good bird motif--but neither of us really like birds in actuality. I mean, I like to eat chicken, and I think cardinals and robins are pretty and all, but I also think pigeons are like rodents with wings.

I know. I'm complex.

Anyway, because I prefer my birds in silhouette or, you know, not real, I happen to like this pretty bird trivet from Terrain. It's hand-carved from reclaimed pine, and it's budget friendly:
