Raise a Glass of Leninade

For my first Mother's Day, Jason bought me a new closet (basically, my old one collapsed and imploded - loooong story) and this t-shirt here to the left. The Golden Girls kept my sanity intact during those early weeks of motherhood. Thank you Dorothy, Blanche, Rose, and especially Sophia! Now it's his turn. His first Father's Day is just around the corner and I couldn't help but give him his gifts early. I know, I know yeah whatever - he wanted them! So in addition to a new set of much-needed headphones and a Cat Steven's Best of CD (including the song "Father and Son"), I got Jason a little something snarky I knew he would love.

These upcycled bottles of Leninade soda by YAVA Glass were the perfect Father's Day gift. They also sell beer and vodka bottle glasses, too. I wish I could have one of each!

So here's to you, Pops. Let's raise a glass of Leninade to all the dads out there!

Tefi Loves: RecycleRabbit

Children's book author and illustrator, Liz Goulet Dubois, loves to make plushies and ornamental pretties out of recycled pieces of scrap fabric, ribbon, and felt. Her Etsy shop listings look like pages from a kid's book filled with adorable flora and fauna. It's no wonder I really love Flora, the Kitty Cat Doll. Her aqua and pink color compliment her vintage 70's floral print dress and green rick rack trim. What little girl wouldn't love getting this under the tree this season?

And while you're at it, trim that plastic tree with this pair of darling orange birdy ornaments (above) stuffed with Maine balsam needles. Your faux tree will smell piney, and you'll be saving a real tree from the chainsaw!

Upcycled Rolodex

Who knew a Rolodex could be so cool? Just look at this one from Teen1's Etsy shop using magazine subscription inserts. Olives update: 32 I'm going to do this! The first thing I do when I get a new magazine is flip through and trash all of those annoying subscription inserts. Not anymore. Thanks Teen1 for the eco-friendly inspiration!
