Dear Lovely Readers: Kindly accept this abbreviated PSYWL post. Next week I promise to get back to the robust, filled-to-brimming-over posts that you all have come to expect of me. In the meantime, know that, although this post is a bit thin, it is filled with things I love to bits. Sincerely, Susie

P.S. No Weekend Reading today either, I’m afraid. I couldn’t see for most of the week so I didn’t get much reading done. It will be back- with bells on next- week.

I am currently quite obsessed with all things archery. (An obsession that pre-date the release of the The Hunger Games and Brave, I’ll have you know! Seriously! Ask Amy. She knows I’ve been going on and on for a year about not being able to find an archery class to take!) Anywho, this quiver full of arrows is only for decoration but it is lovely, nevertheless. $54.

I want to wear these Boxy Knit Pajamas always. $69.

Burgon & Ball, makers of fine sheep shears and hoof trimmers, also sells these adorable herb jars. Who knew?

If I had $328 to spend on a Woven Ash Wood Pack Basket I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to buy one, but it sure is pretty.

I have really been inspired by Maya Made’s blog lately. Maya and I met at Squam Arts Workshop a few years ago. I don’t know her well, but she is great friends with some of my favorite people in the world- Lizzy House, Laura Nelkin and Kimm Branch. Her blog is a great place to go when your creative well seems to have run dry.

Isn’t this baby dress the cutest? Size 12 to 18 months. $29.50.

The best $33 I ever spent was this bumper sticker! See, a non-profit is trying to raise money to buy back Nikola Tesla’s old laboratory, known as the Wardenclyffe Tower, and turn it into a Tesla Museum. It is shameful that there isn’t already a Tesla Museum, frankly. You can donate to the project at various levels and get cool Tesla swag, but the bumper sticker is the coolest! More info on the project here.

This art is created by arranging salt in pattens. Just staggeringly beautiful. (via NotMartha, my PSYWL secret weapon.)

I love this! It’s called the Pub Prop. “This serves a very specific purpose: if you play a guitar-like instrument at folk music sessions in pubs, then you don’t normally have space for a conventional guitar stand, and putting your instrument in its case when you want to get a drink is awkward. This device clamps onto the edge of a table and holds the guitar securely upright by the neck.” I am mostly posting this for my friend Suzy’s husband Frank, who plays guitar in pubs a lot, but Frank doesn’t read my blog. Oh well. Maybe Suzy will tell him about it.
