by aileen on February 22, 2012

Love this simple idea for a magnetic board – an oil pan (from your local car parts store) – it’s held to the wall with velcro. Very clever. From Nic and Kate.

Love and Mardi Gras…

by aileen on February 21, 2012

Today is my twelfth wedding anniversary and Mardi Gras day. We got married on Mardi Gras day so we always count that as our anniversary (even though it moves every year). So please forgive the lack of posts – the clever will be back tomorrow, today is about celebrating.

Ashes to Ash tree…

by aileen on February 16, 2012

Sorry about the headline – I just can’t resist a pun (you should know that by now). This is a sweet idea. An urn that you can use to grow a tree, and eventually plant outside. I love that the ashes grow into something else, and the ceramic ring is quite beautiful. Poetree (yes I love the name) via Treehugger

PR Daily have just released the most used (and overused) words in Press Releases. As always with charts go and read the explanation behind this – it’s not really the way it looks (the word solution was only used in 1.8% of headlines) Read the study here. – it’s always interesting to become more aware of the words we use.
