If I had this....

...I would never get out! It's been a awhile since I was able to just sit and relax but if I could, this
Chesapeake 4-Pole Hammock from Pottery Barn would be ideal. No need to find 2 perfect trees to hang in, with this cool 4-pole design. Simple to set up & you could probably fit the whole family on this one. But that might take the relaxing out of it... Sorry kids, I think there's only room for Mom:)

Hold the Wasabi


I think I am the only one in America who doesn't like Sushi. But that doesn't mean that you can't invite me out for a tuna roll sometime... As long as I can bring my own "White Chocolate" Kozara from Suedy's Koo-Ki Sushi. That's right, I said chocolate. There's nothing fishy about it, only a crisp rice cookie, covered in rows of apricot gummy eggs, wrapped in chocolate. I'll even try it with the "Wasabi"... yes, it's a dessert too:)

Talk About Dedication

One of my favorites places to look for cool new finds is on Etsy. I'm always floored with the talent that is displayed. Nili, owner of Portland Beanie Company is one I am truly amazed by. First, because these beanies are the cutest I've ever seen & second , because she has made thousands of them by hand, by herself. For those of you who have ever tried crochet, know it takes a lot of patients to finish just one project. So when you check out pdxbeanies, you'll appreciate the hard work and craftsmanship it takes to produce such fabulous products. There's styles for the whole family, everything from beanies to Mary Jane Slippers. Oh and the pictures are just to cute for words:)

Portland Beanie Company is offering Simple Finds readers a 15% off rebate on any order. Be sure to type code "simplefinds" in the "message to the seller" section of checkout. Please note this is a rebate since it won't be automatically applied but will be issued as a partial refund after the order and payment are sent.



And the best part of the day is the GIVEAWAY! One lucky winner can take their pick of one of the children's beanies in any size between 0-3 months and 5T-preteen!

A $30 value

Wanna play checkers?

One of my favorite things to do when I was little, was play checkers with my Grandpa. When I saw this Bottle Cap Checker Board Set at Watermelon Wishes, all the memories of trying so hard to beat him came back to me. Handcrafted amazingly with Amy Butler fabrics and embellished bottlecaps, this set is perfect for a sunny day at the beach or a rainy day inside. It can also be custom made from a variety of fabric choices & comes in cool carrying case. Now that I think about it, if I had this back then...there's no way I would have lost;) Pin It

Where's the palm trees?

There's definitely a lot of trees in Washington but one that I truly miss is the Palm Tree. With this non-traditional palm bonsai, I can take a bit of paradise with me wherever I go. Low maintenance & occasional watering... sounds like the perfect tree for me:)

Pikes Market Find

While visting Pikes Market I found this great company, Fay Farms. They sell some amazing body products. My first pick was the coconut & vanilla shea body butter. Made from all natural ingredients & a variety of essential oils, you'll be amazed at how far a little dab will go. #2 fav find was the Hemp Salve. My son has a severe case of eczema on his hands, it's been 4 days of use and his hands have never been so soft. Excellent for dry, damaged skin & works great on cuts. If you're in the Seattle area, I highly suggest you drop by Pikes Market and grab yourself a gift bag of Fay Farm goodies but in case you're nowhere near, don't worry, you can check out the online shop:) Pin It

How many times have you attempted to make your own chore charts for you kids?

I was thrilled to find these chore charts over at My Crazy Life, designed by Sherelle Christensen. There pretty enough to frame:)
