I have no idea how I went so many years without knowing about Digs.com, but now that I know, I've resigned myself to the fact that I will now spend countless hours of my life admiring page after page of the site's delightful, sustainably produced goodies.

Save the French Fries!

Today is Blog Action Day! So let's take a moment to discuss a few of the reasons I'm against climate change:

1. Warmer temperatures are threatening potato crops. And a life without French fries is no life at all.

2. Scientists predict a 40% drop in avocado crops over the next 40 years. Where am I supposed to dip my chips?

3. Pinot Noir grapes are being damaged by the new warm climate. So what am I supposed to do when 5pm rolls around? Have a glass of water?

Sleep in Style: Amenity's New Muir Furniture Collection

It somehow seems entirely possible that my dreams would be more fabulous if I slept in one of Amenity's new Muir furniture collection beds. I'd be so cool in my sleep. So, so cool. Plus, when I woke up and realized I wasn't actually that cool, I'd have all this extra storage as a consolation prize.
Fine print: The furniture is made from wood collected from demolition sites in LA, manufactured nearby, and finished with low-VOC, water-based stains.

Happy Friday! Xo, Finley (and her Hanna Anderssons)

That's a wrap on Finley's nursery tour! Thanks so much for taking a peek.

Here's Fi wishing you all a very happy Friday. She's chillin' in her 100% organic cotton Hanna Andersson outfit, courtesy of a friend who introduced us to the awesome brand.
