Cuppow

Honestly, we're excited about this! Most to-go mugs are a pain—they drip and spill, and they're hard to clean. This is a perfect solution, especially if you've already got a bunch of jars lying around. Cuppow! indeed.

Project Repat

When I donate an old T-shirt to a store like Goodwill or the Salvation Army, I don't actually know where it will go. I just assumed it would end up on a young American hipster. But chances are, it's going to end up in a place like Kenya or Costa Rica! Due to an abundance of donated T-shirts in these countries, Project Repat comes in and buys those T-shirts, re-sells them in America, then donates the profits to charities in those countries. They recently set up a kickstarter campaign to help local artisans make products out of T-shirts. I think it's a really cool and creative project. Who knew T-shirts could make such a difference? - Hazel

Forestbound

By hunting for materials all over New England, Forestbound designer/organic farmer Alice Saunders has managed to create a line of salvaged tote bags almost as interesting as the fabrics they're made from– a stock which includes army duffles, old feed sacks and WWII tents.

Tallahassee "Jealous Hands"

Tallahassee, our favorite band named after a town in Florida that none of them are from, just released their debut album, Jealous Hands, yesterday. As My Old Kentucky Blog said, the album is full of 'moonshine-sippin' murder ballads.' But even if you have no plans to drink illegal alcohol and commit felonious sins, this is one of those albums that's bound to become the soundtrack for something important.

Much like the Local Natives' cover of "Cecilia," Tallahassee's rendition of Paula Abdul's "Straight Up" has become one of our favorite cover songs recorded in a backyard.

Tallahassee

One of our favorite bands, Tallahassee, just released a mini-documentary to kickstart a fundraising campaign to record their next album. Fronted by former NFL lineman Brian Barthelmes, Tallahassee's members are spread across the East Coast, and the film is a portrait of the dedication that drives the band's friendships as much as its music. They're also selling tons of merch, and trust us, after you hear their songs, you're gonna want one of these Tallahassee beard combs.

Churchyard Bone Jewelry

Churchyard's bone jewelry is actually made from the wrists, feet and teeth of real human remains. In an effort to make it less creepy, each pendant has a jewel embedded in it and a guarantee that your new accessory is "one-of-a-kind" upon checkout. Originality aside, we're still going to pass on this one. (Via Refinery29.)

Confessions of a Bookplate Junkie

Confessions of a Bookplate Junkie is exactly what it sounds like: miles and miles of vintage book plates— some of them hand-colored and hand-lettered, all of them exquisite. This is one tradition worth reviving.
