if I had $100 or so

1. fun kite mug
2. custom map keychain (harrisonburg is in the middle one!!)
3. oh but this "i love you more" keychain is so sweet! (the harry potter ones would make a great gift to a fan)
4. drooling over this herringbone shoulder bag... and every other bag in this shop.
5. this feminine leather bracelet would look amazing paired w/ jeans and an oxford shirt

If I had $20...oh wait, I do

I would buy (and did) this laundry bag from Crate&Barrel.

I've been eyeing this bag for at least two months and finally ordered it yesterday. Right now I use a big plastic basket that works fine, but I hate sorting whites and darks on the floor. No matter how often we vacuum, dog hair inevitably gets on the dirty clothes and doesn't always disappear into the lint trap. Plus, the bag got fab reviews and I love the playful design. Reviewers said the front pocket held plenty, so I plan to use it for tops that require special care (I usually only have one or two of those per load, so they should fit). Anything to make laundry a little more fun is welcome in my house!

If I had $25-40

I would buy a necklace from Imani, a line of jewelry made by women in northern Uganda who left prostitution and are seeking healing and help from Zion Project, a non-profit for women in children in northern Uganda.

I wrote a story about Sarita Hartz Hendricksen, the founder of Zion Project, for Rocktown Weekly. Read it here.

I really like the Maisha necklace, but they're all stunning. Maybe I'll put up a pic of me wearing an Imani necklace once it comes in! (yup, I do plan on buying one)

if I had $15

If I had $15...
I would purchase these key plates from West Elm.
I'd keep one for myself and give three away.
Instead of using them for food I would use them as a catch-all for keys and change (like the one in the top left corner). They're the perfect size for an entry table and would look super cute on top of a stack of books or next to a potted plant.

If I had $18

I'd buy a green bento box from black + blum.

I love taking my lunch to work. I keep a mug, tea bags, a bowl, oatmeal packets, napkins, and plastic forks and spoons in my drawer. I haven't decorated my desk yet, but I've made sure I can eat! Priorities, people.

sorry for the terrible picture quality!!
