The Tutu Project is by a “friend of a friend” and its wonderful. I could go into detail, but click on the image to learn more. Its more fun that way and besides, I know you’re intrigued. You can see more images (in urban settings and non urban settings) and even donate to the cause and receive a print by the artist. You’ll see what I mean by “a better ‘pink’.”
Love unique jewelry but desire something made of real metals? Something to withstand the banging around from day to day? Then you need contemporary jewelry by Taos artist Maria Samora.

Her unique stylings will be all anyone can talk about when they see her work. Not only is she immensely visionary- this lady can execute- and she’s an all around lovely person. Once you own something by Maria- you’re hooked. She also does items for men and unisex items. This girl has about 6 items. What’s not to love? I’ll take one of everything.
Make the urban life easy!

In need of an alternative to a “power” or “meal” bar? Enter, Chocolatl bars. While not available locally here in Phoenix (mostly in California and Hawaii now) these little bars are delicious and relatively healthy. They are the sophisticated choice for the urbanite in search of an on the go pick-me-up. Raw cocoa, gluten free and low glycemic- folks are flocking to buy these amazing bars!

This weekend is the bi-annual plant sale at the Desert Botanical Garden here in Phoenix! Your city’s Botanical Garden is a great place to pick up plants for the home that have a better start than those you might find at a chain like Home Depot.
My favorite plants for the urban home are succulents. Low maintenance, dramatic, hard to kill and strong lined design– these babies are perfect on a balcony or in a pot in the kitchen.
Pick some plants up this weekend or at the sale the first weekend in April!
This book by Debra Lee Baldwin great inspiration for small space or grand patios.
