fabulous find

Oh, how I love this from the Pretty Peacock. For all you Jimmy Buffett fans, this one's for you.

Have a special place you want to hold close to your heart? Where you first met? Your first kiss? Where you were married? Where you graduated? Where the kids were born?

Here is a gorgeous way to keep that place close to your heart!

Our 10mm sterling silver band can accommodate one set of coordinates of your choosing (if you need help - just let us know in the Comments area and we will pinpoint the location for you!).

Ok, so I'm in love with this iphone app. I guess it's the designer geek in me, but it's really a great adder to my work day.

Colors can be extracted from any photo on the iPhone and then matched to the closest PANTONE Colors. myPANTONE puts the power of the entire PANTONE Color Library in your pocket, enabling anyone to capture, create and share PANTONE® Color Palettes wherever and whenever they find inspiration.
