i adore: sweet shops.

Well, the calendar says it's Tuesday but it feels like it should be Thursday to me. Anyone? We're also in another 105+ degree week. My favorite. Sooo I'm countering the heat with a little cool. Cool shops, that is. These are some of my current favorites. 

1. Hand in Hand Soap (above): They're a brand new company, and every time you buy one of their bars of soap, they donate a bar to help save the lives of the millions around the world who are at risk for water-related deaths. They're website explains that 45% of water-related deaths around the world could have been prevented by handwashing, hence the soap. On top of that, they're eco-friendly, bio-degradable and carbon neutral. Awesome.

2. Aedrial Originals (below): This sweet Etsy shop has the cutest handmade plates. Every piece is hand-painted, and I especially love the birthday plates. 

3. Pretties by Meg (below): I ordered two pieces from Meg last month (this and these) and I LOVE them. Her jewelry has beautiful colors and textures. Right now, I'm loving these mocha earrings

4. Terrain (below): Does Terrain ever get old? Not to me. I love these gingham plates and all things buzz buzz

What shops are you loving this week?

xoxo.
