Guest Post: Kelly from Design Crush

Kelly was one of the first people I "met" in the blog world. She ran a giveaway of my note cards waaay back when and we've kept in touch pretty much ever since (thanks, Twitter.) Through new logos, new layouts, and various hair cuts, I've watched Kelly's blog morph and grow into the amazing-ness it is today and have loved every second of it. She always finds the coolest things! So if you haven't checked out Design Crush yet, make sure you do that asap. (fyi- Kelly posts all day long whenever she finds inspiration so feel free to check more than once a day.) Thanks for stopping by Kelly!

Craving: glass and wood containers

merchant no. 4 containers via design crush

I'm very particular when it comes to containers. And by particular I mean that I will almost always buy the product in the "pretty" container as opposed to any product in an overly designed or busy package. And when that isn't possible (sometimes even the prettiest containers hold not so pretty products,) I either hide the container under the sink (there aren't many options when it comes to comet etc.) or swap it into something prettier. Me neurotic? Never.

So when I saw these over on Design Crush I knew they were right up my alley. I would love a pantry full of these lovelies. Glass and wood- a perfect combination.
