The link for the plane print eye mask takes you to the handmade wallets at fred flare. Can you tell me where the eye mask is from?

I’m not sure I understand the “ceramic diamond ring”… even though I really like it!

Also love the button coasters (too cute) and the sakurasaku glass!

Love the Italian kitchen towels. I want every color! It certainly makes doing the dishes a little more exciting!

Why would anyone *want* to leave a water ring on a table?

maybe not a table, but a placemat, tablecloth or paper would be fine. or a napkin.

The shopping cart notepad is sold out and was a limited edition so there won’t be any more. So sad.
