My friend Brandi, from Catie’s Blue, is sponsoring another Color Palette Blog Walk, from February 28th through March 4th. Participants will be  blogging and creating new color palettes around things that inspire each of us. If you are like me, and love color too, you can follow along with the fun, as well as discover some new fabulous artisan blogs.

Have you discovered the Daily Grommet?

Feb
2 Comments »   Posted by Kristy |  Category:A Shiny Life

I did.. or more accurately, they found me on Twitter.

Their site profile says “Fresh Finds, True Stories. We’re a daily product discovery site featuring products of great utility, style or invention that haven’t hit the bigtime yet.”

Sounds kind of interesting.


Note: If you finding this in your reader, there is a widget in this post above this sentence you should be able to see. If you can’t, you can see it on the blog post on my blog.

You can check them out at Daily Grommet
