Handpainted Vespa T-Shirt

Not the slick, seafoam Vespa scooter, this one has the watercolor, crackled quality prized by those who refuse to wear reproduction concert tees.

Original art deserves a tailored jacket and dark denim.

$25

Cuttlefish Ring

Apparently cuttlefish casting is casting a metal in a mold made of the backbone of a squid which has been sanded and fitted together in a fascinating manner.

The pattern reminds me of little shells lying on a wave-soaked stretch of sand.

$90

I don't often have the chance to express my deep belief that every girl should have her own corkscrew, but I have experienced the frustration of standing in front of a bottle of wine and being unable to open it due to the absence of a single simple tool.
And while I'm no fan of girly hammer/screwdriver sets marketed in frosted pink packaging, I do happen to like this wine opener.
Ten percent goes to women's cancer education, outreach, and research.
Farbrengen, finals, or Simchas Torah. $44
