Loretta Lux
Loretta Lux makes slightly magic portraits of children by combining painting, photography, and digital images. Her work makes me feel quiet, like one of the photos is about to whisper something to me. Lovely.

Candy Raindrops Bracelet
So fun! Seana Scott designed this cheerful glass and silver bracelet made of African wedding beads. I think it would make a happy and thoughtful gift from a groom to his bride, but it’s an equally good present to yourself. You’ll want to shake your wrists to make it rattle.

Stainless Steel Touchless Trashcan
Does your current trash can have an infrared smart-chip? I thought not. This one uses four D-sized batteries to open and close on its own, reducing odors and the spread of germs. Also, it looks a lot cooler than that plastic thing from Target. No word on when they’ll have one that takes the trash out for you. Thanks for the tip, Joy!
