Drinking to Reclamation

constance set - reclamation etchworks variance set - reclamation etchworks

Remember when I posted about these gorgeous, art nouveau-inspired etched bottles? I heard from several of you that the bottles were hard to get your hands on, as inventory was often low in Timothy’s Etsy shop. But good news — thanks to Timothy’s new Kickstarter campaign, you can not only help get his small business off the ground, but also receive your own set of either the Constance or Variance bottles (or both, if you’re feeling crazy).

Here’s what’s up: Timothy, artist and owner of the newly relaunched Reclamation Etchworks, emailed me recently to let me know he had launched a Kickstarter campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to help him raise money so that he can purchase his own laser etching machine, which will help him etch more recycled bottles faster (which means more inventory for lovely potential customers like you!). If you donate $79 or $159 to his Kickstarter, you’ll receive your own Constance bottle set or the Variance bottle set respectively — which, conveniently enough, is the price each set is normally! Helping a new business and also scoring beautiful, decorative bottles for your bar cart? Total win-win.

Timothy has some other ‘donation’ options that include custom etching on your set of four bottles (only $129), or getting a larger set of 8 bottles (for $249). If you’ve had your eye on these beauties, now’s the time to get them. They would make such an amazing gift for a birthday, wedding — anything, really! Orders placed via the Kickstarter will be sent out throughout the summer (be sure to check out all the ways you can support his Kickstarter here, on the right side of the page, and double check which shipment you’re purchasing). I love this concept – it’s like you’re donating to someone’s business idea, but you get something very, very cool out of it. Fun!

This is not a sponsored post. I just love Reclamation’s product, especially since the bottles are recycled, and am excited to help support a local San Francisco start up!

I’ve gotten a few emails from retailers recently about big sales they’re having, and over the weekend, finally had a chance to click through and see what kind of deals are out there. In some cases, they’re pretty incredible! Barney’s Warehouse is having a major sale, with plenty of designer goodies that are total STEALS (like these YSL oxford booties, these Marni platform pumps, or this Helmut Lang blazer). I’ve put myself on a bit of a clothes spending ban, just because we want to put extra money towards decorating our new apartment, but there’s no reason you guys should miss out on the deals!

Late Links

Hello, there! I promise I have not fallen off the face of the earth. Last Friday, I had my blog migrated to a new server, and didn’t want to post anything in case the process wasn’t complete or the domain name hadn’t updated yet. Who knew that when you get into blogging you have to learn about things like nameservers? Not this girl. It always amazes me what I’ve learned just by starting this little ‘ol blog (in fact, the five year anniversary is coming up soon)!

Anyway, now that all the technical stuff is behind us (hopefully!), I did want to share a few links that I had originally intended to post on Friday. I figured this is a good way to ease you into your Monday morning too! Read more »
