Tired of seeing imported water from the other side of the world grace the tables of Australian restaurants and cafes, the founders of Daylesford and Hepburn Mineral Springs Co decided to act. Today, the team bottles and distributes water from the heart of Melbourne’s mineral springs capital. Not only are their products natural, sustainable, and local, with bottling and packaging just 100 kilometers from the source, but they’re stylish too. Their line of sparkling fresh fruit mineral waters showcase retro-labels that are brightly illustrated with sweet colors that match their equally scrumptious contents. Daylesford and Hepburn Mineral Springs Co are growing a dedicated following as Melbournians, Victorians, and Australians go for their beautiful local goods.

Beijing-based band Hanggai write original songs in the traditional folk styles of their Mongolian ancestors — throat-singing, horsehair fiddles, lutes — spearheading an Asian version of the old-time revival. Though it’s only through the digital age that the rest of the world can access this beautiful music, it makes you want to slow down and reflect on what we’ve lost as a species. This stuff makes every flavor of the month indie band seem vapid and meaningless.
I’ve posted about New Orleans artist Ryn Wilson before, but I also wanted to plug her awesome clothing line, Altar. Nothing’s up at her Etsy shop right now, but keep checking back. Read more

Artist Stephanie Simek has created a sweet (literally) line of jewelry: wearable confections made from crystallized sugar, preserved in plastic, and suspended on precious metal.
