#1 – Swedish Dishcloths
This set of Swedish Dishcloths is simply ah-maze-ing!!!! Seriously. You need this set.
Okay, okay. It was the colors and patterns that drew me to this set when I first spotted them. But then I read about them and thought they sounded cool. I had to buy them and put them to the test. I’ve had mine now for several days, and my entire family loves them. My husband even wants a set of his own for his boat!
These are not your Mother’s dishcloths. They are made in Sweden and are made of 70% Cellulose and 30% Cotton. The dishcloths are 100% biodegradable and compostable. You can use them in place of paper towels or sponges and they can be used over and over and over and over again. You can even wash them in your dishwasher or washing machine! They are ultra absorbent. I’ve been using them in the kitchen to wash dishes, clean countertops, and clean up after dinner. I’ve also used them in the bathroom for cleaning vanities, and for dusting throughout the house. I also like using them on our patio to wipe down patio furniture after a rain. The really cool thing is the fact that they dry so quickly! I know. You could use a fabric washcloth in the kitchen and hang them to dry. BUT, they do not dry as quickly as these Swedish dishcloths! Because these dry so quickly, there is no lingering odor. These dishcloths are made to last for months of use, and can be composted at the end of their life cycle.
I seriously recommend you give these affordable dishcloths a try – I know you won’t be disappointed!
#2 – Electric Candle Lighter
We burn a lot of scented candles in our house, on our patio’s, around our pool, and at the firepit. This means either we need a lot of matches or butane lighters. But… I just discovered this electric candle lighter, and it’s the coolest thing since stick matches!
The lighter recharges with a USB cord. Once it’s charged, it holds a charge for a long time. You push the slider to extend the end of the lighter, then push the ignition button and you have the most awesome lighter for candles. This lighter even works in windy conditions. It’s sleek and modern looking, so you can keep it on a coffee table with your candles – it sure looks better than a box of matches! And it’s much more reliable than a butane lighter. Give it a try!
#3 – Garden Obelisk
This obelisk is actually not new to me. I bought three of these about 15 years ago from this company, and am still using them. I recently bought several new vining plants and was thinking about getting another obelisk. I was reading an email from this company, and this obelisk was one of the products they were promoting – what timing, eh?
This obelisk is very sturdy, made to last (and has) and works very well for plants.
Just push the obelisk into a pot, add your vining/climbing plant, and you have an awesome looking display for outdoors or inside. I can’t recommend this obelisk enough!

You can find product links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.
NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found. I enjoy sharing these fun finds with you, and hope you find them interesting, too!
