Cool Coffee Sleeves

You already own a hoodie for your i-phone and a mini-suit for your MP3. Why not play dress up with your favorite cup of Joe?

Besides, those little paper sleeves are wasteful!

You can protect your hands in style with these striking, reusable coffee sleeves handmade by Brooklyn resident, Kim Booth, like my Dia de Los Muertos-inspired sleeve (pictured).

Her coffee sleeves and other accoutrements are available at her website: http://www.doeandmouse.com/

If only she'd make a thong for my salad tongs...
