Holiday Gift Guide Pt 2 For the Decorator in Your Life

I LOVE finding things to add interest to my home. We purchased our home a year ago and are just now looking in to making it more 'our home'! So this blog post is a bit selfish as it is a gift guide...but I'm looking for me too!!!

My first find comes all the way from Kuala Lumpur and a shop by the name of Blank Canvas Designs! I'm a huge fan of the latest craze of wall decals! It is a VERY cost effective way to add interest to any room! Not very often you can get a piece of wall art for these prices!


The next item I have found would be perfect for the cook in your life! Its a beautiful stoneware piece from a shop in Arizona called Just Mare. Stop by and spend some time going through this shop as there are some fabulous pieces at very affordable prices!


Someone special in your life love to have little nick nacks around the house? Here is an great idea! With people being so concious about the environment, these are a fabulous alternative! Pebbles made of felt and they are so realistic! I love them! Much better for my son to throw on the hardwood floor than the real things! Coming from Seattle, a store called Kneek.


Shopping for the child who has everything and more? Or perhaps just someone who is a true kid at heart! I have loved this artists creations for some time and am excited to share their shop with you! Hailing from Michigan, Two Left Hands Creations are fascinating!


I find glass to be a fantastic medium and I admire those who have been so fortunate to learn the craft! The next shop I am featuring has created the most amazing fused glass pieces! The colors she has blended are beautiful and they would make a fantastic gift for just about anyone! These pieces are created in Oregon in a shop called Margie McNutt


That's it for now! I hope you have all enjoyed my picks for this installment of my holiday gift guide! Love for you to leave your comments and don't forget to enter my latest giveaway!!!

Started Your Holiday Shopping Yet?!

Well, I haven't exactly started to shop yet, but the radar is up and I'm looking! I have 3 gorgeous nieces, a nephew and my beautiful 19 month old boy. I love to spoil them all and one of my big thrills is to find them the cutest clothes! So I thought I'd turn to Etsy and see what I could find in Christmas themed Childrens clothing! So here we go!!!

Although I don't have any newborns I will be buying for this year, I couldn't pass up this little outfit! It comes from Jewelry and Baby Bling by Dara's shop.

I wish I'd seen this last year when my guy was little!




This next little outfit can be found in DressReHERSal's shop! Make sure you take a good look through her entire shop as she has created some real gems!!! I can see both of my little nieces in this outfit!!!

These next outfits speaks 'good times' and 'holiday cheer'! I think they are absolutely adorable and what fashion forward little girl wouldn't want to be seen in these!!! They have been created by 3lpcouture.

The details on this next outfit are so adorable!! I can see my little niece Jada wearing this to her Christmas concert! This outfit comes from mydeepbluec. Make sure you have a good look through this shop cuz there is some really FUNKY stuff!! Love it!


And finally, one outfit I can see my son and his youngest cousin wearing...although I think they would have to trade off regularly!!!! This has been created by TadpolesandTutus! Gotta love that shop name!
So there are a few of the cute childrens clothing for Christmas that I have stumbled upon! I hope you will all have a look through these wonderful artists shops! Leave your comments...and if you have childrens clothing items, leave the link in your comment!! Happy shopping everyone!

October SALE Announcement

The HOLIDAYS are quickly approaching! I've been very busy this past week adding new listings to my Etsy shop! I invite you to pop on over to my shop and view the new sets and gift tags that I have been adding!

My most recent listing, and one of the funnest I have done in a while is inspired by those famed gals from Sex in the City! I thought these cards would be perfect to send to your girlfriends to get them all primed up for their holiday shopping!! These cards can even be special ordered as invitations, etc! Just let me know if you are interested! Color combinations can be changed!

I have been playing a lot with non traditional holiday colors as well! Probably most evident in my newly listed "Believe" holiday cards. The pinks and blues add a whimsical twist to the season. What do you think?!


But I couldn't let the traditionalist in my stay asleep! Well...perhaps I am still a bit groggy! As many of you know, I love to add silk flowers on my cards. I came up with this card and gave it a very elegant twist! I think it is very well priced and I hope to see it do very well this season!

Along with my cards, I have been busy creating gift tags! They are lots of fun to make and one can never have too many on hand! They are so much more fun than the standard 'ol ones you buy at WalMart! All of my gift tags are available in a multitude of color combinations and sizes! Here are a few of my latest!


So now that I have showed off all my new creations, I'm happy to announce my OCTOBER SALE!!! With each holiday gift card set purchased, you will receive a 6 pack of gift tags with your order! How fantastic is that! So spread the word and the holiday cheer early!!! Remember, I am still taking custom orders!

Talk to you all soon! Leave some comments...i LOVE to hear them!
