  3. able mable - my favorite shop that I have visited tonight, the gorgeous lovies, cute little bird bibs, but I think my favorite is the two owls single light switch cover as it would coordinate nicely with some vinyl wall art we picked up last week.

  17. This year the family and I are doing gift exchange BUT the gifts have to be handmade! It's so weird to me because I recently "got into" handmade items and Etsy and now my fam decides they want to make handmade gifts this year?Weird how this world works....it's gonna bring a whole lotta happiness and laughter to this family once Christmas comes and everyone opens up their handmade gifts cause let's face it....some of those gifts ain't gonna be pretty lol, just kidding.

  27. I love fluur's leg warmer's baby size - they are wool and hand dyed and beautiful just what we need here in this household our cotton babylegs just aren't warm enough for this winter weather (only concern is that from the photos these are sized to fit a baby doll and my 14mth old certainly has bigger legs than that - lol)

  99. I hate entering these things [the hope of winning and waiting kills me], but I would like to say that Crow and Iris makes the most beautiful jewelry. I ran into her at a local art show and was so impressed with her designs that I hung out and talked to her for like an hour. She's an amazing person, artist AND photographer. You'd be lucky to get one of her pieces. Good luck all!
