    Fabulously fun idea! I am nominating this Receipt/Coupon Holder, made by myself! I am nominating this particular item because I love how it keeps you organized while still looking fashionable. One of many designs, they always make me smile when I take them out of my purse!

    I'm going to nominate one of my own creations: An Organic Herbal Eye Pillow from my shop, Elan Vital Anthology. Based on my own experience, as well as testimonials from my buyers, I would have to say these are definitely lovely and perfect for relaxing after a stressful day - or creating an exceptional nap!

    How about these beautiful hematite and fuchsia pearl earrings from my shop.
    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37960166

    It is said that hematite is a good healing and grounding stone. It strengthens the body and improves resistance to stress...

    ...and these earrings are fun and beautiful!

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=37149150

    They remind me of the wellness of tea! My life would not be complete without tea. I love breakfast tea always, but also take in the greens and herbal teas because they're SO HEALTHY and inspire wellness in our beings!

    These tea prints are the essence of my love for tea. They'd be great little deco's, or bookmarks. They make whoever sees them smile.

    Thank you!

    I'd like to nominate Jennifer Downey's 'Ephemeral' print because the next best thing to physically removing your clothes and surrounding yourself by mother natures wonderment is to have a painting of it in your home for daydreamy escapism purposes. I love her evocative work, it's positively healing.

    My own item for nomination is:
    'I like people who smile when it's raining'
    An illustration to remind people that it's not what happens - it's how you react to it that counts. :)

    hi,
    i nominate my handmade little matryoshka nesting dolls set, hand embroidered with the words "it's what's on the inside that counts". i made them using vintage fabrics and japanese kimono cotton remnants, with organic cotton flannel faces, so they are easy on the earth and on the eyes. they might like to sit on a sofa, a mantel, an office desk, or in a new baby's nursery. they make me smile.

    thanks!

    I'm nominating my Terra Cotta Structure for this event. It was handmade piece by piece in response to nature and growth. The way it was constructed reminds me of a tree trunk, growing upwards and outwards in an organic form. What I love about nature is its unpredictability - you never see two marks, patterns, shapes or forms exactly the same, and it is this particular aspect that my ceramics connects to. This Terra Cotta Structure was decorated in a generous and loving way. How lovely would it feel having it sit in your home or garden to admire or use to hold dried sticks?

It marks the progress in our lives. For such a special book, why not make the outside represent all the beauty found on the inside?

    I'd love to nominate my piece "Olympia" that is a tribute to sports, recreation and athletics. She represents those of us who would never make it to the actual Olympics yet are involved in a variety of wellness activities.

    She's about excelling in our own individual ways, no matter what our personal goals may be, and she hopefully inspires us all to be "winners".

    I would like to nominate:
    GOOD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN coffee mug
    http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=23265524

    Because everyone should have a happy thought along with their coffee and sometimes infusing gratitude into the most modest objects of day to day life has great power.

    Thank You!

    I'm nominating this journal http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39101209 from my shop. I love the thought of what could go into these pages, whether they are memories, or plans, or ideas, or sketches and doodles. I have so many people tell me what they use their journals for, from wedding planning, to writing their childhood memories for their grandchildren, or jotting funny things their grandchildren say.

    And I am nominating my husband's mug http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34513316 because there is nothing better to go with your doodling and journaling than a nice cup of tea or coffee. When you have your own hand thrown mug, for some reason it makes that tea or coffee that much better :)

    I know we will be competing against each other, but that's ok... I promise we'll get along ;P

    <3 & lots of xxx's!
