It is the holiday season and I am on the daunting task of trying to find the perfect Christmas card. I have such a hard time deciding between something classically old school and a modern, trendy design. Here are just a few of my current favorites from the always awesome Macaroni and Glue. Decisions, decisions,,,,
Check out this beautifully handcrafted stocking I found by chance. It was in an Etsy contest where you could vote for your favorite stocking and it won!!! It is gorgeous -as are all of the stockings from Ahna Holder. Get one now before she sells out- and I know she will!

These earrings by BeijoFlorare making me dizzy with love! The perfect for any sweet tooth or any outfit. Hot pink druzies accompanied by real diamonds in the rough. I have seen these rough diamonds in a few pieces and I just love the thought of having a diamond that isn't "showy". Such a perfect combination.
She also has a stunning shop that features REAL preserved flowers.
I featured BeijoFlorin a recent treasury that made the front page of Etsy. When I found her work I knew I had a winner! Right now she is offering a GREAT deal of buy one get one free- check it out.
Also you can find her at http://www.braziliandesigns.com/

Do you love finding that perfect treasure that is that great mix of 1 part vintage, 2 parts modern with a huge helping of stylish sprinkled on top? Take a look at some of these super cute goodies I found in a shop by the name of SweetLittle. I just adore it!!
SweetLittle goodies indeed!
There is always something different every time I visit this shop. It is like rummaging around the coolest revolving estate sale without having to go through piles of unmentionables to find the treasures. The work is already done for you. No musty smells, no digging, no elbowing someone out of your way for that perfect vintage find. It is a win-win.
Take a peek at this recently listed Lilly Pulitzer Multicolor Floral Lace Trim Shift Dress.
You need this!

The Girlie Show (that I was chosen to be an artist in) was given a nod in the New York Times!!! I am soooo excited. Couldn't be more awesome.
If you were ever in need of some kick ass graphic design, I'd say "talk to Ben Moss". If you were ever in need to commission an original piece of artwork for that glaringly empty wall in your otherwise stylishly designed home, I'd say- Ben Moss is your guy. If you even needed someone to design a banner ad for your Etsy shop, that was different from the rest, used your favorite shade of hot pink, had a liberal dose of your favorite swirly shape but also showed your unique personality and super chic style I'd say -that is a tall order, but would be a snap (an affordable one too!) for Ben Moss. Really, he is that good.
Take a look at his multiple talents.
A sample of the most awesome banner ever!

Here is one of my absolute favorite paintings, ever.
He has even worked on this uber edgy clothing line
Here is his official website www.squoog.com
You will be amazed at the vast number of abilities located within this one human being.

Ok, here it is. My wish to be part of the hippest, most awesome, all female artist show. There is just one thing, it is juried. Cross your fingers and toes for me!!! Check it out.
And I likey him!! I have the biggest crush on this little guy. After all he has hot pink, hearts and a glass of something bubbly- what is not to love! Such sweet, fun and always fabulous designs from Shannon at Bijoujuju. There are so many stylish things in her shop it was hard to pick which to share with you guys!
Here are a few from my personal collection:
Bijoujuju not only has fabulous designs but her product descriptions are so funny and entertaining, I have laughed until I practically wet myself reading them (Depends anyone?)!
Honestly- this is one talented, creative, smart and witty jewelry designer. Be sure to check this shop out!
3 words to describe Bijoujuju's style: Striking, Dashing and Smart
I love this sweet necklace from KFARRELL (a fellow Twitter)! I love looking up everyones crafty goodies after reading their witty repartee on Twitter. This beautiful necklace is both very pretty and functional. She has designed this necklace with a felt insert that you can put aromatherapy/perfume/ essential oil on it. Brilliant!!

I had a terrible case of insomnia the other night! It wound up being a great thing because I got tons of work done. I also saw this beautiful front page mosaic created by Artish. It is a shame not too many others had a chance to see it- it was up at about 4am - but I saw it and loved it!!
