CUSTOM PENDANT NECKLACE $89

Rather than me describing these awesome, custom silhouette necklaces, read below from the jewelry maker herself and click here for more details.  

All I need is a profile photo. Your sweetheart, child, grandchild, dog, cat, horse or even bird's silhouette will be carefully hand cut by me, reduced to size by computer and then lovingly turned into a beautiful keepsake pendant.

I use vintage and antique rings to frame the silhouette. Most are aged brass, please let me know if you have a nickel allergy and I will help you choose the appropriate ring. Your loved one is protected by a thin layer of non-toxic resin. The back of the pendant is covered with decorative paper. I like use italian hand-marbled papers and prints, antique sheet music, and foreign language book pages. I can include any text you would like for an extra $10.

I am so screwed!  Christmas is bearing down on me and I am sooooo behind.  I mean, scary behind.  Like I need a month  and I have a week... YIKES!  So, here i am perusing the net for some inspiration and looking for who can ship to me in time before Santa shows up.
I came across these adorable knitted ornaments and had to share.  Too adorable!

WOOL ACORNS $22

Just too cute to ignore!  These wool acorn ornaments make me smile.  Great for tree decoration or gift wrapping. Buy here from Etsy.  Set of nine acorns.

SAFE RADIO $59.99

Did you ever buy that radio that works in case of black outs, or in emergency situations?  I haven't! But here is your answer!  This is a portable radio that recharges with a hand crank and you can plug your iPhone or MP3 player in to it for some sweet tunes.  Made of bio-plastics derived from bamboo.  Perfect gift!
Buy here from West Elm.
Was $99.

MIDAS GOLDEN CUTLERY $180

I'm becoming more and more warm to the idea of gold (plated) cutlery vs the usual silver.  If you haven't noticed, it's impossible to find good cutlery on the cheap, unless you score some at an estate sale or inherit some from family.  I hate my current cutlery and am always looking to replace my Pottery Barn crappy set, which happens to have been discontinued anyway... grumble.
Buy here from The Conran Shop.
Was $225 for 6 piece set.

I love the pattern of this jute rug from Sundance.  Many times, these natural fiber rugs have a simple and some what loose weave, this one incorporates different gauges and it somehow seems soft and gentle under your feet.

RETRO CANNING SET $8.95

Canning is all the rage now.  With so many people growing their own produce these days, it only makes sense to start storing all that darn food.  Here's a great and groovy way to begin the home-grown trend.  Also, a wonderful gift.

If you can't make it to the sale, there is a 48 hour on line sale, too...

HELEN BEARD CERAMIC BIRD CUPS $180 *WISH LIST*


I've had my bird-loving-eyes on these magnificent hand thrown and hand painted bird cups for so long, they are slowly but surely diminishing and only a few varieties are left.  I posted these because it is the holiday season and you never know what peeks someones fancy, but I am definitely not calling these a "deal".  But as pieces of art and collectibles, they do have a place in my blogging heart.
Buy here from Ashes and Milk.

IKEA DISHTOWEL .49

Forty nine freaking cents!  I picked up a few of these the other day on my annual trip to IKEA.  Now, I wish I had grabbed more, because it just occurred to me that these would make great Christmas napkins, or maybe gift wrap?  Maybe worth an hour drive back to the love of mine, that is IKEA.
Check it here, but not available online :(
