I always admire the Gocco screen-printed items at sarahparott825’s shop. I adore Daffodils and think this is a lovely Easter card.

It is no secret that I love birds. I think this bird pendant by howlindoggie is beautiful. There are two different bird pendants in the shop and I tossed a coin to decide which to highlight.

I think this apple ring is neat. Created by Ash Hilton and featured along with numerous other beautiful jewelry in his shop. It is different than anything I have seen in a while.

Anniversary Gifts

I am starting to feel better from my episode of the death flu that has been running around town. During the past two weeks, I haven’t really paid close attention to the calendar. I was looking at it last night and all I could think was, “Crap, my anniversary is next week. Crap, my sister’s birthday is next week. Crap, my niece’s birthday is next week. Crap. Crap. Crap.” Well today, the shit only got deeper as I frantically searched for gifts. My sister is easy. She asked for Clinique Happy perfume. Done. My niece has decided Hello Kitty is a religion. I bought her a ~~jewelry box~~ messenger bag, sunglasses, earrings, tissues, and an eraser set dedicated to her false idol. Done. I hit a wall with my husband. It is our 8th wedding anniversary. You are suppose to give bronze, linen, lace, appliances, or a trip to a casino. I don’t know who came up with this but its pure crap and only serves to stress me out because I can never find an appropriate gift to go with the theme. I decided to scrap the tradition and think what would make my husband happy. My first thought was a New Zealand All Blacks Rugby jersey. Of course the jersey, in the size I need, is back ordered. The only other clothing item he has requested is a tee-shirt that says, “I support single mothers.” It has a picture of a woman dancing on a pole. I am tempted but it just seems wrong. Then I discovered that Eddie Izzard is performing in NYC next week. Great! Perfect! All the tickets through Ticketmaster are gone. I am frantically back to the drawing board. Any ideas????

***If you don’t know who Eddie Izzard is, then watch the video below. He is not everyone’s cup of tea but we love his routines!

I adore this bracelet by Bijoutiful. Copper blooms on a sterling silver cuff. I love that she is inspired by nature and uses a lot of copper and sterling silver in her designs! If you need to earn some points with a woman in your life, consider this bracelet!

I like to make homemade goods and to give them as gifts. I really like these gift tags by Littlebeane Boutique. They have quite a selection and offer labels for a variety of purposes. This is a great gift for the baker, cook, or chef in your life.

Funky Little Kids Clothing Company makes some of the cutest little girl tee-shirts and tutus for girls! I have four nieces and this tee-shirt captures the essence of their personalities. Great gift for little girls!

This is my Valentine from my husband. He remembered that I loved this Chickadee bird vase by Three Potato Four. My husband rocks and I love him bunches.
