So, I had a revelation this morning - I love being a grown up! For a short while.. about a few years to be exact (haha) I felt like being an adult was all about burdens and bills. Having been able to spend this week cooking and having it finally over, I realize the relief I'm feeling. That relief comes along with my excitement about getting to make new art, find new art, and share with new and fun people. I know this isn't some amazing discovery to everyone else out there, but I just wanted to share the happiness I'm feeling today. And here are some things that are inspiring me along with it. . .

Turkey Hangover... Still

My first Thanksgiving went off without a hitch. I made a turkey that looked quite similar to the one pictured above and I am very proud! I'd like to thank Martha, first and foremost, because if I hadn't seen her Thanksgiving special.. I would have had no idea to cover that bird in butter and wine soaked cheesecloth the first three hours of cooking! (Yes... butter makes everything better!) It made all the difference! Let me tell you! And, I am also so thankful that I have such a wonderful family who all get along. It was a great day and I'm so glad I got to host for my very first time!

Now, onto what you've been waiting for... SALES! I know we didn't do a whole Black Friday thing, just merely because we're not about that here. If you have been reading this blog diligently, you may remember a day in October when there happened to be a Secret Sale... and that is exactly what you're going to get right now!!! Well, several Secret Sales before this weekend is over, so you never know what to expect!

Today until Midnight EST - Enter Code CRANBERRY at checkout and receive $20 off any order over $85 !!

Go Shop!

:)
Hope everyone had a happy holiday here in the states!

Oh no!

Yea... you guys think I spilled my hot cocoa. Well, I didn't. Just havin a good laugh - blog style. This is a *fake* spilled hot cocoa that I just found on the Etsy front page. I'm sorry. The kid in me had to share ; ) haha

Fake Food Decor has a whole bunch of faux food for your enjoyment. Go play a prank on someone this holiday season!

(*Please note that it is 1:30 am here in NJ and I should probably not be posting silly things like this while I'm delirious hehe)

Silly Men

Reindeer - Sharon Montrose

I was talking to my boyfriend the other night about blogs and why we (women) read them. It was a tough thing to explain. Even though he is a very romantic, imaginative poet, sometimes I feel like there are still traces of little girl in me that he can't relate to. I realized that a lot of the reading I do of the blogs I follow, is simply to be inspired by the beautiful imagery and ideas there are out there. What do you think? Do you follow the blogs you follow just so you can find beauty every day? What do you use your new found treasures for? I wanna hear it, so I can report back to him and let him know that we are just a bunch of dreamy girls who love pretty things and we don't need any more reason than that to do what we do!

People are talking!

We have been getting some pretty great press mentions lately! Hop on over to our Press page to see what lovely things people have been saying about Fey Handmade! :)

I really want to thank everyone who has written so kindly about my little shop in the past few months. It is really amazing to know that what I'm doing is being so well received. I really take a lot of pride and find so much joy in bringing these pretty handmade finds to everyone that wants to share in the world of Fey Handmade!

Thank you!!

So much to do! So little time!

We have so, so many new things in the shop and it feels like the holiday season is already sweeping me up in it's big fuzzy, sparkly whirlwind!  I'm so busy right now that I don't even have time to type anything besides this short little blurb! I'll leave you with some beautiful new products to drool over :)

If you can dream and not make dreams your master...

Amy Blackwell prints are coming to the shop today! Keep your eyes peeled for the new prints and stationery that should be up any minute now! I love this one of a cat/dog just resting ^ - ^ It makes me happy. (and the title of this post is a Joni Mitchell song that I am enjoying at this moment while I work!!)

Overload

Quiet Stripes - Nancy Bossert

This week/weekend has been a wonderful, but crazy one! We were featured on Sweetspot on Thursday, and the shop site is basically cleaned out! Almost every one of a kind item is gone and we've had so many orders for our regular inventory items that I had to come up with a major system to deal with the amount of organization that needed to be done to orchestrate this much at once! I still haven't counted how many individual orders came in, but it was somewhere between 30 and 40 (in 24 hours!) It was an amazing response and I can only hope that the lovely team at Sweetspot will want to feature us again soon :)

We are also going to be welcoming about 15 new designers in the coming week, so stay tuned for some exciting additions to our shop! Lots of new art and some amazing fashions to be exact on what to expect. I cannot wait to get everything up for you to enjoy! Here's a sneak peek at what's to come!

Gabrielle Kai Photographic Prints

Lemon Grove Jewelry

Sushi Pie Hats & Hair Accessories

Now, tell me you're not excited about all this handmade, lovely goodness that's about to come to Fey Handmade! Can't wait! Bear with me while everything gets back to normal working order around here, now that the Canadians of Sweetspot have propelled this little company into hyper drive! haha

Talk to you soon!!
