Etsy Color Story - Aubergine

I'm trying out a new feature here - since I love color so much, and I feel like Etsy is full of it, it's only appropriate to get out my color/Etsy obsession in one place. I like to think of it as a little hue getaway. Today, I present you with - Aubergine! (above: Raceytay + Shop Clementine)

The Bold and the Beautiful - Jewelry

I have to say, I sort of got lost in an internet wonderland when I set out to write today's post. Just a simple search for jewelry - but it began to turn into a scavenger hunt for show stopping pieces somewhere around the moment when I realized the day was almost over any way and I might as well just have a little pretty internet party with myself while browsing for content for my post (haha)! I would definitely wear all of these on my boldest day (and if you know me well, I can get pretty bold if I wanna!) (Above: baltica)

Found - 2mountains

There are only a few lovely hand-painted brooches in 2mountain's new Etsy shop, but I see some serious potential! I came across  Katia Carletti's wondrous creations via my Etsy Activity Feed (which I kinda love, by the way) this afternoon while I was taking a break from my big move. No, I haven't literally moved, but I have bargained with my lovely boyfriend to let me use our extra bedroom for my office! I'm so excited to have my own little workshop for all my musings!

It's been a busy two days, moving things around, and before that, Christmas (and after that - the huge snow storm!) but I'm now back in the swing of things for the new year!  I can't wait to show you all the fun things in store for Fey Handmade! Wait til you see :) :)

Check out 2mountain's Etsy shop to see more pretty little hand-painted brooches.

Restful Finds

I know I should be posting images of sugar plums and gingerbread houses, but I'm just ready to hibernate! All these pretties make me feel very cozy and dreamy - just what I need after all the activity this holiday season! (above from Jeremy Miranda and graphicgrain)

So, so, so much chaos has ensued in my little part of the world - good chaos of course though! I shouldn't even be blogging right now, but I just got a message from Caitlin over at Feather and Webb about my lil calendar being featured in her latest post... and let me tell you... I am in love! I had to share this gorgeously curated site!

(And here we go giant caffeinated tea!)

Go check out Feather and Webb for lots and lots more inspiration! Hope you're all having a fabulous week :)

Hand-painted Delft Brooches and Ornaments - from Harriet Damave

Adorable. As is everything from this sweet little shop. I may be partial, having been to the Netherlands, but you can't deny the cuteness of these pieces!  

Go check out all the blue, folksy, goodness by Harriet Damave.

Pause - And Notice The Pretty

involution

Hello, dear readers! I hope you all had a smashing weekend! Mine was packed with activity and, I have to say, I'm a little worn out from the whole thing! Dinner, drinks, Bob Dylan at Monmouth University... so many fun happenings! 

I'm buzzing around getting ready all the orders that came in over the weekend (and if you're one of the wonderful people who ordered something - Thank You!!!) and I wanted to share some little inspirations that are popping into my browser window today. I just needed a little pause - Hope you enjoy these pretty little finds and pause with me!

Wishlist - Purse Necklace from kikosattic

I adore this and all the necklaces from Akiko of kikosattic. Based in Japan, this artist used to make miniature doll animals and started crafting with leather 5 years ago. Her creations are so unique and very affordable too! (prices for one of her pieces start at $27) This caramel purse necklace is at the top of my wishlist, for sure!

Designed By Jane - Embroidered Brooches

To start off with what caught my attention last night when I was formulating the finishing touches on my new theory of blogging (haha) I give you, Designed By Jane. Such brilliant pieces and such an amazing eye for color!

Prices range between $20-$30, making these beauties very affordable pieces of wearable art. Visit Designed By Jane to view so many more pretties!

More is New! at Fey Handmade

I am absolutely in LOVE with these new pieces that we just got in from Woodland Belle! These little magical rings and necklaces are at the top of my wish list and I am so very excited that Fey Handmade gets to share them with you! Mai McKemy creates each little wonderland by hand and they are so detailed that it is almost unbelievable! It's like having a little garden to yourself! I can't wait to see all the fantastic designs that come from this designer as her business continues to grow! You can buy each of these designs over in the shop - Woodland Belle on Fey Handmade
