In keeping with my gift hunting theme, I found these beautifully done cosmetic bags and a bright red clutch from Sidney Ann. I myself LOVE all things red so had to include the clutch! Who doesn’t need a red clutch in the winter? Anyway…the cosmetic bags are a favorite of mine too…not only are they cute on the outside, but on the inside too thanks to Sidney’s attention to detail!

“Floral cosmetic bag – large” $24

I love me some romantic and beautiful photography…so when I came across these prints by House of Six Cats on Etsy, I felt the need to share them! They come in a set of 3 images as 5×5 inch prints. They would look perfect on the wall in your little girl’s room, or in your craft room or office for inspiration. Nature at it’s finest! I also dig the vintage feel they have. I am sure if you asked he’d even make some cards for you…they would make a lovely set of cards!

I am excited to be posting on my new blog, and I chose some larger than life jewelry for this momentous occasion! I was browsing around my favorite place again and came across these intricate and delicate yet colossal pieces by kjoo. I was struck by the use of color, and the details as well as the sheer size of the pieces. You are sure you get noticed with one of these bad boys on! Each of her pieces are one of a kind and are numbered. No two will ever be made the same! Here is my pick below!

Special number -80 – Necklace $122.00
