Crafty Mc-Crafterson

I bought this beautiful, floral top from Stacey's shop and unfortunately it just didn't fit right. Everything else I've purchased was spot on, but with this I couldn't make it work. So, I decided to do something else with it... besides wear it, I mean.
Aspen took an unheard of THREE HOUR NAP so I made my shirt into a rossette bib necklace. I couldn't believe she slept the entire time I hot-glued, rolled and pinched strips of fabric into roses. And then I had time to twiddle my thumbs and drink a Mtn Dew!

I'm so proud of both of us; Aspen for enjoying a real nap, and me for doing something productive.

Vactionland

The Maine state tree is an evergreen, so this is yet another trinket that makes me think of home.

My favorite part of this charm is definitely the star. It's the finishing touch this little tree needed.

Isn't it sweet?

Fifty nifty U-nited States!

AlterDesigns knows that it's possible to have love for more than one state. This is especially useful for me because I feel I have two "home" states. I was born and raised in Maine, but have spent just as much time living in Utah as well.


This Etsy shop offers TWO state charms on one necklace for only $23. You can pick silver or gold to further personalize your choices. If I had one of these necklaces, I'd have one of the most squiggly states juxtaposed against one of the most square states.

Sex and the City inspired jewelry

Now that I've finally seen the movie (thanks KSL for showing an edited version!) I can appreciate this necklace even more.

How amazing is this necklace?!

There are real teeny tiny words on that little piece of paper. I adore the details!

Could this possibly be any more fabulous?

If only I had her tanline.

I love that this is a heavier-weight necklace that fits close to the collarbone. It could easily dress up a plain, white tee with shorts, or be the final touch on a dressier outfit.

Hooters and pearls.

Is there anything better than a fat bird or owl? I think not. With spring time upon the Pink House, I get to enjoyt he chirps and tweets of all the birds who have returned. I haven't encountered any owls though... except for the fake one sitting in my neighbor's yard.

This tubby little guy is definitely less unsettling to run into first thing in the morning.

On a much-less subtle note, I also love this pearl necklace.

I'm a winner.

Jess and I have each hosted a number of giveaways on our blogs.

And we keep winning them. Meaning, she wins mine and I win hers. It must be some kind of conspiracy.

Recently, I became the proud new owner of this beautiful antique key necklace that Jess made.

She has others options available in her Etsy shop, so if you're dying to have a vintage key necklace, you can easily find one without any hassle. The thing I love about his key is that the purple side is rich in color, while the back is in its original state. It's an awesome contrast.

I hear she may consider doing custom orders for lap top covers too. Just look at the one she made for a friend and tell me that isn't amazing!

I can't seem to stop myself

Kev and I only got 2 Trick-or-Treaters this Halloween, so I had plenty of time to make some more gems for my shop.

I'm receieved some wonderful suggestions and feedback about the new additions, and I can't thank you all enough. It's my pleasure to keep coming up with unique necklaces for all of you!

The one, the only!

Miss Jess, help yourself to any item in my shop and I'll refund 50% of the total to you!

Look for more discounts/giveaways in the future :) I have all sorts of creations up my sleeves.

Just for girls

Justagirl27 contacted me via Twitter one day and I decided to look at her etsy shop. It was a bad idea. I am delighted with almost everything she has to offer.

A sampling, if I may.

Pink Ice earrings $12.00

Charming

Greater Yesterday is another lovely Etsy shop I've fallen hard for. It has delightful necklaces and earrings (I don't have pierced ears but I still love them).

Some of my favs:









Are you in love as well?

Why pay more when you can pay less?

There's a Banana Republic outlet in my hometown of Freeport. That's usually the only time I shop BP. If you haven't noticed, it's fairly expensive. Good quality (usually) but expensive.

When I visit Freeport I always stop by the BP outlet for a fragrance or clearance-priced skirt. There's an outlet in Park City that I hope to check out soon too.

I got an email from BP and decided to browse their site. I found this beautiful bib necklace and although I didn't find an exact match at Forever21, I found a few less expensive necklaces that I think are comparable in effect.

Banana Republic Glam bib necklace $69



Forever21 Round cluster beads $8.80



Forever21 Antique beaded necklace $5.80


Forever21 Triple strand leaf necklace $10.80


It just goes to show that with a little time, you can easily find alternatives to items you initially fall for in higher-end stores.

I promise.
