Glamour meets Nature
 
Aren't these amazing! The color variety along with the feel and flavor of these wonderful makeup creations are what make Doree of pink quartz minerals, so unique. I am amazed at how many choices there are and each one is vegan and as Doree says Eye-lip-skin and face safe! These are so beautiful and the sparkles are just so much fun. It's a sophisticated and sassy twist. I tried out the Orange Fizz and Dragon Eye shadows and they went on so smooth. Doree offers a wonderful blush and foundation variety too and all of these wonders are made to order so you can choose your own color. The lip balm colors and flavors are a dream come true and you can even mix a couple if you can't choose. How about raspberry chocolate cheesecake in Cherry sky color. Does it get better than that? Yum yum. The list of flavors is unreal as you can't possibly be left unsatisfied. You can tell how creative Doree is by looking at the color selection. Back to that kid in a candy store that I often reference. The Rose Gold shadow is beautiful or if you want to be a little funky try out the blackeye. To order your new beautiful, vegan, affordable look, check out pinkquartzminerals.esty.com. Doree is exceptionally quick in responding to emails and shipping products. What a pleasure!
MMM YUMMY!
Do not try to eat these! These honestly look better than any of the real thing that I have seen. I just stare at them wanting to reach out and taste but no, they are simply eye candy or cupcakes if you will. Jenni of JenniBOriginals, hand makes each amazing creation for decor and function. The cupcakes pictured on the left can be used as tree ornaments or photo holders. How perfect for a first birthday photo, you know the one with baby covered in cake and crying. These are so detailed and fabulous and while I focus on the cupcakes here (my obsession) Jenni makes tons of other amazing faux foods too. Like she says, less calories this way. Thanks to Jenni I am about to rifle through my cabinets for anything sweet! To add these cuties to your collection stop by JenniBOriginals.etsy.com.
C-U-T-E
I'm in love with these belts. I really have not seen anything quite like them and that is probably because they are original designs from mymimi. Mimi of mymimi offers such a great mix of sweet and creative that you can't wait to see what designs she will come up with next. Her young daughter feels the same way as she waits to see the designs at breakfast time that were created overnight. Mimi makes everything from plush toys to jewelry and of course these amazing belts. New designs are coming out all the time so check in often as you don't want to miss out on anything fabulous. Unique fabric, limited quantity and original ideas are important to Mimi and while she will make enough to please her customers, she likes her items to remain a bit original so she doesn’t mass produce them. To get these adorable items check out mymimi.etsy.com. Mimi is super nice and easy to work with so if you have something in mind don't hesitate to ask her.
Where do I even begin! I am officially obsessed with these designs. Timothy Haugen of Fantastic Toys, makes exactly that, FANTASTIC TOYS! Each one is the perfect combination of whimsy and vintage and they are just so incredibly enticing. Tim has such a creative flare and it's no surprise that he has been creating these wonders since he was a child. These are wonderful gifts to give to the young or the young at heart ;) but please note that these are not intended for children under 3 yrs old, as the parts are small enough to choke on if disassembled. Fantastic Toys is currently featuring its Christmas collection which is beyond cute. The same amazing collection with a slight hint of misfit toy spunk. I really can't say enough great things about this line. I immediately go into kid in candy store mode as soon as I look at these creations. Timothy Haugen also has a beautiful line of animal dolls, puppets and paper toys available at handcraftedfantastictoys.com. All the adorable plush toys can be found at FantasticToys.etsy.com.
Blast from the past

Truly Unique and Adorable
 
When I first saw these amazing bow holders, all I could think was that if I ever have a girl this is a definite must have for "her" room. They are so unique and creative that you can barely decide which one to choose. The prices are wonderful too. Trisha at BambinaBallerina.com is not your typical shop owner as she is juggling her booming business and her adorable 2 yr old daughter. She also happens to be extremely generous and takes great pride in the quality of her work. Trisha started creating these bow holders simply to keep her daughters bows in order and now has announced that she has had her busiest month ever. CONGRATS! Speaking of Trisha's generosity, to thank her customers for helping her build her business into what it is, she offered free shipping on orders for several days, so always look out for little specials here and there. Custom holders are available too if you want to choose your own bodice print and skirt color. To buy these beautiful bambina bow holders for your own ballerina or someone else's stop by Bambina Ballerina and Trisha will take good care of you.

Sleeping in Style
These are ADORE-able. The lingerie by Swoon is unique, original and super fun! Gerry, has such creative ideas that you can be sassy, sexy or cutesy all in one thanks to her. Sleeping shorts, undies, cami's with matching undies, sexy garter belt sets and even matching sleeping masks are available from Swoon. The fabrics are all unusual and certainly not run of the mill. The best part is that just about every size you can imagine is available so the skinnies and the post baby group can all sleep in cuteness. Not to mention the fuller on top kind-a girls as their cup sizes go up to DD (remember these are for night wear not daytime support ;)). Check out the great selection at Swoon.etsy.com or visit the swoon blog to find out the latest. Happy undie hunting.
Wall Decor Dream Come True
I could spend hours looking through all of the adorable designs available at vinylwallart.com. I think I actually did. I cannot get over the creativity and the cuteness of these wall art, car art and window art, decals. Holly of vinylwallart.com, along with her husband, design and create each of these amazing items and they manage to do so at very affordable prices. The designs range from sophisticated to funky and all the way to cutesy. I love that they are so original and you can take a simple room and make it so lively by simply sticking these trinkets onto the walls. The color variety is great too. These are the perfect size for your stocking so hurry and place your holiday orders now. You can also visit Holly at Holly.etsy.com.
Cupcake Cuteness
Everybody loves cupcakes and Nikki at WHIMSYlove has created a banner to help us shout it out. These are so unique and are clearly crafted with a sprinkle of love. Each banner is made of sturdy chain and tags so they can be re-used over and over. Nikki will also customize any banner you like with the saying of your choice. Names, novelties, holidays etc. Nikki recommends using them as wall hangings, gift adornments or window decor. I personally am thinking BABY NURSERY but that's a little bit down the road here. When you visit WHIMSYlove also look for the cupcake notebooks and the pom pomParty picks. For these great items and much more, check out WHIMSYlove at WHIMSYlove.etsy.com
Gotta have these Baby Shower Favors by chsefisher
I really mean you must have them. Is it too late to have a baby shower when your baby is just about a yr old? That's how adorable I think these are, I may pack Nash into a bassinette and see if we can pass him off as just born. I can't believe how creative Jennifer over at chsefisher is to have come up with this brilliant shower favor/game idea. You get to choose which color jelly bean that you want in your pacifier and then she coordinates the ribbon to match! A fully edible and creative trinket to give to all your guests. Jennifer offers the pacifiers as favors (pictured above) as well as necklaces and bracelets which can be used for games. Jennifer suggests that each time a guest says the word "baby” they have to give up their necklace to the guest that caught them saying it. The person with the most necklaces as the end wins. How fun!! Maybe the winner should get to take home all the yummy pacifiers! To order your shower favors visit chsefisher at chsefisher.etsy.com
Yummy winter delight by Marin Made
These are white chocolate, chocolate and vanilla dipped spoons that are a great addition to your morning coffee. Like Marin says, "a great afternoon snack for the average choco-holic!!" :) A little birdie over at Marin Made told me that they are considering adding additional color schemes and the 8 yr old in me (ok I know 8 is being generous) is excited to see what the new colors are as every kid at heart loves purple and pink right?? The current color/flavor varieties are:
blue- peppermint
green- mint
red- cherry
pink-cinnamon
white-vanilla and of course the brown are chocolate, but you knew that.
These are great stocking stuffers too so hurry up and visit Marin Made at marin.etsy.com and grab a couple bundles.
Holiday Kelly Dolls from Target
Each holiday season, Target offers a limited release set of Kelly dolls and each season they get cuter, if that is even possible! This Christmas, 4 were released but this one is by far my favorite. I have collected Kelly Dolls for many years but I was not exactly Mattel's target customer even back when I started. Some kids never grow up and this one can barely contain herself each time the new sets are available on the Target store shelves. This Candy Cane Kelly is funky and sweet rolled into one. I remember trying to get highlights like that myself only I wanted purple but the store nearby was out of Manic Panic purple so I got hot pink. On me they were cute for about an hour, but these streaks are another story. C U T E! You may be able to find a few left at your local Target and if not you can find them on Ebay for a few additional dollars. Forget stocking stuffer I want her on the mantel!
