The Perfect Gift

Look at these pendants.This is an amazing idea.I am going to have three made with a picture drawn from each of my children.These pendants would be the perfect gift for a mom. Or a grandparent. I have so many friends that I would love to get these for.And chances are they don't have one of these! More good news, the price is low enough that you can get a few made and not break the bank. You can find them here http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21301290

Spring Skirts

I love wearing skirts in the spring and summer.Ideally,I would love to make them with beautiful fabrics,but I just don't have the time. I think all of the testosterone with a house full of boys gears me towards frilly,feminine clothes.Sometimes.Anyway,I have just ordered a menagerie of gorgeous skirts from Boden.And I am eagerly waiting for my package to come in the mail.You can find these and other gorgeous clothes at bodenusa.com

Adorn Jewelry

I came across these wonderful pieces of jewelry on Etsy and I love them.The green moss reminds me of spring,which I am wishing for lately. I love the earrings especially.You can find more great inspiration at http://www.adornjewelry.blogspot.com.
