Sew Good Gifts

It's hard to believe, but it's about that time of the year when we start thinking of the holiday gifting! So like every year before, I'm looking for DIY's to keep from breaking the bank. Perfect timing, because I just discovered Megan Nielsen's website of beautiful sewing patterns for sale and a blog that features wonderful freebies & tips! Now... the next step for me...to get a sewing machine!!! I guess that will just have to be a pre-Christmas gift to myself ;P

Custom Leather Luggage Tags

My apologies for being away for so long! Jury duty has got me captive for the time being... Lets just say I'm on vacation... With that said, I shall have a custom luggage tag made by etsy seller Of the Fountain- that states "Jury Duty: the Ultimate Baggage!" Heh. Wish me luck!

A Colorful Winter with Donna Wilson

Many of you may recognize her work- but I thought I would share this London-based designer's new catalogue with you! The colors of Donna Wilson's winter collection are so bright and cheerful! They make me want to go outside and run around in the rain... I would say snow--- but we're lucky to even get drizzle out here in Los Angeles! Yay for colorful seasons!

Breakfast in bed anyone?? Ohhh, it is love!

Jambox Speakers

So I'm not typically one to hype up the latest in gadgets and technology... As a matter of fact I'm usually waaaay behind on anything tech-related. But this little device was pretty cool and looks like something even I would consider purchasing at some point. It's the Jambox- a bluetooth speaker that you can drop in your bag and have with you wherever you go. It's a sleek wireless speaker that you can store your music directly onto- OR connect your phone, music device, even your television to wirelessly. I'm thinking this might be the perfect gift foe someone who has EVERYTHING... we all know one of those... You can read up on it more HERE!
