Isn't this ornament sweet?!
I found it at The Designer Zoo after seeing one in "Mary Engelbreits's Home Companion" magazine.

The holidays are upon us and I am excited! As many shoppers are out taking advantage of super sales I sit blogging. Why? Because I am a planner and an online shopper.
Thanks to my friend and fab photographer, Eleise Theuer, I have discovered Etsy.com the online marketplace for artisans of handcrafted items. Eleise is a style maven with a keen eye for design. Check out her webiste Eleise Theuer Photography or visit her blog!
Etsy has become a guilty pleasure. Why is it that whenever you are shopping for others, you find so many things for yourself? As I mentioned earlier, I am almost done with shopping for friends and family but will share some of my favorite finds - some of which are on my wishlist. I sure hope Santa reads this blog!
I love this necklace:

This glass tile pendant necklace will make a great gift for a couple of girlfriends - hope they don't read the blog! Love the ball chain!


Love all things paper like me? Looking for a 2008 Calendar? Here's my choice. It is made from individual cards with a different letterpress pattern and haiku poem for each month.


These vintage typewriter key pendants are very hot right now! They make great bridesmaid's gifts or string them together to make personalized ornaments as seen in "Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion" magazine (item 'h' below). I found these at The Weekend Store


I hope you find something you adore for the people you love!
