I ran across Jennifer Ladd’s Etsy shop when I was looking for gifts to give all the girls that threw me a baby shower way back when I was a waddling fool. I can’t tell you how much I drooled over all the different fabrics. So many different colors and patterns. I would like one of each please. You can never have too many “going out” purses, can you? Don’t answer that. Have a gander at all her past and present items…tons of cuteness!

Do You Know What Today Is?
November 3, 2009 by
So my hubby bought this necklace for me for Mother’s Day this year. My calendar necklace from dalla nonna is the month of October and has my son’s birthday along with my wedding anniversary because they happened the same month 3 years apart! FTW!
Girls, drop the hint–its a super elegantly simple everyday necklace that your guy should totally buy you for an anniversary or your wedding or your first child. And guys (if any guys read this site) that means–if you are getting married, already are married or if your wife birthed your child from her very own loins either after hours and hours of painstaking labor or via scalpel because of a c-section, then you totally owe her.
And DUDE, they totally have bracelets now!
Modern Quilts! Who Knew?!
November 2, 2009 by
When you think about quilts, you probably think patchwork stuff and a bunch of old ladies sitting around a table. Quilts aren’t just for the geriatrics, people! These quilts will keep you warm and toasty just like the ones you think of when you hear the word quilt but also keep you stylin’–and we know that’s the most important thing. Right?

Friday’s Etsy Spotlight: Beach Chik Designs
October 30, 2009 by
Today’s Etsy shop, Beach Chik Designs went through the Tipsy Society like wildfire! Sarah purchased one of these for Der and then I purchased one of these for another friend! Sarah and I both bought them for wedding showers (for decor at the shower as well as a present to the bride & groom). They are completely customizable! I love the Date Canvases which you immediately think of for wedding dates. BUT what if your husband keeps forgetting your wedding date, get one for your anniversary so he NEVER forgets because its displayed right there on the wall or mantle! haha! OR the Number Canvas could easily be for a baby gift once the little one arrives–displayed in the baby’s room! LOVE LOVE LOVE the personalization!

7 Ways to Make an Eclectic Nursery
October 28, 2009 by
When I found out I was having a boy, I knew what I didn’t want in a nursery. I didn’t want pastels, I didn’t want typical. What I did want was his nursery to look like it belonged to the rest of our house which is colorful and eclectic.
I had seen, at a local antique show, a slew of owls painted on some weathered fence boards and immediately wanted it for my son’s nursery however it was a GAZILLION dollars, so I set out to make it and therein came the theme for my son’s room: owls. I read somewhere after I picked that theme that owls bring good luck, wisdom, and watchful protection to your home–LOVED IT!
My hunt for owls then returned the Flights of Fancy Mobile, which just embodied the colorfulness that I wanted. From there I wanted unique animals and found the Dodo Bird print, Pongo (who I loved so much I framed him) and Magnus.
