Today’s Etsy Spotlight is Persnickety Pelican. They have adorable items that involve such Tipsy loves as wiener dogs, owls, chihuahuas and more. We have worked with this mother/daughter team on Der’s surprise party and can’t tell you enough nice things about them. Great to work with on custom stuff! Go check them out!
I <3 Plasticland.com Because It’s Nuts (like me).

I found your mercury glass AK. One slight detail–they are mushrooms. But why not? Also, why not have salt and peppa shakers shaped liked ninjas? Here are some of my favorite picks from Plasticland.com.
- Creepy Cute Crochet DIY Craft Book – when I do learn how to crochet, it will most certainly be these little zombies.
- Day Dream Panel – looks very Asian to me ladies. Which means I am sold.
- Ninjas Salt & Pepper Shaker Set – I think everyone could use more ninja in their lives. Don’t you?
- Pink Cristale Plume Feather Pen – my level of professionalism will be taken up 1000 notches when the folks at the office see my scribing with this.
- Lime Best of Both Worlds Mugs – one side is a tea cup (for all the tea parties I still have with my teddy bears) and one side is a legit coffee mug. Business on the front, party on the back–similar to a mullet.
- The Chef’s Planning Kit – comes with all sorts of to do lists, shopping pads, menu organizers and sure to be hilarious Chef’s Quote Book. Made for that chef in your life (re: Jwo).
- Mercury Glass Decorative Mushrooms – look no further AK. Found the perfect mercury glass to adorn your mantel. Yes, yes, they are mushrooms, but I think that says a lot about character:)

Very Merry White Christmas!
December 30, 2009 by
For those of you who live anywhere near Central Texas, you probably experienced near blizzard conditions on Christmas Eve and a perfectly white Christmas Day, as did we! It was my first white Christmas EVER, and one that I’ll never forget. Here are a few of the goodies my husband and I picked up along the way…
- Lb Brewing Company Beer and T-Shirt: My mom got this for my husband and I thought it was a GREAT idea. She is from Kansas and stumbled upon this brewery on one of her excursions. His gift included this t-shirt and a gallon of their honey wheat beer…soooo good!
- TomTom Navigation System, Amazon: So, I guess my husband thinks I get lost a lot…?
- Restoration Hardware Gift Card: I LOVE this store!
- Vera Wang Perfume, Amazon: One smell and you’ll fall in love…
- Leupold Rifle Scope, Buy.com: This was my present to my husband, with help from my Dad, and he was excited/impressed!
- Chartreuse Fiestaware, MegaChina.com: I collect Fiestaware dishes and when I receive a hard to find, retired, color, it makes me smile.
- Old World Christmas Ornaments, oldworldchristmas.com: I also collect Old World Christmas ornaments and my Mom ALWAYS comes through with getting me new and interesting ornaments…I couldn’t believe she found an Old World sushi roll!!!
- LG Front-load Washer and Dryer, Sears: So, Santa may have come a couple weeks early with this one, but that doesn’t mean my husband didn’t remind me a bagillion times what he got me for Christmas…
I hope everyone had Happy Holidays and have a great New Year!
Santa Was Very Good To Me
December 29, 2009 by
So we know that my son is spoiled as hell, so let’s talk about Mommy. I must have been very good this year, or my boyfriend Ben and my Mom, Mimi really know me well! Here’s a few of my favs from my stash.
- Cat house from Ikea. This goes great with my decor. It’s acting as a piece of abstract art at the moment, but I am devising plans to make my cats go kookoo for this new condo.
- Yurakoro Lucky Cat. I’ll admit, I’m a small child when it comes to gifts like these. Of all the things I received this year, I have to say this is my favorite. What makes this little gadget even better is when you rock it, the kitty mews just like my Siamese, which makes me laugh everytime.
- World Market Floor Lamp. This was on my Tipsy Christmas list and I think Santa surely read it! This things is gargantuan. I am working on finding the perfect place for this in my crib, but am surely in love.
- Bissell Pet Vacuum. Comes fully equipped with the chamber that you can view all the nastiness that you suck in. Hellz yes.

Christmas List: 7-year-old BOY Edition!
December 17, 2009 by
Anyone want to know whats on a 7-year-old’s Christmas list…?? Here it is.
- New Super Mario Bros for Wii – will Mommy want to play? Mayyyybe. Some of my favorite memories of Austin and I together have come from when I conquered SMB on Austin’s DS about a year ago. I felt like a hero with him cheering me on 🙂
- Star Wars Table Top Electric Pinball – Darth Vader + Pinball = awesome.
- Star Wars Lego Star Wars Limited Edition X-Wing Fighter – see above. Star Wars + Lego = awesomer. Finding miscellaneous Rebel Alliance Lego parts all over the house for years=priceless.
- Pokemon Sleeping Bag – Do we go camping alot? No. Do we have tons of uses for a Pokemon themed sleeping bag? Hellz yes.
- Blockus – strategy game that my son will love and I will hopefully master and be able to rub it in his face. HAHAHA! I mean Ho Ho Ho!
- Pokemon Puzzle – we can put this together while zipped up in #4!
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days – this is the fourth book in this series and my son has finished the three before it. Like I always tell Austin….always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. Seriously though, this series is great, and it keeps Austin hungry to read. Win, win.
- Snap on Digi Camera – Can hold up to 40 pics and its spring clip prevents it from being lost yeah right.
- Guess Who – does your person have hair? does your person have glasses? does your person have wrinkles? Whoever that is, thats one ugly ass person. But I love playing this game with Austin.
As a side note, Ben (my boyfriend) and I Santa may or may not have shopped at kids.woot.com this year for many of these items 🙂
Christmas Wishlist: Sarah Edition
December 17, 2009 by
The Mission:create a list of fabulousness that I wouldn’t mind showing up under the tree on Christmas morning if $$$ were NO object!
The Result:
- Tiffany & Co., 1837 Interlocking Circles Ring: I have been in LOVE with this ring since I first tried it on. Why am I trying on jewelry at Tiffany’s you ask? Because it’s fun…that’s why! Another thing that draws me to this ring is the rose gold, anyone else out there as obsessed with rose gold as me?
- Amy Butler, Carried-Away Everything: These bags are a tad pricey, but they are super-cute. I would also like several of her tote bags as well, but that’s for another post…
- Allens Boots, Old Gringo Cruzadas: Ok, this is the 2nd time I’ve mentioned these boots in this blog…don’t you think it’s time someone bought them for me?
- Anthropologie, Fire Within Posts: Simple, classic, and just plain cute.
- JCrew, Salon Bracelet: Truth be told, I wanted to put all of the JCrew jewelry line on this list…
- Williams-Sonoma, Le Creuset 6 and 3/4 Qt. Oval Dutch Oven: I just feel like I need this dutch oven because a) the Pioneer Woman uses one a lot when she cooks and b) who doesn’t like a lime green pot in their cabinets!?!
- Amazon, KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer: This needs to be on my counter in my kitchen…it will break up the absurd amount of red that I have!
- Crate & Barrel, OXO Pop Containers: My pantry has become disheveled…these should help…
- Williams-Sonoma, Le Creuset 12″ Fry Pan: Geez, you would think cooking was my hobby with all these kitchen items on my list!
- Pottery Barn, Tuscan Urns: These would look really neat in my house.
- Anthropologie: Shocking, but this jewelry box is no longer available, but I do like this alternative!
- Nordstrom, Michele ‘Deco’ Customizable Watch: I seriously have not had a new watch since I was in high school…
It Doesn’t Get Better Than Sprinkles
December 17, 2009 by
While strolling through my local mall Christmas Shopping, I stepped foot into Williams Sonoma and discovered what is going to quickly become an addiction. Excuse me while I wipe my drool. Sprinkles Cupcake Mixes! It was so tempting not to purchase each and every one of the flavors. What an awesome gift for yourself or for someone else… OR serve them at your holiday parties and watch how fast they go!
