amy butler – Tipsy Society http://tipsysociety.com The things we can do with a little alcohol and a lot of Internets. Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:03:38 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.5.2 Fabric Necklace: Easy or Hard? http://tipsysociety.com/2010/07/fabric-necklace-easy-or-hard/ http://tipsysociety.com/2010/07/fabric-necklace-easy-or-hard/#comments Mon, 19 Jul 2010 11:00:53 +0000 http://tipsysociety.com/?p=4607 So I’ve had this Amy Butler Fabric Necklace free pattern saved as a project I’d like to do for a while now.  The delay? I’m scared! I’m SOOOOO not a sewing type of person. I did get a sewing machine for Christmas last year and I did take one “Get to know your sewing machine” class but I haven’t been very adventurous as of yet.  I would love to know if any of you have attempted one of these necklaces and if so, was it hard? If you think it was easy, are you an expert in sewing or a novice like me?

Christmas Wishlist: Sarah Edition http://tipsysociety.com/2009/12/christmas-wishlist-sarah-edition/ Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:00:13 +0000 http://tipsysociety.com/?p=1658 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:

sk-xmas list

  1. 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?
  2. 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…
  3. 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?
  4. Anthropologie, Fire Within Posts: Simple, classic, and just plain cute.
  5. JCrew, Salon Bracelet: Truth be told, I wanted to put all of the JCrew jewelry line on this list…
  6. 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!?!
  7. 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!
  8. Crate & Barrel, OXO Pop Containers: My pantry has become disheveled…these should help…
  9. Williams-Sonoma, Le Creuset 12″ Fry Pan: Geez, you would think cooking was my hobby with all these kitchen items on my list!
  10. Pottery Barn, Tuscan Urns: These would look really neat in my house.
  11. Anthropologie: Shocking, but this jewelry box is no longer available, but I do like this alternative!
  12. Nordstrom, Michele ‘Deco’ Customizable Watch: I seriously have not had a new watch since I was in high school…
