Brilliant

Love this headband by Raimbowtree. Its so pretty and bright and unexpected.

It goes without saying

But I'll say it anyway! Why go stand in line at those big box stores buying mass-produced junk for holiday gifts, when you could instead buy handmade lovelies like these super fabulous whale pillows by katedurkin?

I am so hoping for an etsy and art-filled Xmas.

Botanicals

Have you all seen these amazing necklaces by squidlicks? Cause if you haven't, you should go look right now. So pretty and fun!

Lilac

I'm absolutely in love with these earrings by asetugrul. Just the right shade, prefect dangleyness, and just the right level of fancyness. They would never leave my ears.

Softish mood

These merino wool bracelets by easternsky are the prettiest things I've seen as of yet today. They also make them in cotton and (even better!) silk.

Happiness feels like felt

This necklace is chock full of happiness and woefully underpriced for the happiness it would add to any outfit. Found over at rosetutu.

Mustardy

I adore this pretty pretty dress by rizsedek. It would be so fun to accessorize with all the different color possibilities. I'd wear it with deep twilight blue tights and arm warmers. Or some candy red earrings and brown scuffed up boots. Or dress it up with turquoise beads and a pretty shawl. This dress is so versatile!

Gentle adornment

This necklace by ovejanegra would have me petting my jewelry all day long.

Flutter some

How sweet and darling is this butterfly wreath by royalbuffet? I'm entirely too covetous of many of their clever paper creations.

Wow!

This hair clip by preenyourself is amazing! What a show stopper!

Working on it

Not only do I deeply desire this skirt by Cocoricoo, I also desire to be the kinda woman who can pull it off. I'm working on it.

Extravagance

This shawl / quilt / artsy thing by akinamina is amazing! What a beautiful item!

Sail across the water

zhow adorable is this quilted postcard by syko? Makes me happy just to look at it.

That's right

This giant squid monster by AngDavidson is the epitomy of awesomeness.

Extravagant

This necklace looks like it could have been dug out of a dusty trunk in the basement of some ancient estate. I love the complexity and extravagance of it. Find it at t8designs.

World full of flowers

Rachel Stuart-Hass's work blows my mind. I love everything about her pieces. The tub one is likely my most favorite.

Rustles with color

Carambatack does some lovely art. I'm pretty partial to her trees.

New sweetness and light

Maybe I'll devise the other half of my wardrobe around this bag by GiantDwarf. I love the mix of colors and pattern.

Schemes

My wardrobe is looking tired and the cool weather puts me in mind of changing everything. Maybe I should get a pretty piece of jewelry like this from nhubs and build a whole look around it.

Floating poppies

I discovered the work of Steve Neverdeen through the oh-so-pretty Ill Seen, Ill Said blog. Isn't it lovely?

The gorgeous tones and landscapes put me dreamily in the mood of the film A Very Long Engagement.

My favorite cone flower ever

I've been smitten with wishfactory's work for a while, but her recent soft sculpture of a cone flower has captured my heart and imagination. How fantastic!

Yes please

If I had this lovely lovely wee couch from Spruce, I would love it and call it Ernie and never let my kitties with their fearsome claws near it - - - well maybe only to sit in my lap.

Jellies

I believe my love for jellyfish is pretty well documented. So how did you all fail to inform me of these fantastic notecards by FrancesAntoinette?! I hope you'll all try harder next time.

So perfect! I want to frame them and hang them about my house in unexpected places.

With its cute buggyness and all that sparkly goldness, I want this painting by KellyPatton bad. So bad that I'm bargaining with myself about what I can scrimp on to justify buying pretty artwork when I have already splurged badly on clothes this month. Maybe I'll find magic money to make this bug my own.

Bark

I want like a bazillion of the shrinky dink rings by dillondesigns. I want this bark one the very most.

Reminded

Doesn't this dress from AntiqueDress.com remind you of those sweet old fashioned appliqued quilts? Oh so pretty!

The smallness of being

I adore these cool images by Andrea Aversa. They are so intriguing.

Knitty

This knitted purse by knitwhit is pretty had to resist. Love the girly colors and the fun layers.

Mmmmmmm

This painting by Mary Anne Wakeley has colors I could bathe in.

Itch

Thaneya's artwork has one of my favorite qualities - it makes me itch to pick up my markers and paints and get busy. These pieces are so lively and fun and delightful to my eyes.
