Jackie is right . . .

It's been far too long.

What awesome stuff have I found lately? Let's take a look.

Clif Z Bars! Okay so they are made for kids, but that means less calories than regular Clif bars. And they are delicious! My favorite is Honey Graham without a doubt. The peanut butter, brownie, and s'mores are also really good!

kate spade and all of her amazing non-leather handbags and wallets. Some of her bags are leather of course, but she usually has a good selection of fabric bags too! I also recently snagged a vinyl wallet! Her jewelry is so pretty too.

This Undress Art Pendant Necklace

Cards from pinwheeldesigns

The Mulberry for Target collection. I love when Target has expensive designers create lines for them. They're almost always vegan friendly!

I'm not terribly excited for colder weather, but I am super excited for Halloween! This is going to be my costume this year!

That's all for now! Happy (almost Halloween!!!)

The Broken Plate

I've been a fan of The Broken Plate for a while now. It's one of my oldest favorite shops. I think I came across it when I was searching for local Etsy sellers. Clearly the fact that the shop is right here in Baltimore makes me love it even more! A while ago I bought this ring (and luckily got it on sale!) and it's really pretty in person. And what a unique story to tell people my ring used to be a plate. I love jewelry with a story.

Recently this necklace popped up in the shop and I instantly fell in love. Maybe because ever since discovering Atomic Cheesecake Studios, I've loved the idea of vintage pin-ups. Then when I clicked on the listing, I saw that the shop creator had her pictures done there too! The one shown is adorable!

PS here is my favorite from when I got my pictures done last June :)

I also came across this necklace in the shop, which half of the selling price goes to the MDSPCA. Another reason to love this shop!!Happy Monday to everyone! I know it's going to be another hot one here!

Boston Terriers!

I feel like I've been surrounded by adorable Boston Terriers recently! These in particular:

This necklace from All Mighty

This dog bed (I wish the little cutie sleeping on top was included!)

And this card

But of course doxies still have to be first in my heart :)

This necklace seems like a great way to show it

I think Lily would approve!

I also think these necklaces from A.N. Original Jewelry are so cute.

Have a great day :)

Here are a few other things making me happy right now ~

This ballet dancer scarf

This Amethyst Ring

. . . and really most the rings from Garnet Girl Designs, including these in particular

Custom pet nose sterling pendant (seriously how adorable and strange is this at the same time?) This shop also makes really unique fingerprint wedding bands!

Cottage Garden Vintage Cameo Ring

This one got away from me before I had the chance to buy it, but I'm sure it went to a good home!

I hope everyone can get out and enjoy the weather at some point today!

MDSPCA and New Favorites!

I had my first day volunteering at the MDSPCA Saturday and it went really well! My favorite dog (who was thankfully already adopted) was a small pit bull that had been completely covered in paint. The SPCA had to shave off all of her hair to get the paint off, and there were spots where her skin had been rubbed raw. Her name was Picasso. I took her out in one of the fenced in areas and sat down on the cement. She plopped right down on my lap, legs dangling awkwardly off :)

I also walked this guy named Bruno (who is still looking for a home). So adorable!

Moving along, let's get to my latest favorites!

Momochas

Momochas is an Etsy shop that I've admired for a while now. All of her jewelry is handmade using polymer clay, and after looking at a few pieces it's hard to believe because the jewelry is so intricate and professional looking! Here are a few of my favorite pieces :)

Soft Floral silver Plated Necklace

Magenta Adjustable Ring

Chocolate and Lace Earrings

Slices of Nature Ring

I love all of the different color combinations she uses. There is something for every season!
