I Heart Resin Rings!

Handmade resin rings are my latest obsession. I've seen cheap versions at stores like Target (which I still love, don't get me wrong), but there's just something about knowing that a ring has been completely handmade and being able to buy the ring directly from the person making it. Here are my current Etsy favorites :)

Pesto Avatar Ring

Ring-Tangerine Hewn Ring in Resin and Silver

Sea Foam Ring

Alice Down The Rabbit Hole - Solid Resin Ring

Whisper Sterling and Resin Ring

And this is my favorite resin ring from my own collection. It's huge and amazing! The artist, Molly Proctor, is also really sweet in addition to being super talented! Check out her "sold" items for some examples of the beautiful colors and custom rings she has made using her own molds!

Soaking up the sun!

This weekend it was miraculously not below freezing during the day! Lily and I actually got to go for a walk Saturday AND Sunday. Clearly this exhausted her. Yesterday she slept the entire day. Here she is soaking up the sun through my bedroom window (she tried to lay outside in the sun but it didn't last long!).

Happy Monday :)

These are a few of my favorite things . . .

Tom Binns for Disney Couture Alice Bangle Bracelet

Flower Cluster Necklace

Farrah Ring in Snow White
Knitwit Bangle in Yellow (seriously, how unique is this??)

Anything from The Poppy Tree

Also, I just received this Acid Alice ring and Tuxedo Lingerie ring from Tarina Tarantino today. I am in love with them both (but especially the Acid Alice one!!). They are both pretty small and understated for Tarina Tarantino, but so perfect for wearing every day :)

Happy Friday to everyone!!

Acid Alice

Tarina Tarantino just launched her brand new collection called Acid Alice. It's a part of her Queen Alice collection, but all of the new pieces are in neon bright colors. Clearly, since I'm dying to go see the new Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland, I really like this collection. Here are a few of my favorite pieces.

Have a great weekend :)

Free People

I've heard of Free People before but I guess I always assumed it was crazy expensive so I never really gave it a chance. Well I got a catalog in the mail last week (that's how they sucker people in I know) so I went to their website to look around. Their clothes aren't cheap, but they're not insane, and their accessories are actually really reasonable! I also discovered that the guy who started Urban Outfitters is the same guy that started Free People (Free People became UO and then he relaunched Free People after UO took off). Here are some of my favorite things from there right now!

The last ring is by artist Jessica Seaton. It's a little bit more expensive but it's made by hand using the lost wax method. I thought that made it pretty unique!

Handmade Cards

Yes I make handmade cards. But I still enjoy buying handmade cards from others on Etsy. There are so many wonderful shops that I just can't resist! Here are a few of my recent purchases.

Sweetheart Postcards

Just Right card

Aren't they all so cute? I have several others on my favorites ready for when I send these!

Snow Snow Everywhere

Well on Saturday my town got 39 inches of snow, and then Wednesday we got about another 18. Needless to say this is not typical for Maryland, and this storm (now being considered one so we get federal aid) has already made history. I can't say that I'm thrilled though. And more snow is on the way for Monday. All I can hope for is that Spring gets here quickly! Here are some pictures from my adventures so far in the winter wonderland we are experiencing!

Lily's face says it all.

More pictures on my Flickr page! Stay warm everyone. And please pray for Spring!
