Custom Stamp for MaieDae!

I've been working on getting things together for ICE-Atlanta, including coming up with some cute packaging when customers purchase goodies. :) I commissioned Kozue to make me a custom stamp for MaieDae and I just got the package in today!

Kozue was great to work with, super professional, and even suggested separating my logo into two pieces so I could use different colors and placements. She usually does portrait stamps (which are way amazing!) so I was excited she was willing to carve my logo. Now I just need to go buy some colored stamp pads!

Fancy Shmancy: A Tuesday Collection of Favorite Things 11.9.10

I am super excited about this week's Fancy Shmancy! I have lots of favorite treasures that are perfect for holiday giving this year! 

1. I might be an owl fanatic...maybe just a teensy bit. BirdMafia is already one of my favorite Etsy shops and they recently came out with THIS way-too-cute-for-words baby owl stuffie. I could just pass away it is so cute. I think I already have a perfect place in my home picked out for it too! 

2. This is CRAZY. First of all my, husband and I love ThinkGeek. They have way too much creative and unique stuff for the geek in your life. I have had my eye on this little beauty for a while now. It is a Magic Wand programmable TV remote. By programming your own wrist swishes and movements, you can change the channels, turn up the volume, and turn off the television. How neat! 

3. Jon and I have been collecting ornaments for our first Christmas since we got engaged our Junior year of college. I just think these sweet little animal doily ornaments by WannaBe on Etsy are so dainty and adorable. 

4. I have mentioned Urban Decay in a previous post , but I recently got this NYC eye-shadow book from Ulta and I love its variety and choice of pigments. I have to confess that I have been collecting their eyeshadows and have four different books....so. much. eyeshadow!!

5. I ran across this BigCartel shop, MADEBYHANK, the other day and was amazed at the quality and beauty of her clutches and purses. This one is currently sold out, but I am crossing my fingers it will be re-stocked!

6. Most people cringe at the thought of eggnog. I will take a small glass of cold eggnog with my Thanksgiving meal, please! And those eggnog latte's at Starbucks...

7. These are fantastic. These moccasins are handmade by Katie of Darlingtonia. These little cuties are called "The Hitchmocc" inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's, "The Birds".

8. Thank you, Forever21, for inexpensive and cute dresses like this Confetti heart dress!

New Product Line: "My Darling & I" and "My Name is Beautiful"

I am VERY excited and proud to announce that my Etsy boutique now has a NEW line of personalized necklaces-- out just in time for the holiday season! I used to do a lot of jewelry making in high school and decided to pick it up again in order to present these precious little treasures to you! Do they not make a perfect gift for Christmas, Weddings, Birthdays...etc?

Here is a show and tell of the new line. I used my name and my husband's for the sample names (also so I could wear them myself!) If you like what you see, click on any of the pictures or take a stroll on over to my MaieDae boutique on Etsy to place your order.

Each necklace can be uniquely personalized and you have a choice of buying it with a beautiful antiqued bronze chain or with a delicate cream ribbon.
