I just got word that Wendy Mink is running an online sample sale for Haiti February 5-8. Fifty percent of proceeds will go to the Red Cross.
Here are a few styles from the sale:
Also – if you have your eye on something for everyone’s favorite Hallmark holiday, Valentines Day, you’ll recieve free shipping on any order over $150.
So FYI Chris – I think this should more than cover that:
Just in case you were wondering…
Yesterday I posted some hats from Tissage that make me feel like I was born in the wrong era (admit it – you know this feeling – at some point during your childhood you wanted to be Anne of Green Gables or Laura Ingalls…)
Another speciality of Tissage is the necklace with a vintage brooch accent.
Here are some that I would love to own:
And here is a bonus brooch bracelet that I wouldn’t kick out of my jewelry box:
You can add these to the Valentines Day wish list…
This adorable cloche hat:
Does it come with the curls?
Anything wrapped like this:
…and by “anything,” I mean this necklace:
And finally – I wouldn’t mind an evening out worthy of this frock (plus the frock of course):
But only if you really love me…
A gift buying guide for ME that is…
I think I’ll devote the next couple of days to gift ideas for everyone’s favorite Hallmark holiday.
Here are a few items that you might want to consider (okay – for YOU if you insist – but be aware that I have ME in mind):
The lover of pretty things in me wants to display these on a shelf…
…while the book nerd in me wants to run my fingers across the spines and wish I knew how to read French.
*I was originally going to feature a gorgeous cinnabar bracelet from FrenchBlue, but by the time I came back to grab the image, it was GONE. Quel dommage… Instead I selected these books which I just noticed are also now sold. Mon Dieu, one must act fast when shopping at FrenchBlue!
Moving on… I’m in desperate need of a gold cuff bracelet.
This one will do.
And would love another Liza Hirst to hang on my wall…
I’ll take a painting of flowers (and an abstract one at that!) over dozens of roses any day.
That’s enough for now. I’ll be back tomorrow with some more gift suggestions (for me).
I would love one of the gorgeous scarves on Hugo & Marie…
…you know – if you felt like buying me a present. Just an FYI.
We’re driving to Cleveland for a wedding this weekend, so I pulled this little gem from my file.
How about this muse board from Wedding Cabaret?
I love the feathers. Not sure about a feathered wedding dress off the runway… But for small details like shoes and headpieces, and of course for the ancillary events like the rehearsal dinner – I love it.
Not sure where I came across John Iversen, but I love his delicate designs.
Each piece of jewelry is like a work of art, and the nature-inspired hydrangea designs are my favorite.
Just exquisite.

I do.
Okay – not really, but you know – need…want…potato…potahto…
I wrote about Brooke Galardi’s beautiful bags a while ago on The Big Piece of Cake. Since then, she’s added some breathtaking new designs to her shop.
Swoon.
I think I do really need one.
We’re taking the kids to Rehoboth Beach, DE for a week at the end of July and I think I want a new beach bag.
Canvas is a definite – but where to buy…?
There’s always the traditional L.L. Bean bag.
Initially, I loved this one with the leather handles.
A better choice would be this roomy one.
Okay – this is more like it.
The website says it’s “a side handle to grasp for sideways bag dumping.” My toddlers don’t need special aides for dumping out bags – so I think we can skip that one.
FINALLY – the solution:
Sigh. Well this is a blog about wishing…maybe Target will come up with a knock off.
I recently happened upon Bonbon Oiseau, a “jewelry and hair adornment” company based in Brooklyn. The designs all have a chain link and charm theme – an interesting spin on the traditional charm bracelet.
But what I’ve really fallen in love with is their line of necklaces. The little charms and pendants are so delicate and unique. Here are some of my favorites:
