Shanna Creations

I think I need this one. Look at that little baby elephant walking behind his Mama.
It's time. Look around your home. What is hanging on you walls? Do you have art? Real art; created by an artist and NOT mass produced for a big box store. Your home is worth it, you are worth it. Find something that speaks to you and buy it. Find a special spot in your home to hang it and enjoy it. It is possible to find reasonably prized, original artwork by fantastic artists. I found some!

Shanna Creations offers beautiful artwork in her shop. Do your tastes run modern? Then you'll like this.  Is nature your thing? Check this one out. More of a traditional vibe in your home? This one might work for you.

I love 'em. I can't help it. You may be noticing a theme with our 'products we love' section. Hearts, hearts, hearts. Crystal Clan sent us three brilliant crystal hearts. You just have to love a shop that makes beautiful, handcrafted mineral and crystal hearts.  Unlike me, this little shop likes to branch out beyond hearts and they make things like this, this and this, too.

Would a crystal heart make your day? Of course it would. Like this post on Facebook and I'll add your name to the draw.

Wish Words Gifts

I've become such a sucker for typography and word design. Did you know I have a favourite font? It's called 'Horse Puke'. Seriously, look it up. If I designed a font I would call it  'tired mama'. Typography is big business and I want to be a part of it. 

Wish Words Gifts creates these great prints. They are ideal for a classroom, a child's room or any room in your home. I think a lot of you would have this one in a second. I am partial to this one.

Alva, the lovely shopowner from Ireland has sent us two lovely apple prints like one you see below. One is personalized for me, and one is perfect for the teacher in your life. This print is framed and ready to go so please 'like' this post on Facebook or comment below for a chance to win.

Aren't these the sweetest? VIRA Handmade creates these adorable best friend necklaces by hand. I can't handle the carrot and the peas. They are my favourite, by far. I also love this set, this set and get a load of this set.

Grace was partial to the doughnuts so she's rocking the strawberry dip right now and that means those sweet cookies are up for grabs. 

Who's got a little person that would adore these cookie necklaces?  'Like' this post on Facebook or comment below for a chance to win.

My Fireside Muse

rus·tic ˈrəstik/Submit adjective 1. of or relating to the countryside; rural. "bare plaster walls and a terra-cotta floor give a rustic feel" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pas·to·ral [pas-ter-uhl, pah-ster-] Show IPA adjective 1. having the simplicity, charm, serenity, or other characteristics generally attributed to rural areas: pastoral scenery; the pastoral life.
Two of my new favourite words to use are rustic and pastoral. I know they aren't new words but seriously, you'll start to see them in my writing more. I had to look pastoral up to make sure I knew what it meant. I didn't. Either way my two prized words are perfect to describe my new treasured shop. My Fireside Muse creates rustically pastoral (no? too much...you know what I mean) wall decor for your home. I jumped on the ABC wall hooks and Kate's TMNT hoodie and Grace's fuchsia dress coat are hanging from the hooks right now. Do yourself a favour and get yourself organized with one of these pastorally rustic (still no?) charming creations.

Yes, to giveaway, I have a gorgeous wooden wall hanging with colourful glass knobs to hang your family's things. See the photo below. Simply 'like' this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered for a chance to win.

How badly do I wish I had discovered this shop before the end of school? What great teacher's gifts these necklaces would make. Erin Pelicano designs these pieces and there is something for everyone. I am especially fond of the presentation. The display of the necklaces and the added quotes that are meaningful to the occasion are wonderful. It is these small touches that make these necklaces such perfect gifts. Maybe I'll stock up on a few for upcoming occasions.


Which is your favourite? I'm partial to the hearts, of course. The Mother/Daughter necklace is first on my list.

I have the creativity necklace below and I'd love to send it to one of you. Please like this post on Facebook or comment below for a chance to win.

The Odd Emporium

Guess which one is in Kate's room? Go on, guess. I ordered it in Ninja Turtle green and she loves it.  If you ever come by to visit (please don't, that would be weird) she'll take you directly to her room and show you her growing collection of dinosaur art. The Odd Emporium treated us to a couple of their fantastic prints, so of course I have one for you, too. 


You can win the brilliant print of the T-Rex riding the unicycle you see below. I ordered it in the same green that Kate adores and I even bought you a frame for it when I was buying one for Kate. (Have I told you how upside down I am on these reviews, oh well, I never did have a mind for money). Well, who wants it? This print should go to a special little person that will really appreciate it. 'Like' this post on Facebook or comment below for a chance to win.

Walls Republic

I've always loved wallpaper. I know it has made a major comeback in recent years but even before that, when it was a floral explosion on my grandparent's wall I could appreciate the texture and the patterns. Maybe it has something to do with my stationary obsession. I love a room with at least one wall covered with a  beautiful wallpaper. 

Walls Republic was kind enough to allow me to choose two of my favourite styles from their shop. I really struggled to choose because there were so many styles that I loved. After browsing for an evening with a glass a wine, I finally chose two. One, I will use to add a little extravagance to my bedroom and the other I will give away to one of you. 

I chose the Damask styles, below. What do you think? They arrived today and they are so gorgeous. You have to feel this wallpaper! It is so luxurious. I cannot wait until I have the time put it up. Anyone want to do that part for me? Kidding, kinda. 

Would you like some? Where would you put it? Give me some ideas. If you want to win a roll please like this post on Facebook or comment below.

THE Modern BAZAAR

See that gold cuff with the citrine bangle next to it below? That set is sitting on my dresser right now with a location very special to me etched into it. Any guesses? I'll give you one hint. There is nothing sappy about it. I love the idea of having something so personal on a piece of jewelry. I am guessing some of you would be more sentimental and choose the location where you fell in love or the place where you children were born. I may have been a bit more selfish in my choice but it's pretty great, just the same. I know you want one. I can tell because you're still reading and you want to know how you can win one. 

THE Modern Bazaar is the jeweller and not only is she supremely talented, she is always very generous. She sent the TWO of the gorgeous autism inspired cuffs you see below to give away to you. I know from experience that hundreds of you will enter but unfortunately only two of you can win. So, if you need a gorgeous gold autism inspired cuff please click here to order one. Otherwise, please like this post on Facebook for a chance to win or comment below. I really cannot wait to give these away! Don't forget to visit her FB page and tell her we sent you!
