Will Wood Work for Food

He's handsome, he's from sunny California, he builds things with his hands. Those things hold wine. What more can a girl ask for? Noah at Will Wood Work For Food (The cleverest shop name yet) has sent the rustic wine rack you see below for giveaway to one of you lucky dolls.

I am beginning to get ticked off that I cannot enter my own contests. I drink wine, too, and enough that it does necessitate a rack. I kid, of course, (not about the wine consumption, though). I want one of our loyal readers to take this baby home and I want it to remind you of us every time you have a glass. As for the those that don't win, get your own here. If you want surprise a worthy mom you could buy it, hang it and fill it with wine and just wait for her reaction. Trust me, you will have done well!

If our man
Noah 'will wood work for food', you 'will work for wine rack!'. To be entered into this contest you must both 'like' this post on Facebook and comment your drink of choice below. It doesn't have to contain alcohol. Just let us know what you prefer in your glass. This contest closes in twenty-four hours. Good Luck!

This one might suit my wine consumption more. Well, me and my friends together, anyway. I never drink alone. Too boring.

LOVE LING Z

You must never tell Miss Grace that this glorious bunny was once in our home and will soon leave to live with the winner of this giveaway. She would be devastated beyond repair. These enchanted little handmade bunnies from Love Ling Z are so magical, so extraordinary and so wonderful that they must go to a home where they would be cherished like the fabulous little works of art that they are.

Here is a fabulous gift idea for someone you love. A coffee cup with that little rascal poking his head out, like you see below. Do you want to make someone smile? It's as easy as that.

If you'd like to be entered to win one of these little darlings please like this post on Facebook or comment below. And, because I must give her some sort of chance, if you'd like to see Grace take home the coveted prize, let me know and I will enter her name as well. This contest closes in twenty four hours.

Grace and Form

This piece is bright and fun and not like me at all. I like it for Grace's room, though. It suits her, just fine. What style suits you?
You know how I always tell you that need to own original art? Well, I do. Original artwork is probably the only safe investment left but that's not the reason why I think you should be hanging original pieces in your home. I want you to know what it is like to be moved by something someone created. I want you to feel like you've decided what you'll display in your home rather than choosing what the big box store tells you you should display. I want you to find an artist that makes you feel like my favorite artists make me feel. I want your children to know that you value what people create  with their hands.

Grace and Form is my latest discovery. The artist hooked me with that haunting acrylic painting of the moon. (I half wondered if she forgot to add another zero to that price, too!) I am always drawn to darkness. I wonder what that says about me? Either way, I knew I needed to have it. I love it so much. Do you feel like that about a piece of art in your home? Please comment below.

I could stare at this for hours. In fact, I am sure I will. It's got texture, too, which doesn't transfer so well in the photo. Everything about this painting suits me. Does it suit you? Or are you a little brighter like the one up top?

Maybe you have a wedding to go to and you can't bear to look through the tired registry or maybe there is someone on your Christmas list that would adore these dishes like I do. Either way Her Moments is here to free you from buying factory made duplicates of things you don't need or want. 

This lovely artist produces some of the most whimsical and feminine jewelry and dishes we've seen to date. She's been kind enough to send me those little husband and wife cat dishes you see below. 
I know you want them. I want them, too, but I'm going to let them go to one of you. I'll sooth the pain as soon as I buy that owl plate. How cute is that? I must own it. 

Okay, back to the giveaway. You know the drill, by now, right? 'Like' this post on Facebook or comment below to entered. This contest closes in twenty four hours. Good Luck!

Sitting on my desk at school is my version of the personalized desk pad you see here. I've carefully added all my appointments in the color coded system I like to use. It's perfect.

I almost fell of my desk chair when someone set their coffee down on it earlier this week but luckily it didn't leave a mark. No matter, really, I could simply rip that page off the pad and start fresh on the page below. There are enough pages to last years and years. I won't be buying a calendar for a long time thanks to Paper K Studios.

I will also be adding her to my favorites list because just look at those sweet personalized notebooks and Halloween Labels. Her shop is full of adorable designs that you can customize to your taste. You can set up your office, home and get your children ready for school in one spot.

If you'd like to be entered into a draw to win a package of Paper K Studio's recipe cards please like this post on Facebook or comment below. This contest closes in twenty four hours. Good Luck!

Swan Jay

The tremendously sweet Frankenstein's monster hat drew me in but the excellent handmade knits kept me around.  Swan Jay is the creator and I get the feeling she might be one of those people we all aspire to be. You know the type, right? Talented, kind, charitable and funny enough to appreciate that every kid needs a hat like this, and likely a few adults do, too.

Fret not, she has adult sizes, too. But, before you shop for yourself, isn't there a little one you know that could rock that Frankenstein hat this year? That's what I thought.

Now, one of these hats sits safely on Ninja Kate's head this morning (she'll likely be sleeping in it, too) but I have another for one of you.

If you're like me and you live for Halloween you are going to be pretty excited to find Pumpkin Teeth. No, pumpkin shall be the same now that we can give them grins to scare the pants off of our guests. The best part: they glow in the dark! No more carving out random chunks of pumpkin to form a lopsided mouth. Now, you can give your jack-o-lantern personality with a grill full of fangs or even chicklet type teeth if you're pumpkin is less a carnivore and more a friendly kind of guy.

A set of these teeth are not going to cost you as much as your morning coffee so get on it. I expect every house we visit to be showcasing some pretty great jack-o-lanterns this year. In fact, I think we'll hold a little contest. I'll be posting GoTeamKate's pumpkins complete with pumpkin teeth nearer Halloween and you can post yours, too. The winner will receive a prize.

Speaking of prizes! I have a few sets of these teeth to give away. 'Like' this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered. This contest closes in twenty four hours. Good Luck!

Lip Lap

How genius is this? Granted, it's not usually a tea cup I am aiming to balance on the arm of my couch. How many of you have quickly set your red wine down on the couch arm to quickly deal with some disturbance or another, only to have it tip with just the vibration of a footstep or two? The lip lap has just changed your life!

 Do you want to know what's even cooler than all that. The designer, creator and shop owner is a seventeen year old boy from Estonia.

When I was seventeen, I was certainly not designing wonderful products like this. I was too busy volunteering at the hospital...no? too nurturing to be believable...soup kitchen....no? Ok, I was too busy hanging out behind the bowling alley. I am trying to make up for that severe apathy now. Enough about my misspent youth and back to this amazing product.

Lip Lap is the name of the shop and if you are looking for the gift for someone who has everything, this brilliant item might be the key. If you'd like to win one please 'like' this post on Facebook AND comment your favorite cartoon below (Just to see if you are paying attention). This contest closes in twenty four hours. Good Luck!
