...these are a few of my favorite things.....

The Nester had posted a linky this week asking bloggers to 

put together a post of their favorite things/gifts.  I began the post

and then the week just got crazy and I never finished in time to link

but still wanted to share with all of you nonetheless.

First up, Beth Quinn Designs.  I met Beth at Junk Bonanza a couple years

ago and besides being a sweetheart, she makes beautifully inspiring jewelry.

I recently wanted to give a special group of girlfriends here in 

Portland a little something to commemorate our friendship.  

I contacted Beth and she made five custom pieces 

and mailed them to me in less than a week!

How awesome is that?!

The Elde shop on Etsy sells hand crocheted and knitted items to 

keep you warm and cozy in the winter months!  I love these fingerless

gloves!

I have a wardrobe of cuff bracelets thanks to my good friend

Becky from Farmgirl Paints!  I love to wear inspiration on my wrist!

I recently came across Michelle V Custom Leather Jewelry
on Etsy and fell in love with the verses and inspirational passages that
she includes on her leather cuffs.  She offers lots of custom options.
{shhh.....} someone on my list is getting a Michelle V creation!

Anything with a monogram always sets my heart aflutter!  I love

these embroidered monogram pendants....adorable.  They

are from Etsy seller 'the merriweather council'.

So, are you done with your shopping yet?  I am doing pretty good but
am not done yet.  We don't even have our tree up yet!  We have
four basketball games and two soccer games this weekend so looks
like the tree will have to wait till a free evening next week. All part of
life with active kids!
Have a fabulous weekend friends!
