Bella Rose

Bella Rose is a great shop that I just discovered on etsy that sells darling handmade greeting cards, gift tags and scrapbooking items. I especially love the Scrapbooks in a Tin... a 2 inch round tin that holds a little 10-page scrapbook on colorful pretty designs. Perfect to keep in your purse or pocket with those special pictures of your loved ones! Don't have the time but think this is a great idea? Email her your pictures and she will print, crop and mount them onto the mini scrapbooks for an additional $5. Check out more of her handcrafted goodies HERE.

Nea Blossoms

If you are like many people during the holiday season, you send out Christmas and Holiday cards at this time of the year. Since I am trying to Buy Handmade this season as much as possible, I have found some really beautiful handcrafted holiday cards on the web. Some of my favorites are the original designs of Nea Blossoms. Simple yet elegant, these would be a wonderful way to send warm wishes to all your loved ones. I also love the cute gift tags...what a perfect way to add a final touch to your wrapped presents. Now, if I could just get myself motivated to start writing those cards....

Go Ahead, Speak Your Mind

So, I have come across a lot of products and goods in the nine months that I have been writing this blog and none have made me laugh aloud like these fabulously clever notecards by Just Another Day. Customizable by you so you can tell that um...special person exactly what you think of them, I especially love the card's simple and elegant design, lettering and lovely brown envelope and then...wham...the inside can be as rude, funny or crude as you want it to be. How I wish I had one of these when I quit my last job! The card above would have been great or, if you aren't quite so bold, one that simply said "I quit" for example. Oh, the possibilities are endless!! Now, lest you think I just have evil in my head...the bonjour card (pictured below) would be perfect for my french speaking father-in-law. 4 custom cards are only $7.50. However, considering the look that might cross the recipient's face, I'd say that's a bargain. No better yet, Priceless.
