Lauren Mollica
Apr 29th
Those of you that know me well know that I’m a jewelry hoarder. I tend to wear long necklaces that have a charm on the end. My favorite are owls. I have a million owl necklaces.
The problem is that I have so many necklaces and no place to hang them or keep them organized. My problems are solved now that I have found Lauren Mollica though. At Lauren Mollica you’ll find jewelry and displays that can accommodate almost all your accessories. My favorite item is the sweeping tree organizer. I’m swooning hardcore for this one. It’s amazing! I have a wall in my bedroom right now that has been begging for something on it and this finally might be the piece I’ve been looking for.
Don’t let the price turn you away. This is handcrafted! That means it was made with love and special care. A person made that! It was not made in a factory. That’s why I love handmade.

It’s late but I’d be a damn fool to not share this awesomeness with you. Which awesomeness may that be? Why Jo Arty Jo!
I love the coloring books. I want a few of the prints but I especially have my eye on the ACEO cupcake. Yeah, so? I’m a cupcake lover. If it has an owl, a cupcake, or is absolutely insanely unique I’m down. The minute I saw this cupcake I had to have it. Too bad my bank account says I can’t. One day I will though! Oh yes, one day it will be mine!
Damn I found another cuppy cake I want too now. I’m doomed! When I’m rich and famous Bethenny Frankel style I’ll buy 10 of these and share with you. Promise!
The CraftStar

Have you heard of The CraftStar? If not you better get with it!
The CraftStar is a brand new venue for handmade lovers! Sure you might already have your favorite handmade websites bookmarked but I assure you this site sounds like it’s going to be a hit. It’s set to launch any day now and the buzz is getting louder and louder. I’ve watched the site go from 5 thousand followers to nearly 10 thousand in a mere two weeks! That’s a whole lot of steam!
Ever since Baligate sellers and buyers alike are jumping off the Etsy ship. A lot of people don’t want to be invested into a place that doesn’t care about what handmade truly means. Don’t believe me? Go read Regretsy!
For now follow them on their Facebook page and participate in all the fun. Today’s color of the day is orange. Every seller following them is busy posting their orange items for the world to see. Do you have something to add to the fun? These earrings are from Lovely Luxe Jewels.

If you’re looking for something awesome for your mom this Mother’s Day you need to visit Queen of De Tile… like YESTERDAY!
Queen of De Tile is the brain child of Kim Keane, one of handmade’s newest. The shop features modern handmade ceramic coasters in a fun variety of styles. It opened in March of 2012 and they are are already well on their way to being part of the cream of the crop. Almost 25 sales in a month!
My favorite set of coasters is the Cherry Blossom coasters. I love how the turquoise pops off the screen! I can only imagine how these would look like in my home. There’s pretty much something for everyone. The best part? You can get a set of 4 coasters for under $20 and that includes shipping. Don’t see something that catches your eye? They accept custom orders! Go take a peek and tell them I sent you.
Gudonya Too

My shower is seriously lacking. This is what happens when you become unemployed though. I just don’t have the luxury of buying whatever I want. I’m used to having a shower over flowing with soaps, creams, and smelly good stuff. I look forward to that day again!
One of my first bath purchases will most certainly be from Gudonya Too. I go geeky for their Whipped Clean. Forget that ordinary body wash. Try this! Grab your bath pouf and you’ve got enough bubbles and aroma for a car wash!
Why is it called Whipped Clean? That’s easy – it looks like whipped cream but that phrase was already taken. It’s a pretty solid mixture that lathers easily in the hardest of waters and is kind to your skin. I think the Strawberry Fields Whipped Clean looks great so that’s the one I’d snag for myself.
Oh, and don’t let me forget to mention that this is Vegan friendly! Go Vegan!
