*mmmm....sweet!*

{a dessert cookbook (my favorite kind of cookbook!) i found recently called sweet treats...each sweet has been given a "w". it's so unique and everything looks so very good! you can purchase it here...or at least look at more pictures...}

*highlights cont.*

{i was blown away by brown parcel press...her work was amazing. it was so simplistic...and it all felt very organic to me...i loved it! she had these Christmas cards that caught my eye...i kept coming back to her booth saying...i love all of these! i finally ended up buying that Christmas card....but i couldn't just buy one..i got the set!}

{loved christy wooke...there were legs...birds...hedgehogs...houses...you name it...

she had hand drawn them onto these adorable wooden pins. i think these would make cute stocking stuffers for adults and children!}

*seeing red*

{love this pillow...would be perfect to add to the sofa for the Christmas season...}

*ICE Holiday 2009 highlights*

{on saturday, my aunt and i made a trip to the ICE Holiday show downtown. we had a blast! there were so many amazing vendors there..we actually had to walk around the whole show first...taking cards from the booths we wanted to come back and revisit...then we made our second trip around and decided on our purchases. besides the 20 plus beehive vendors there...i knew some others that i had seen and admired before...but there were some new ones this year that i had never heard of...ones that i was so excited about...two of them were....}

{pop + shorty...who made some fab-tastic cards...loved them all...especially the one above...they also had this fun fortune teller for 4.00....such a fun gift to give!}

{check out their site here...}

{then there was mogo...i could have bought her whole table! i loved everything she had...from the awesome pencil boxes...to her cell phone cleaners! uber talented...fun...creative and modern...}

{i loved these ring boxes....the car design above is also made into their very own one of a kind fabric that they make coin purses and other items out of....}

{this cute bear was made into a storage box...it was also super cute as one of their pins...

and rings!}

{oh do i have more to share....but i'll wait until tomorrow to show you the rest....hope you all had a great weekend!!}

*thrown into the mix*

{another project that's been added to the "to do" list. this butterfly wreath is going to be auctioned off at the Decatur Holiday Marketplace...it's of course not finished..it's going to be painted and that isn't it...i have some ideas up my sleeve on how to incorporate some patterns to those poor bare butterflies...hopefully my ideas work out and the wreath will be auction ready by the 4th of december...wish me luck!}

*look what i won!*

{i entered a giveaway on bkids last week...for this party package from Vintage Paper Parade ...and I won it! it's 30 cards, envelopes, tags and cupcake toppers! isn't it cute? gosh...now i'm going to have to plan a party! hehe....so excited that i won!}

*ribbon badge tutorial*

{hey...check out designing moms's website for the "make" on this ribbon badge i created. it's perfect for birthday parties...but can be used for adding some personalization to a gift... i thought these would be neat just to dress up a shelf, bulletin board, put in a frame to hang on the wall...oh there's a lot you can do with these...have fun!}

*fresh picks*

{just some new fabrics that i picked up...i'm in love with the hot pink and blue fabric on the left...the polka dot and gingham will become bows...i think..we'll see.}

*mimi..molly..daisy..ginger*

{okay...these dolls are just way too cute and their little friends just kill me...too sweet! my favorites are mimi and daisy. feeling crafty? you can buy the kits to create these precious dolls and get this...the kit includes their sweet little friends too! check them out at the red thread...great for Christmas Gifts or Stocking Stuffers!!!!}

*no more red snowflakes*

{as of right now...this shirt is NO longer available. i am so bummed! the fabric that i use for the boy's snowflake is discontinued and NO ONE has any left. i've read online that amy butler is having it reprinted because it's so popular...but it won't be available until the end of this month. i have preordered some...so i'm hoping i get it before the holiday season is over! this shirt is very popular this season and i hate that i have to remove it from my shop!! Sorry!!! if you are interested in this shirt...let me know and i can let you know as soon as i get some more fabric! email me at plumtreestudio@gmail.com.}

*walking on clouds*

{something else came early....a Christmas gift!! i got a new pair of slippers! well they are a little different then your typical slippers. i saw these at the gap store this weekend and knew they needed to come home with me. b had me try one on in the store...big mistake...after trying them on...i so badly wanted to walk around the mall in them. my feet are always cold..no matter if i have socks on or if they are under the covers...they are cold. these new slippers have solved that problem...no more cold feet! looking for new slippers..try these on...they might be what you are looking for!!}

*the little one came early...*

{i wanted to congratulate my friends stacey and joe on the birth of their precious baby boy! he was born on saturday (my sister's birthday)...a little early (her due date was the 8th of december). we are so beyond excited for them!!}

{we are also very excited because their little one will be similar in age to our little one (when we bring him or her home next year)!! so little c will have little j to play and grow up with!!}

{stone by monkey's jewels}

*it's your day!*

i love it (mine's in grey) and it's perfect for fall/winter!
