// meet the shopkeep…wind & willow home

it’s meet the shopkeep time!  one of the things that i love about doing these pop-up shops, is that i get to connect & talk with all the shopkeeps.  araya (awesome name, right?!) is such a sweetheart and has been such fun to work with…and i think her fun shows in her work.

i remember coming across her wooden bowls awhile back (i’m sure it was on one of my many etsy explorations!) then i realized i kept posting and/or pinning her work because she’s got such a great sense of color and it’s just so cool against the wood.  i want to have a carnival party and have her mini painted bowls everywhere!

(and btw…don’t you love her idea of success??  so spot on…yet somehow easier said than done!!)

{and we’re home!}

happy friday everyone!  can you believe that next weekend is christmas??  i’ve been a busy bee playing santa and shipping out lots of boxes & gifts – the only downside to this is that i’m pretty sure i’ve wasted about 2/3 of my life waiting in line at the post office. (and i know, i know, i need to get the post office to come to my house – apparently they’ll do that!)

i can’t help but be super excited about this week’s city guide.  marcus & i were laughing that there’s something anti-climatic about ending the 60 days of wanderlust tour in cleveland (i mean, come on, who wouldn’t schedule a trip to london, cape town and the cleve!! :)  but honestly cleveland’s got some cool – and those of us that live here are unabashedly die hard clevelanders – we love our city!

so to have brian from grey cardigan & charity from i heart cleveland sharing their fave spots in our hometown is a treat!  grey cardigan is one my favorite artists out there – his work just fits me!  it’s witty, colorful & dapper!   and then charity writes THE blog to go to for all things cleveland – she shows all the amazing things cleveland has to offer!  and i just adore the line of cards her studio chartreuse just released…check ‘em out here!

make sure to check out their guides – i think you’ll be surprised!  and i thought i’d add in with a few of my local gift picks including modern pixie jewelry <3<3!! (marcus got me a necklace from her last year for my birthday – i’m a fan!!)

next week, i’ll share my own fave spots in cleveland!  have a wonderful weekend everyone – enjoy all the holiday festivities!

{gift guide round up}

happy friday!!  i’m still trying to get on board with the fact that it’s december…and there’s only 3 weeks left until christmas! are you guys just starting holiday shopping or have you finished?  i’m one of the “just starting” folks!  (and yes, every year i say that i’m going to shop early – never happens)

so i thought i’d compile a couple of my favorite gift guides out right now to help out with gift ideas. i stuck to ones that are in magazine form – but there are so many awesome gift ideas on blogs too – and i’ve said it before, i loves me a gift guide!!  (not sure why, maybe i’m related to santa claus :)

next week, i’ll have my own picks for gifts from my store & other places!  have a lovely december weekend!!
