Monday, Monday, so good to me...

Well goodness. 

Anyone else feel like vomiting up a few sticks of butter after this past holiday weekend? 

No? 

Well, let's just say I made Paula Deen pretty proud. During the cooking process on Thursday, I had to ration the amount of butter that we were cooking with because EVERYTHING called for butter and we simply were going to run out. 

Four sticks and one tub of butter later and I look a few months pregnant.

But what is Thanksgiving without butter? And what is the Thanksgiving holiday weekend without shopping till we drop. Or shopping online until your wrists are a little sore from the odd angle of your laptop. 

As most of you know...I am an artisan. I make jewelry for a living and have been doing so for over three years. I love creating new items and sharing my handmade goodies with brides, husbands looking for anniversary presents and ladies just treating themselves. 

Get your holiday shopping started off right with awesome, well-made, handmade jewelry. I use sterling silver, 14K gold, freshwater pearls, swarovski crystals, gemstones and lots of unique vintage charms and lockets. Everything I use is nickel and lead free, so you won't turn your skin green or get a rash. 

Until Tuesday night, I am having a 20% off sale on everything in both of my etsy stores!! 

You can buy this sweet monogrammed necklace with you and your loved ones initials. 

Only $22.00 after 20% off!

 

Or perhaps a personalized wax seal necklace charm is more your style?

$18.40 after the 20% discount!

So please, take advantage of this great sale and support me, an artisan. 

Happy shopping!

Oh, How Pinteresting...

This week seems to have gotten away from me. I feel a few days behind on all my work stuff, housecleaning and personal things, including this lovely little blog. 

(You don't even want to know about the massive pile of laundry that I have had sitting on my floor for the past three days. I'm going to give it one more day to figure out how to fold itself, then I suppose I will give in and do it myself).

For the past two Wednesday's, I have shared some of my favorite items discovered on/pinned to Pinterest from that week. Since I didn't do it yesterday, and I still want to show you guys some cool things I found, I am going to go ahead and double-back and do it today. So, let's all just pretend that I did this yesterday and kept with my usual schedule.

High Five For Friday

Happy Friday Everyone!! I am linking up with Lauren at the 'From My Grey Desk' blog to feature five things that I am excited about on this wonderful Friday!

one.

I discovered the most beautiful neighborhood about two miles from where I currently live. In the last 24 hours, I have walked my puppy through it three times and each time I feel all creepy because I am just stopping to stare at all the architure/amazing landscapes. 

It has seriously become my dream neighborhood. I am planning on taking my camera there sometime in the next few days to show you guys how amazing these houses are. 

I saw a 'for sale' sign in the front yard of one and went online once I got home to check it out and gasped at the price tag .... $750,000. 

I told my husband he better be studying really hard for the next month for his law school exams. 

two.

These shoes....

one / two / three

I bought these three shoes online from Target yesterday. Thanks to a gift card from Christmas, a 50% off shoe sale, and free shipping.... all three of these babies only cost me $4.00. 

$4.00 for three pairs of shoes!!!

three. 

My husband found out that he is going to be on the mock trial team for his law school next year. He had the try-outs last weekend and did awesome. They only accepted 16 first year students and him and his bff are two of them. I am pretty darn proud of him. 

four. 

Since my husband is busy studying for his law school finals, I have complete control over the netflix queue. These came in the mail yesterday...

Oh yeah....I've got big plans this weekend.

five.

The puppy and I have gone into some quite intense training sessions this week and I think we might be making progress. I think I have taught him 'turn-around' (walking around in a circle) and now he can lay down and roll over and speak pretty well. 

Besides being cute, he might actually be somewhat smart too. 

Happy Friday Everyone!!

High Five For Friday!

So...I love this blog - From My Grey Desk - and I thought that I would link up them for a new segment I am planning on doing each Friday on my blog, 'High Five For Friday.'

It is going to be where I share five things I am excited about on Friday. 

Five exciting things...HIGH FIVE....get it, get it? Hardy hardy har. 

Alright, enough with the jokes, lets get started. 

1) THE HUNGER GAMES.

  Alright, probably ALL of you are sick and tired about everyone, everywhere talking about this movie/book series. I get it. I totally do. When Twi-Hards start going nuts every October/November for the newest movie, I get a little cranky and pompous talking about how silly those books are. I usually avoid the latest book craze like the plague 

(I am just starting the whole Harry Potter series now. I know, right? I am about 10 years behind the curve on this one). 

But for real guys, I liked the Hunger Games a lot and am pretty pumped about it. I didn't think though that I was going to see it anytime soon with it being sold out everywhere and my husband studying all the time for law school. It seems to appear though that I pretty much have the sweetest husband in the world because this morning he bought me tickets for the movie today. 

TODAY! 

Hip Hip Hooray!!

2) This superhero...

I love springtime in Georgia, but the pollen action that is currently going down here is ridiculous. Atlanta (and the south in general) is having one of the most pollen producing springs on record, and the apartment complex that we live in seems to be ground zero for this action. 

After about a week of procrastinating, I finally went to the grocery store at 7am this morning after getting zero sleep due to congestion and picked up a 30 day supply of this wonder drug. It's only been a few hours since my first dose and I can actually function again. 

Thank you Claritin, thank you.

3) These shoes...

If I didn't have to eat this month, I would love to purchase these shoes. Pretty sure though I would injure myself, my husband or my puppy if I owned these. 

4) This commercial...

Around the :15-16 mark, you see a little blond girl sitting at a table, dancing with her arms in the air. She is totally the doppelganger for my little niece. Every single time they show this on Hulu, I freak out and exclaim to whoever is around (usually my puppy) how much that looks like Ella. 

5) Jessie J's Curl Cream

I received this hair cream in my Birchbox this week and I am in love with it so far. I have only used it twice, but it is the best stuff that I have ever used to help my curly hair stay curly and not crunchy. I have to use a lot since my hair is so thick, but once my deluxe sample is done, I will probably buy some more (despite the $32 price tag. Yikes!)

If you don't know what birchbox is and want to find out or you want to sign up (you should, it is only $10 a month and super awesome), click here for more info!

So those are the five things I am loving today. Link up at 'From My Grey Desk' and share what you are digging today!
