So, my good friend Kelly Brooks just let me know she has a new website. She's a fantastic artist and I definitely want people to know about her work. Please check her website at www.kelbrooks.net and you will see all her cool stuff. Here are some samples:

TopShop Shoes

Dear Kris,

When I come to visit you in England, I think we need to stop by TopShop and try on some shoes. These are just delightful and would be reasonably priced if the pound-to-dollar conversion rate weren't so poor. I might still be tempted, though.

1. High Instep Mary Janes for £55

2. Patent Flat High Leg Boots for £90

3. Flat Canvas Pump for a mere £15

And my favorite, 4. Mid-Height T-Bar for £55 (It also comes in red!)

An Etsy Christmas!

So my husband is pretty smart. He checks this blog for ideas for Christmas and he's also pretty good at searching through Etsy for gifts as well. Here are his etsy finds for me this year and I couldn't be happier!

M Stevenson Designs - Secret Garden Multi-Color Earrings

Electrofork - Silver Plate Art Nouveau Style Pendant Necklace

And a blog entry a couple months ago, Le Photique - Chicago Skyline Necklace

These are just a package of little decorative tags. I tied two of them together and made an elegant bookmark (so now my books wear pearls!). You can also use them for scrapbooking or a tag on a gift or whatever.
Memrie Mare - Charcoal Pearl Berry Tags

The New Stevester - Three Color Orchids T-Shirt

As you can see, it was a pretty fun Christmas. =)
