Over the Hump Day Honey

Here's a few Thursday goodies that will get your creative juices flowing AND XauXau is having a wonderful giveaway on her blog that you just have to enter AND Jess Gonacha is getting married (like right now) - YIPPEE - so there is alot going on this week!

Also I should mention the thermometer registered 112 degrees in the unairconditioned shop where I solder yesterday, so you can sort of imagine the horror of that.

I should also mention that when I told Alise of XauXau that I could only mention her giveaway if it was NOT her body in those amazing crochet bikinis she sells (yes, I am exactly that kind of girl) - she could not understand why I would say this which tells me that 1. She is very, very nice and 2. That is her body in those bikinis (although she denies this) *sigh*




Anika Mari's sewn leaves



Sophy Robson's gradient nails - love this idea (haven't polished in years)



Urban Outfitters Chunky necklaces - think big with your fall designs



Rebecca Taylor's fall line - awesomeness


Peppermint Daydreams AMAZING illustrations and she has a locket




Coveting a new bike bag (which is literally putting the cart before the horse since Sherry Truitt's post on 4 bikes per person in her household has me thinking I need at least one that isn't a rusty heap) - aren't these bags just pure awesomeness? Purpurin Bike Bags, DNTX Bike Bags, Swiss Army Bike Bags by SHMattson and BoneShakerBags.




Happy Other Side of the Hump Day

Here are a few more lovelies from my 'gimme' collection of the things I love that you won't want to miss:

The amazing tea dresses of Louise Hedley of Sohomode, the stunning fabrics of Angela Adams , the totally inspiring illustrations of Jess Gonacha, Lovers Chairs in Hyde Park (ain't they sweet!) and the very cool sky planters of Boskke (not sure my plants want to live upside down, but how awesome are these!).

I love to check out all the amazing collections that people upload onto Flickr including this vintage pin and beer can collection (kinda makes me wish I'd let hubby save those old beer cans - well, sort of ... he's not really old enough to have collected any of the really cool ones anyway... although he was known to throw a few back in grade school).

You are NOT a Loser ... (I am pretty sure)

OK- so I have some serious blog goodies to be given away on four blogs right now- that's right you are not seeing in quadruple - I said FOUR!

I know this is going to take you a few minutes to enter all of these, but these little lockets used to be cars (or car parts actually) and I think it would be worth a few minutes to win a car (uhm... part), right?!

Plus entering all four of these has got to increase your chances of winning, by what, at least a gazillion percent, right? I mean, if you enter all four of these and you don't win anything, well, I mean that still wouldn't exactly make you a loser ... but I would start to worry about you a little bit....

1. Noelle over at Xenotees in giving away my Kendra Zvonik Locket
2. Jen at IndixFix is giving away my Jess Gonacha Locket
3. Tia at CleverGirlGoesBlog is giving away my Unconventional Ida Locket
4. The amazing Helene at Helene's Dreams is giving away my Dilka Bear Locket


You gotta be in it, to win it, people!

Artist Collaboration Lockets


I am so excited about my new artist collaboration Polarity locket series. I had made some lockets for Jennifer Mullin with her amazing collages (her locket launches this weekend) at Christmas time and when Kendra Zvonik ordered a locket from me, I could not resist including some locket lids made from her work. Kendra was very excited and gave me the kick in the pants I sometimes need to start something new!

This week the first 8 lockets were listed in my Polarity shop and they are all totally amazing and totally different! I will be talking to one of the artists each week starting next week, so we can all get to know them a little better.

During the month of April any order of one of these lockets will include a FREE set of 3 extra lids- so you will have 6 lockets in 1! Here they are, in no particular order:

The amazing Stephanie Fizer is a curious girl and astonishing illustrator living in lovely but misunderstood West Virginia. We are so lucky to have THREE of her sweet Kokeshis for a locket!

Kirsten Cram is the amazing artist behind the creations of Tollipop. Her drawings are mostly about children who are lost in thought, the kind who daydream and press their noses against the glass. Little spectators with imaginary friends and sometimes the whole world on their minds, but experiencing the magic of childhood nonetheless. We are so lucky to have Kirsten's What Page Are You On and Jumprope Girl for a locket!

K, the amazing artist behind Unconventional Ida has created the gorgeous Ida, her townspeople, enchanted forests and the monsters that inhabit her world. We are so lucky to have her beautiful Katarina and Ellen the Daydreamer artwork for a locket!

Dilka of Dilkabear is an amazing Italian artist whose work is pure gorgeous fantasy! We are so lucky to have her beautiful Amelie in the Magical Forest and Dandelion Girl artwork for a locket!

Christy Zaragoza is the incredible mad scientist behind the creations of Peppermint Daydreams. Growing up, Christy tended to bond more with insects and imaginary creatures than children her own age. Little has changed since then and we are glad because her creations are totally amazing. We are so lucky to have Christy's Zebra Vision and The Low Tide for a locket!

Jessica Doyle is an incredible Canadian artist whose work is whimsically detailed and painstakingly created. She loves mini. Being able to hold something in the palm of her hand is just, well, precious to her! We are so lucky to have her gorgeous Sassy Sea Urchin and pretty fish George artwork for a locket!

Jess Gonacha works in a variety of mediums and her artwork is vibrant and quirky, delightful and full of soulful imaginings! We are so lucky to have her gorgeous Bird Lady and Backyard Swing artwork for your locket!

Kendra Zvonik is an incredibly bold and stunning Florida artist
who has recently created a new series of original works in her affordable abstract art gallery expressly for Etsy. We are so lucky to have three of her gorgeous paintings for a locket!
