Etsy + Holiday Cards

I don't know about you but I could spend hours days on Etsy and with the holidays right around the corner I've spending even more time than usual hunting for fun homemade + unique gifts to give to my loved ones. Especially now that everyone is older and scratching their heads on what they really want. Turns out my 30 and 28 year old brothers don't want Lego's, Hot Wheels or a G.I. Joe doll! Who knew?!

My most recent search lead me to these adorable hand-made cards by Ashley Pahl.

Merry Christmas || Cocoa and Candy Canes || Peace on Earth || Happy 2013

Let me tell you, I'm obsessed.
Not only does Ashley have a holiday collection but you can also find birthday cards, love cards, friendship cards and just because cards.
All of which are just as fabulous.
So if you are in the market for this year's holiday cards Ashley's shop is the perfect place to find what you need!

Long Time, No See

I can't even begin to describe how terrible I feel for being such a bad blogger lately.
Between being super busy at work and unfortunately feeling a little uninspired I just couldn't come up with material I was happy sharing.
Have any of you ever felt that way? It's definitely not fun and made me sad to be away.
But I'm happy to say I'm feeling 100% again.

So here's a little peek of what was happening during my time away:

Added a fun liner to my vanity. Finally received official business cards after my promotion.
Met my best friends new puppy, Puck. Started a new pretty collection.

Made a much needed trip to the hair salon [went dark for fall+winter]. Picked up a few pretty studs perfect for the holidays.
Admired a beautiful chapel and spent time with some of my favorite girls at a very special wedding.

Lately I've been loving the classic combo of black and white.
I was inspired by this room  and after stumbling upon a new favorite shop, Sosie, my shopping bag is now full of wishlist items.
With so many options available in every style you are sure to find a dress, top, or skirt you will adore.
If you haven't been pop on over; it's heaven wrapped up in a website.
