Happy Wednesday Lovelies! I’m so excited to share with you more of my 2012 Spring Ever So Lovely Jewelry Collection. These little beauties have become my pride and joy and are 100% made by yours truly so you are getting one of a kind handmade accessories, unlike those huge chain stores! I’ve got more styles in store, and they’ll be posted soon, but here are some of my favorites so far. Oh and if you have sensitive ears…don’t worry! All of these earrings are set on Nickel Free and Lead Free posts so you’re ears will be as happy as you are when you wear them! And if you’re wondering how large these are on your ear, check out the photo below.

Happy Tuesday Lovelies! I ran across this amazing video for Josh Ritter’s song “Love is Making Its Way Back Home” over on Etsy’s blog today and oh my goodness what a visual spectacle it is! It took over 12,000 pieces of construction paper to create this night time drive and a team of twenty directors, editors, artists and assistants to get the video to where it is now. How amazing is this design just to create four minutes of paper animation? Amazing we say!

Happy Saturday Lovelies! I discovered these beautiful designs by Dallas, Texas label Neema Designs. Vanita Weithers is the talented designer who creates these pretty scarves and I think you all will fall in love them. The Candy Corn design (pictured 3rd and below not twisted) and the Ocean Blue / Calm Seas (pictured second and below not twisted) are two of our favorite designs.

With spring just around the corner and warmer weather edging closer to our wardrobe, these lightweight cotton jersey designs will allow you to keep scarves around 24/7. Not only are these designs super cute, they are also versatile allowing you to create multiple looks with a simple twist!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My! Santa Ana, California couple Christine & Mark-Anthony Rice have some pretty awesome creatures roaming about in their shop named mahzer and vee! I’m pretty much considering putting several of their faux taxidermy designs in my home because 1) they are so cool, 2) they are cruelty free and 3) they are just plain awesome! I absolutely LOVE the wolf and bear designs and the moose they have listed. Not only is the detail amazing but the fact that all of these designs are white means they will work with any room’s paint color! Along with their line of large faux wall hangings, they also have some brightly colored smaller creatures (we love the little green parakeet they have!!!) in case these larger designs don’t fit your design needs.

Happy Valentine’s Day Lovelies! I hope each and every one of you has the best day ever today regardless of your relationship status! I’m feeling pretty excited since I’m working on a new line of bird paintings for the shop. Here is one of the first and I really love it. My husband was really excited when he saw this little guy too, so much so that he said…”Baby, that is a 10 out of 10 painting!” Needless to say, that made my day. And if you want to know when these little guys will debut in the Ever So Lovely shop, be sure to like us on Facebook for future announcements!

You all know how much we love vintage typewriters, especially pink ones right? Well take a look at these adorable handmade tiny typewriter brooches in pink and purple by Bulgarian design studio Green Accordion!
