Can I tell you what is exciting me about Jan’s new market? The theme. She just launched the new Spring edition {celebrating Spring and everything hippity-hop} and so here’s to all of us feeling a little bit warmer soon {hopefully very soon}…
The Spring+ Easter Arts and Crafts Fair runs today through April 9, 2010.
Jena is someone who I really admire. She is extremely creative and is the editor behind Modish and owner of Miss Modish Vintage shop. Not only does she have fun thrifted finds, she is adorable {and I keep telling her so}…

If only you knew how often I check Suzie’s shop to see what new bag she’s whipped up. The latest addition to BEES’NETTA is The Day Labourer in Fig…
Thing is, I also still adore this bag in its Courier Blue and Rosemary versions…
So many bags, so little time.

Oh, man. I think these totes and prints by Wayne Pate are pretty swell…

You know how I love the sweet-yet-sassy {and downright naughty} line of clothing and jewelry that Locher’s designs. Now add to that their new collection of purses, lipstick and iPhone cases. Still fun. Still sassy. Best part is that you can choose the saying you like best to go on the purse or case your mischievous little heart desires {follow the links to better see what they say}…

I’ll start this post with an apology. I really do hope that I do not offend anyone who will be hitting malls or stores with huge sales. I know people that do this and it’s fine by me if that’s their {or your thing}. For me, getting in line the night before or at midnight for the famous day after Thanksgiving sales is just not my idea of fun. I can’t deal with the crowds and there really isn’t anything I need or want that badly anyway. I understand that maybe if I had children the story would be different. Anyway, the kind of shopping I would be up for is the kind where I could shop indie and be in my pajamas as I’m saving. Here are some of the places that you can find some great deals at to kick-start your holiday shopping…
