glockenspiel.

My girls both experienced a glockenspiel for the first time in their Kindermusik classes. They LOVED them, but until now, I

a: didn't know how to spell glockenspiel and

b: had no idea where to find one.

Imagine my surprise when I happened upon this little beauty. I can hardly wait to surprise them for Christmas. They will love the addition to their instrument collection and I will love the clear sweet tone, that is much milder than some of their current favorites.

happy chickadee.

With so many different boutiques out there it is really refreshing to come across one like happy chickadee. They've combined hand made and boutique designer clothing and accessories for little girls ages 0-4. And while boutiques for little girls abound, happy chickadee has designs and a selection I haven't found anywhere else. The color combinations are fresh, the designs are new the selection hand picked and in my opinion pretty much perfect. 

Started by two mothers... "they wanted to find a spot that specialized in just girls clothes. So they went about trying to find the best, most hip and fresh girls boutique out there. But it wasn't to be found. Each mom had visions of their ideal online boutique and when combined, Happy Chickadee came to be."

You'll be glad they combined their ideas and vision, because the outcome is brilliant. The softest of fabrics, high quality and unlike clothes you'll see everywhere else. The perfect addition to your holiday shopping.

cnk designs jewelry {giveaway!}

For whatever reason I am drawn to hand stamped jewelry. I love it. I could stare at it all day. I don't know if it is because I love the look of it or if it is because I love that each design has meaning, but whatever the reason, my latest favorite comes from CnK-designs.

Every piece is completely handcrafted using fine silver, sterling silver and genuine gemstones. There is no other piece just like yours and each has a rustic finish. While some of their peices are already made and ready in the shop, they happily accept custom orders based on your own ideas and style. I have included some of my very favorites:


Free Spirit necklace $45


Etched Tree necklace $60
