etsy shop of the day: birdhouse jewelry


while at the brooklyn flea market the other day (more to come on that fabulousness that is the brooklyn flea) i stopped at amy lapierre's, of birdhouse jewelry, wonderful booth and simply fell in love. she had such beautiful pieces of jewelry that were, much to my delight, actually affordable! i've been looking for the perfect 'v' pendant necklace for a while now and i found it here! 
i would have to say my favorite part about my new necklace is the fact the the length is adjustable...that's right, there are three different lengths i can wear this bad boy depending on the collar of my shirt. i love that! 

here are a few of my favorite items she has on her site right now:



Birdhouse Jewelry- Gold/Silver 5 Oval Necklace
{love this simple understated necklace}

Birdhouse Jewelry- Colored Leather and Gold Bracelet
{these were gorgeous in person. they reflected the light beautifully}
Birdhouse Jewelry - Gold Saddle Ring
{love a good statement ring}



{love my v necklace! i wear it everyday}

she has some gorgeous pieces that i'm sure to put on my wishlist for any upcoming holidays *hint, hint mr. williams* ;)




make sure to check out all her shop has to offer here



what is your favorite piece she has? 
which item do you want to add to your holiday wishlist?

DIY Christmas Tree Tumblers


Oh the many possibilities this DIY drinking glass project creates! Gifts, candle holders, special party glasses... the list goes on and on! With just some glasses, a paint pen, and a bit of patience, these are an adorable way to add some extra flair to your holiday party this year!
You could paint drinking glasses as demonstrated. You could also use the same treatment on candle holders or on old Mason jars. You could simply trace an image by putting it on the inside of the glass and painting the outside. Or if you're feeling artsy, go ahead and free hand it! Silhouette glasses for each family member maybe? Or how about monogram glasses? You could also recreate your child's favorite animated character to make their new favorite drinking glass!
You'll simply paint the design onto the glassware with a paint pen (available at art and craft supply stores). After letting the paint dry the recommended amount of time (in most cases, 24 hours), bake the glasses in a 325 degree oven for 40 minutes. Make sure to NOT preheat the oven as sudden changes in temperature may break the glasses. Rather, put the glasses in the oven, set the temperature, let them bake for the proper amount of time, then turn off the oven and let the glasses gradually cool inside it. Then just fill with your favorite beverage or a candle and enjoy!

Find of the Day


Today's Find of the Day comes courtesy of Etsy. I adore these upcycled paper wreaths made by Lana Manis of Simple Joys Paperie. Lana found a way of making a living out of her love of books, and I'm loving them too! The beauty of these wreaths is that they're filled with words from old books, giving them layers and layers of texture, content and meaning.
"I don’t destroy perfectly good books as a rule, and use books that are falling apart, have pages missing, or are damaged in one way or another.". I love the way these old books are being brought back to life in a whole new way to bring a smile to your day.


I think these could make an awesome unique hostess gift for all those holiday parties you'll be attending this season!

Check out all of her work at http://www.simplejoyspaperie.etsy.com/
