So there wasn't a Thursday post because I spent the majority of the day messing around for today's post.
You can read all the nitty gritties here.
If you're a fan of curating
Etsy treasuries, than you are absolutely going to fall victim to Boutiques.com.
The website allows you to browse member curated "boutiques," filled with that persons favorites from all across the fashion world.
You can explore boutiques created by...
designerscelebrities
even bloggers!
And guess what?? YOU can make your own Boutique too!
( mine! come follow me! end shameless plug. )
In your Boutique you can collect and curate your favorite items -- all without spending one red hot cent!
You can also "Love" or "Hate" items that Boutiques.com begins to 'recommend' to you. The more you rate, the more tailored and accurate the recommendations become.
So for all you fashion junkies out there, who love a good round of window shopping:
you're welcome.
For those of you without hours to flush doing the intertubes:
....i sorry!

It's no secret that my addiction color is a huge part of this blog. What can I say?
They make my heart sing.
To help you out with your holiday shopping, each week I'll feature gifts tailored to fit certain tastes, all sourced from that wonderful vintage and handmade resource, Etsy.
{ gifts for the color junkie }
I love these delicious, unusually paired colors. Seriously. It's love.
Holy crap it's gonna be hard to not snatch up all of this week's finds...
"Teal Chevron Stripe with Emerald ALEXIS Clutch" by ao3designs
Sometimes a little splash of color makes a huge statement -- especially against this awesomely bold pattern.
"sparkle and shine brooch" by ashdel
There is something so French about these colors to me. I'm not sure why. Mais, c'est bon - je t'aime, petite brooch. ( haha - i don't have the francais for "brooch." )
"Vintage- Colorful Polka - Dot Scarf" by lisabarton
I am just now realizing that this scarf totally reminds me of the old school Wonder Bread packaging. It's all I can see now. Still awesomely colorful though.
I have no idea how I just stumbled across this whimsical little shop. It's filled with playful color combinations and adorable patterns. I love the vivid yellow against the khaki, pink and navy. Sooo contrasty!

.... it's winter.
We had the craziest, blusteriest
(thanks, Piglet) storm last night. Our power flickered, trees swayed, and this morning there was debris everywhere.
So I made a treasury about it.

A gray and dreary weekend turned into a festival of holiday craft-making.
With, luckily, a few dry hours to run outside for some photography.
(Those are tiny pine trees on the garland. Too bad I didn't think to post a close up. :P)
It was time for a little sprucing up (yuk yuk yuk..).
I've sorted of pounced on the embroidery train lately. It's veery relaxing, plus as the hubbers pointed out ("wait you're telling me these threads are only $0.35 each?!"), it's a lot less spendy than some of my other crafting addictions...
This little guy is from my knitting frenzy days. I think he'll be making an encore performance in my shop later this week....
With any luck, I'll be well prepared for my next craft show....THIS Saturday! Eeep!

So like a BILLION years ago, Tsuki of
LittleGrayFox sent me photos of these amazing shoes that

How clever is this girl??
Look.
So now, without any (further) ado, some wwKw outfits to go with.

On November 11th, 1889 you became a State.
And on this, your 121st birthday, I have something to tell you:
I love you, Washington. There. I said it.
Where else can you:
spend the night in a
tree
witness the beauty of the high
desert
take a
ferry almost anywhere
all in the same state?
Check out these talented Washington bloggers, for even more PNW goodness:
(you gotta check out this video on her blog!)
Happiest of birthdays, dear Washington State!

To help you out with your holiday shopping, each week I'll feature gifts tailored to fit certain tastes, all sourced from that wonderful vintage and handmade resource, Etsy.
{ gifts for the collector }
I love rocks and am currently obsessed with Ireland. This seemed like a no brainer. Plus, they are so cheery and colorful! What's not to like?
These were just so fun, I couldn't resist including them. Perfect for the 'woodland creature' or 'kitschy holiday decoration' collector.
Are there other people who collect vintage photographs? No? Just me? Ah well. If you should change your mind, this hefty bundle is a great way to start.
"Snowy Owl, Barred Owl, Gray Owl - Antique Book Plate - 1914" by shavingkit
I know we've got some owl collectors out here in blogland. A little something different, for the collector who already has a bunch of figurines...
( altho if you're looking for an excellent time vacuum, search "owl collection" under Vintage on Etsy. omg. )
Do people collect sheeps? Maybe you should. These are insane cute.
I am in love with these. I don't collect tumblers or jars or vases, but these make me seriously consider starting....
*update* even more ideas
here...

(yep. that was a tony the tiger reference.)
