You call remember how I took the pledge to give only handmade and vintage Christmas gifts this year?
Well, my dear and wonderful hubbers took it to heart, and made sure he did the same.
"Teal Chevron Stripe with Emerald ALEXIS Clutch" by ao3designs
I couldn't even believe that this beauty is now mine! I cannot wait to use it, and I think I need to make up some sort of outing so that I can - asap.
"Rain Drop Stripe Long Zipper Pouch" by MadameCupcake
Not exactly the same pattern, but really similiar, I am now the proud owner of my own multi-colored rain drop pouch. Hubbers seemed dubious of my "need" for a "another" pouch, but I assured him - DON"T WORRY - a packrat lady can never have too many.
"fleur de toi" necklace by fleurfatale
I also received this sweet necklace. I love fleurfatale's shop (which is in vacation mode now, but be sure to sign up to receive notification when it reopens on January 2nd)! So many pretty things to browse.
Anyway, sorry to get all braggy on you. I was so touched by the serious amount of effort the hubbers went to this year, and that he helped me to support some wonderful independent artists.
I am a lucky, lucky girl.
{ what gave you that warm, glowy feeling inside this holiday? }
Psssst! - Monica is the shizz.

He did such a good job!
But small bags and clutches and things are so very handy to hold all sorts of items. They're essential organizing tools, and aesthetics are a vital part of ones environment as a hierarchical need based on Maslow's theory of personality. For some people, aesthetics are just as important as other needs in order for that personality to be healthy and thrive.
It's a handy way to validate new purchases. ;)

Well...Merry Christmas to you! What a great haul! Happy New Year! Best, Cat
You are a lucky girl...These are so lovely! You will have to do a new outfit post with this clutch included.
My warm fuzzy glow came from my mom's cookies this year. Now I have a gut...totally worth it!
Great gifts!!! He did so well!
I couldn't resist posting some of my gifts either ;)
You lucky gal, those are fabulous gifts! And the best part is the gift of him supporting your goals. That is just beautiful.
I hope you two had a lovely start to the New Year! If I ever get out to Seattle again (no plans at this point) we should do a bloggie meet up ;) Be touristy, etc.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, my Dear Blogger Buddy :)

Sweet husbands are the best :) I love mine.
Cute clutches!
wow, what an awesome boy! he obviously has excellent taste ;] my boy did pretty good too. he even got me a shark steam mop! (i know it isn't handmade, forgive me!)
Kelli, that is so impressive! I think my husband would be like a deer in headlights trying to navigate Etsy. hehe
awww, how sweet is he?! you are one lucky wife :D
Aw, how thoughtful of him! He's got quite a fashion sense, too.
