Gifts for the Sewer you know!























Okay.. I have to admit. These probably aren't the most practical pin cushions out there, but if you sew as much as I do, it would surely brighten my day every time I sat down to my sewing machine. I love these detailed pincushions all staged in a fantasy land called Kup Kup. What a unique gift for that sewer you know! I love it! Available at kupkup.

Rugs







I absolutely love the rugs at Anthropologie.

Stocking Stuffers




Super fun pocket mirrors would make great stocking stuffers. Available at My Favorite Mirror.


I am so fascinated by Japanese culture and my dream is to travel to Tokyo someday. So when I saw these illustrations from childrens books by Meomi, I just had to buy the books. Plus, with a 2 year old in the house books like "The Cat in the Hat," although a classic - get a little old after the 50th read. The stories in these books are just as imaginative as the illustrations. I LOVE IT! Highly recommended. Available at immedium.



Most of you don't know this, probably because I have never mentioned it before. But... I LOVE scrapbooking. I have been scrapbooking for well over 10 years now and wow - the industry has changed a lot in those 10 years. I love spotting unique handmade paper items and embelishments. I thought these tags from Fabulous Finds were so super cute! Plus.. some great 3-dimensional flowers packaged super cute - what a great gift for that scrapbooker you know!

Melamine Dinnerware - Robots and Flowers



For some reason I find myself fascinated by Melamine dinnerwear. I think because it's such a blast from the past; although the latest designs you see now are nothing like my mom used. I love these robot plates and of course the more sophisticated black and white bird and floral motif. Available at Art Effect Chicago.
