+ LuLu's +

Another one of these great online stores with stunningly trendy tidbits for screaming-deal prices! LuLu's. (They have more than shoes).

- fabulous fonts -

These are my faves of the staff picks for Veer's fonts. So fabulous. I'm always itching for beautiful new display and script typefaces because they are the quickest to get overused.

Also: Veer gives away an awesome font every month! This is February's: Regime (see below). More free stuff from Veer here.

- Pretty -

I loves this card. Wouldn't any gal just LOVE to get one of these? It would make my day! Set of 5 for $15. By Amy Marcella.

~ free gardening gift pack ~

I love Annie's products: an awesome company that you can really feel good about buying from, plus cute bunnies on the box. I happened to check out their website just to see if I could get some coupons or something, and I discovered this offer for a free gardening kit. It's just some seeds and gloves, but hey: FREE. You just need the UPC code from two Annie's products purchased between January and April this year. You just enter the codes online. No mailing anything in. My daughter is going to love getting this in the mail.

- boba -

The Ergo carriers have always had that advantage of carrying larger babes, but this looks even better: the Boba! My little Ivy is not-so-little and has outgrown her Bjorn. This fits "babies" up to 45 lbs (if you're up for carrying that much weight in any form). I'm not a sling/wrap gal: I like my front packs. We also have a Kelty carrier, but man you look silly wearing one of those in the grocery store. What is scandalously exciting is that they are on a hot deal at Zulily right now for $59 instead of $100. In 3 color options. Really, really want one. Just to convince my husband (that's another thing I love; when he can wear it, too.)

~ Font I Want ~

Font Shop is showing off one of their newest script fonts, Nelly. I want. It's exactly what I've been looking for. Should I buy it? Should I?

{ Hazel }

This morning I discovered an adorable clothing line via Zulily: Hazel. Why am I sharing clothes that are already sold out? First, because the top two images aren't yet. Second, to instill in you the urgency of shopping early in the morning (most of the Hazel stuff sold out in a couple of hours...I literally had all the sizes of the pink jacket sell out while I was checking out...luckily I still got mine). Third, because there are some great ideas for a DIY project. I'm going to try to sew a bunch of ribbon bows all over a cardigan! If you haven't already signed up for Zulily, please use my link to sign up.

Lastly, you can check out all the fab sale items for YOU on the Hazel website. For all you Anthropologie lovers.

Mod Cloth Discovered!

Those of you who knew about Mod Cloth and didn't tell me...shame on you! There is something to be said for those little postage-stamp-size ads that pop up along the side of Facebook. That's how I discovered this fabulous side! 15 minutes of swiftly scrolling through still wasn't enough to get through it all (there are 11 pages of 300 items in the apparel section...that doesn't include the shoes). And note: their adorable, modest swimsuits also come in plus-sizes. Anthropologie-esque styles at Anthropologie sale prices. Shop on.

< The Paper Nut Giclée Update >

I've been selling quite a few giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay")prints. More will be popping up in my Etsy shop. Over the next while, so stay tuned.

Flying Out the Door

I'm officially the Zulily blog now. Just kidding. I'm posting something of my own right after this. But I couldn't resist. The first dress is sold out. I want to try my hand at copying it, if I can find some of the right beadwork.

{ Lovely Lights }

Sorry, I'm still on a Zulily streak. These adorable lights are in the mid $200's range instead of almost $600. Sign up for Zulily and see. I still can't afford one right now, but I thought someone out there would find it a steel!
