Getting On In The New Year

Happy New Year to all of our readers and subscribers! We hope that you had a happy holiday season and are settling into the New Year with ease.

Things around here have been hectic, to say the least. Individually, we have all been busy creating and purchasing new inventory, selling from our websites and maintaining those sites as well. Collectively we are back on board and ready to delight you with our latest finds and features for 2008.

We've been at it again, looking over Etsy, Flickr and other communities to bring you what we think are fabulous finds and not to be missed items in accessories, beauty and bath, fashion, jewelry and home decor.

Accessories:

We found some beautiful handmade flower adornments for your hair from Floreti, one which you can wear as a brooch or a hair clip. Talk about double duty - we love it! Also see this fabulous hand painted silk scarf from oceanavesilks - love the colors and one by amysfunkyfibers found on Etsy.

Fab Retro Vintage Reverse Carved Lucite Hair Barrettes & Ponytail Clips found on Etsy and from Eclecticas that are just yummy. $80 for the Pony Holders with sticks and $50 for the Hair Barrettes.

We love this Mod Kitty Backpack by Eclu found at Etsy.com for $148 and this Paisley Tote for $128

As well as this Vintage Bird House Hankie Tote and Cute Chick Hankie Tote from Bethsbagz on Etsy at $42
