It's not too late

Looking for last minute Christmas gift ideas?  You may have to pay a little extra for Priority shipping so your present will arrive on time, but it's not too late if you act quick!  I just wanted to highlight a few cool products that I have thoroughly enjoyed, and think you might, too.  If you are looking for something unique, and amazingly cool, you should visit Ottoman.  Here is a picture of the

Moss Pincusion that I own from her shop:

And here is a picture of the Moss Bobbypin that I recently bought for my sister's birthday:

I love it!  And my most recent acquisition from her store is something extra special...A custom 

hand-painted modern version of the DOILY!  

This is what she has to say about them:

"These paintings look like a doily pinned or adhered to a colored background, but up close, one notices the perfect imperfection of handpainted letters.

Each row (starting from the center) is a letter in one's name, word or short phrase. I am using a combination of print and script on these depending on the flow of the piece."

Here is a picture of the one I bought for Clara:

Can you see the different letters that spell-out her name?  Ingenious.

I cannot decide whether I am going to display it on the wall, or prop it up on her shelf next to her favorite dolly.  The possibilities are endless!  

I know Clara will cherish it when she is older.

(The cute little doll was sewn by my sister-in-law, Elissa.  She bought the pattern from The Black Apple)

Thank you, Ottoman!!

Next, I would like to highlight my sister's shop.  Are you a dog lover?  Or a lover of cool, funky bags?  You HAVE to visit her shop, Classic Hound.

This is my favorite collar she offers, the "Eye Candy Buttercream":

The Silly Sock Monkeys FAMILY REUNION is a fun and playful one.

And the "Key West" is one, stylin' leash. Very cool.

Here is a sample of her shoulder bags.  I own the "Morning Glory Shoulder Bag", but will be buying a couple more.  I think it is safe to say they are the perfect bags-they have only one handle, which is very nice and convenient, and they are the perfect size-not too big, not too small.  I have received so many complements on mine.

Not only are her products aesthetic, but they are made of the best quality fabrics, and the craftsmanship is very impressive.

Okay, I'll stop-that's it for today.  So stop reading...and start shopping!

Thanks Pamela! It's so nice to see my pincushion getting some use! Also, the painting looks really sweet next to the doll. :) I'm so glad you like everything!

Ottoman's (Summer's?) stuff is so amazing--I've been stalking her blog. I feel inadequate to have my little doll next to a real artist's work. And that first collar you listed is the one we have for Shirley with matching leash! I love it. I feel like I know all these famous people. Look how cool I am. :)
