Tea and Pillows, it doesn't get any better.

I found that when I am sick like I am now, there is nothing I love more than pillows and tea. Here are two super amazing finds.

They're on my want list you see...

Acute Design: Chic Handmade Accessories

This post is featuring the great accessory work of Gina from Acute Designs, an Etsy find. Her delicate headbands are a great compliment to dress up an outfit or just look plain cute! I adore her red and gold flower headband and satin flower clip, as seen below. She mentioned to me that she is also expanding into baby accessories, pet accessories and more. Everyone should take a moment to check out her shop and the chic handmade accessories she has created!

Great job Gina!

Black Beauty

These earrings by Heather at Pretty Paris on Etsy and really cute and come in an array of colors! She describes them as high quality cabochon black roses. The Cabochons measure about 21mm with surgical steel ear posts. I also really like the cute little tags she created for the earrings and she promises each pair arrive in a "pretty little package," which we all can appreciate. At only $8.00 these are a find. She has other jewelry at her site as well, which you should check out.

While you are checking out her etsy site, check out her friends etsy site as well. Her friend lost two family members to the same rare cancer and all proceeds to her friends site go directly to benefit the Matt Morrell and Natalie Sanchez Pediatric Cancer & Blood Disease Foundation. Please help in the fight against Ewing's Sarcoma.

Z Gallerie

When I lived in Cincinnati, one of my most favorite stores was Z Gallerie. Now that I'm back in Buffalo, I can't get that fix - and man does it stink. Thankfully, they have a great online store (and facebook page!) that I frequent. In my new interior make-over frame of mind, I've been trying to decide what I like best from their store. I think the winner for the living room right now is the Aiden Chair and the Aiden Sofa! The Aiden Chair sells for $999.00 and the sofa, $1,299.00. They pair this ensemble with this painting, which I think compliments nicely.

Z Gallerie also has some great sales going on right now. Check it out!

Wall Decals

The beginning of 2010 brought some inspiration to redesign my living room. I've been checking out furniture and other designs concepts via interior decorating sites for inspiration. Since I'm hung up on the couch sick - yesterday, I came across these decals.

They are so cool. I bet they really transform a room with the swipe of an arm. I particularly like the trees placed along the stairway.

These decals can be found here and are made by WowWall. There are many more designs that can be found at this link.

Braille Napkin Rings

These delicate napkin rings are made of clay and each hold representation of a different word - with the purpose of stirring up conversation, spurring up interaction and creating laughter at your next dinner party! Since these are made to order, you can choose the words you would like on your napkin rings. I thought these were pretty clever and a great shot at making a memorable dinner conversation.

On the other side of the rings is the hand-written word.

I think you could have a lot of fun with these!

Attention Fellow Mac Nerds!

If you are into your 13" or Powerbook Mac then by "into" I mean hello fellow nerd! You are going to love this. It's a great way to dress up your mac or pretend you have some man with a glowing apple head on the top of your laptop. Be sure to place the decal so that it's not upside down when you open your powerbook. You can get one here for only $5.00.
