Pretty things: Taylor House

Freezing in this cold weather?
Though it may not necessarily be winter right now,
But aren't these just too adorable to pass?

Knitted cowls.
You heard me right.
Good old, soft and comfy handmade knits made by Chaucee of Taylor House!



Whoever said knitted cowls have to be dull and boring?
Use it as a fashion accessory to spruce up any outfit!
Wear it on its own, tuck it underneath a jacket or be inspired by these looks at Chictopia.

Interesting customized tags, bookmarks, clothespins and more for that personal touch. 'If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad' wood notepad seems to be my favorite item from their shop because I personally feel writing is the best way to express your thoughts. Another item from their shop which I can't seem to resist is their set of matching heart shaped cotton plush with the words, "You + Me". It's raining, It's pouring, ..and you and me are needing a little warmth and lovin'! - the right words to say to your significant other during a rainy weather. Great as gifting for anniversaries or romantic occasions.

Or maybe, if you're more of a writer, pen those inner emotions down on this sweet '40 Reasons why I love you' wood mini notepad. He/She will probably feel smitten by your adoring words, I'm sure. Other unique items include this cozy coffee sleeve (All the coffee in Columbia won't make me a morning person. - What an amusing gift to give to a coffee lover), lovely set of 12 clothespins (includes all sorts of words of Love so you can use them to clip up little love messages or pictures on the walls/bedroom) and even customized gift tags.

You will find handmade cards, artwork and paper accessories made entirely by Noemi, and the interesting fact about her shop name that it is spelled backwards after her name. I felt very intrigued when I first saw this strawberry cheesecake, because it never crosses my mind that it was actually a favor box. How creative. I think this would be perfect for giving your guests an unique 'slice of cake' treat filled with goodies to bring home with them after attending special occasions/events eg. baby showers/birthday parties/anniversaries. You can also find adorable baby cards - such as this cute elephant cards for the baby girl or the baby boy.

I am simply blown away by this beautiful shop. Everything is painted in a romantic vintage style by this talented creator. ERAsistible can personalize a handmade heirloom quality gift with a Shabby Cottage vintage flavor. If you're looking for an unique gift that's hand painted with an artist's touch, its worth checking out this shop.

by StarletGlamBathBody

These lovely bath soaps are simply divine. I quite particularly have a strong liking for this unique handcrafted bombshell Marilyn corset soap. Its too gorgeous and even has gold mica accented on top. Other than that, these beautiful pink rose shaped soaps will make a lovely addition to any bathroom. Or perhaps, coffee soaps might do the trick. Ocean whipped cream is a delightful treat to add flavors to a bathing experience, and they even have these luscious lip balms which look good enough to eat, but are not edible - marshmallow confection in particular. I couldn't agree more. Vegan friendly, 100% natural and free from detergents, SLS and sulfates. Not tested on animals and fragrances are Phthalate-Free. Head down now to StarletGlamBathBody to check out more on their glamor and whipped soaps.

Leather purse necklaces! I am so happy when I found these sweet little things. These are extremely pretty and dainty, thus they don't need words to justify their sweetness. My favorite pick will have to be this gorgeous leather purse necklace in ivory and lace! And if you notice, the interior lining is filled with 70s vintage cotton lace fabric which is hand crafted to each individual leather purse. I love it when a crafter has an eye for details. Visit this wonderful shop here.

I first 'pounced' upon this shop when I saw their cute cat sleep eye mask. Cuteness overload. Naomilingerie, as the name implies sells handmade lingerie, japanese style. You will totally dig their style, because they believe in 'comfortable lingerie for women who prefer to be different. Modestly sexy, keeping her innocence but still desirable.' If you're still not convinced, check out this video. Perfect for gifting, I'm sure your girlfriend will appreciate a comfy pair of sleep boxers because she can feel sexy without being over the top.

I was first intrigued when I first saw this picture... I was thinking to myself, 'What a beautiful tattoo!' until I realized that it was actually a tattoo stocking! Ultra coolness. Now, you can have beautiful butterflies tattoos without feeling the pain. And look at this cute Follow me twitter style stocking, I think its so cheesy with a bit of flirtatiousness added to it. Be sure to check out their Etsy shop for more interesting designs.

For a price of USD9.99, you can have your own personalized message in the wet sand along the beautiful beaches of of Southern California. A memory that will never wash away.

I really love this romantic gift. I am sure your other half will appreciate this thoughtful gesture because you could frame it up for memories sake. If you've always wanted a woodland theme wedding, Braggingbags offers other wonderful and personalized wedding decors made lovingly from wood. I like the fact that they can come up with so many different kinds of items made from Mother Nature. It is truly enchanting... My utmost favorite item from their shop has to be this personalized wedding guest book, for sure.

This reminds me of I Love You: The Wall located in Paris, France.
'What couple has not engraved its initials in a heart pierced by an arrow on the bark of a tree?'

Another inspiring love quote from Sophia of Canada.
"I say that love is when you can engrave each other's initials in a tree, and no matter when you go back, you won't ever want to cut that tree down."

Breath-taking photography by Lucy Snowe. I love the beach scenes, especially. This reminds me of The Lake House, the movie. ♥

Pretty things: MiniatureRhino

by MiniatureRhino

I adore this interesting shop which goes by the name of Miniature Rhino. They offer a wide selection of embroidery, letter writing paraphernalia, books and paper goods, vintage glass, curious objects, and photographs.

Featured pieces include custom heart sampler in cherry blossom, photo encaustic of you and me and vintage postage boyfriend set. Instead of carving your names on trees, let Jessica embroider your initials or names. Of course, there is always the classic diy message in a bottle (I just love the look of curiosity planted on the receiver's face) or if you would rather let Jessica do her magic, opt for this exclusive and unique idea of a message in a bottle letter service which comes with a letter typed using a vintage typewriter sealed with red wax and a special custom monogram stamped on the key, and shipped directly to the recipient, if you wish.

I personally feel these will make very lovely vintage gifts for memorable occasions., especially for your significant other. Très Romantic.
