ZuLily is a site that is similar to Hautelook, the site that I posted a couple weeks ago. It offers adorable clothes and such for babies, toddlers, children and women at a discount of 50% or more. It is a rotating gallery of online shops that have Super Cute Stuff so if you see something that you can't live without, you had better get it because it won't last. The shops rotate and change every few days. Everything usually sells out. I saw the most adorable little toddler swimsuits a couple of days ago. They are already gone. Look now and check back often!! You won't be disappointed. Use this link please:
zulily/cocomama's invitation and bookmark the site so that ZuLily will know that I sent you each time you visit! Thanks and Happy shopping!
I love to find that perfect gift.
Whether it is a hard to find quirky accessory or a silly reminder of a private joke. Or it could be that perfect piece of vintage memorabilia or sometimes a fabulous, unique gourmet food item. I find joy and satisfaction in the hunt. I love to browse sites that get my brain thinking of all the cool stuff out there waiting to make someone's day.
Here are some groovy sites, each with plenty of inspiration on your quest of
The Perfect Gift:

I found the
Wedding Wire Blog months ago. It is filled with great information! There are dozens of blog post contributors and two additional blog sites, all with beautiful photos, excellent resources, and some really great tips and advice. I highly recommend browsing these blogs. Especially if you are even
tossing around the idea of getting married. You will be inspired!
It's about this time of the year that I get really antsy for Spring to arrive. The weather teases us with 60+ degree sunny days. The stores clearance their Valentine's Day inventory and have stocked the shelves with Springy Eastery goodness. The calendar starts filling up with plans for road trips and Spring weddings. The anticipation is inspiring.
I recently made these cute alphabet flippers for my cutie-patootie niece and my cuter-than-10-things honorary grand-daughter. They were ridiculously easy.
My Mind's Eye Alphabet Soup line includes this darling alphabet card deck. I stuck them in plastic badge holders and clipped them all together. I hope "Auntie Coco's" girlies love them!
Here are some other designs to inspire you:
Echo Park Paper has really cute springy paper patterns and embellishments.
Bella Figura this is a letterpress company that offers, among other fabulous things, customized coasters! If you want some fabulous design ideas for anything...invites, vinyl, cards, etc. - this is where to get them.
May Arts Ribbon I love ribbon! It's one of my very favorite things! This company is known for fabulous ribbon - but there are also some really fun ideas on their blog.
Create something good today! Spring is coming!
HauteLook is a really cool shopping forum that gives members access to INCREDIBLE savings from 8 or so 'top of the line' merchants for 2 or 3 days at a time. Most of these e-shops are high-end but with the savings offered here you can actually afford most of the items offered. I have purchased from them several times and have not ever been disappointed or felt like I was mislead. Things go fast so check every day. The site offers cash for referrals so enter
here and fill in your name and email to start saving! Then you can refer as many friends as you wish and earn cash for yourself! It's a genius little system. Happy shopping!
I am heading down south today for a weekend with the girlfriends! It has been bitter cold here in Northern Utah and I am looking very forward to some warmer weather. Forecasters predict 60 degrees. Nice!
I have been to St. George many, many times. A couple of years ago my little family spent several glorious days at the Green Valley Spa and Resort. Our favorite part? We absolutely loved the beds! I know - sounds weird to be obsessed by the linens but we all could have stayed in them for the entire trip. Thick, down pillow top mattresses covered with high thread count crisp white sheets - pulled tight. . . topped with layers of marshmallowy goodness - thick, fluffy, pillowy duvets and a plethera of down pillows - 7 or 8 on each bed! It was heavenly I tell ya. Absolutely divine.
This time I, along with 3 of my besties will be staying at my dear friend's
condominium, which just happens to be an affiliate of the
Green Valley Spa and Resort. I can't wait! I need some talk therapy and a break from my daily routine. How great that we can drive for a few hours and get such diversity in scenery and climate. I love Utah. I can't wait for Spring in our little corner of it.
WELCOME!
Almost everyday, I see or find something I want to share with someone. That's why I'm often saying something to the effect of, "Hey! Look what I found...". As I gather ideas and inspiration from everything around me, some of these things actually turn into projects: invitations, party favors, decorations, gifts, things for my friends, things for weddings, things for my house, things to eat, etc. But truthfully, most of them go in my files. And, yes, I actually am the kind of person who goes back and looks at them. In my perfect world, I would have ample time to create (or attempt) every fabulous project, as well as endless resources to purchase all of the beautiful, unique, and sometimes quirky things I come across. But until then, I would love to be able to share this obsession I have of looking for the next incredible find. So, come back often--it will be an insight into my thoughts (which I always find entertaining, at the very least) and an adventure in creative possibilities.
