The Perfect Gift

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.

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.
