Caution! lots of eye candy.
Who doesn’t love meeting new people, learning new things, and finding new pretties to drool over? Hello, I do! I’d like to share with you some eye candy that recently made it’s way into my mailbox and then my wardrobe.
Lisa Leonard is so sweet.
We met in February at Blissdom and have kept in touch since. I heart the “big sister” friendship/mentoring experience we have together.
The Sweetheart Necklace is one of my favorite necklaces. “z & m” is stamped on the little heart; the weight of the pendant warms from touching my skin — it’s a nice reminder of the love Zack and I share.
Find Lisa on Twitter, her blog, or her shop.

Ashlee with Tweet Baby Designs has a colorful shop full of the cutest things. She recently sent me this fabric hair clip, and, umm, it’s one of my favorite things. I love to look at it :]
It’s made from rolled Heather Bailey fabric, and sits atop a hairclip. I just can’t get over how cute {and lightweight!} this item is. And the brown & white polka dot ribbon…? Sigh. It’s just too perfect.
You can find Ashlee on Twitter or her shop.

Oh, Allora Handmade. Do NOT get me started on these fabric flower earrings. I bought them a few weeks ago and I think I’ve worn them every day since they arrived. Totally not kidding. The are large, in the best way possible, and they are beautiful and unique and full of detail and I love the color. They are lightweight, sassy, simple. They even have a cute floral piece of fabric on the backside. See? {scroll down}
Have you ever heard of the Queen Bee Market? Jessica is a co-owner. {lucky}.
You can find Jessica on Twitter, her blog or her shop.
