From the Desk of A.J. - Our Other Unique LA Neighbor!

I love it when I hear of someone who just couldn't find the right somethin’, somethin’ and instead of sitting around and wishing for the fairies to come down and magically make it appear…they got off their butts and did something about it! (sounds like a certain pair of jewelry designers I know;).

Skunk and Sparrow. Again…another shout out to one of our Unique LA sistas. This gal makes super cute hair accessories (50’s, rockabilly/punk rock girl vibe), totes (uhm..with super cute zombies & voodoo dolls…how’d she do that???), hankies, and T-shirts & more. The prints are one of a kind and are all hand drawn & silk screened. I know… you can tell she’s put lots of blood, sweat and tears into her work…so you don’t have to:) My fav…a cutie T-shirt that has a rockin’ pink up gal and it says “Cute girls are feminists too”. Love, love!

Come check out her spot…she’ll be the one to the right of us, probably trying to convince me to do something with my “mom hair” by way of a fabulous feather clip (love those too!).

Find her here (and of course come see her and us Dec. 5th and 6th)

Unique LA - Modern POP

This is a booth that I will for sure be visiting! I love these prints! They're crisp, clean, modern and fun. I love love love the "funny girl" print. Such awesome prints for a modern kid's room (or heck, any room! I want that alphabet print for my office).

You can see more designs here and then come check them out at Unique LA on December 5th and 6th!

Best Friends

We couldn't end the week and not share this necklace with you! A special order for two great friends (the backs say Est. 1993) So cute!!

Happy Weekend!

Remember my post about the Bit of Whimsy dolls and patterns? I finished these little guys awhile ago, but didn't want to post them and ruin the surprise. How cute are they?! They were honestly really easy to make, even if I had to recruit my sister to figure out how to do a zigzag stitch on the sewing machine (I'm a newbie!). I think/hope these guys will become a favorite of the two little ones I made them for, I used super soft material for their body and think they'll enjoy chomping on the arms and legs and horns. If you missed my post about these, you can check it out here.

We have an exciting weekend coming up, Saturday we'll be wining and dining with other Unique LA vendors! We will continue to post about this event in the coming weeks, so keep checking back.

Thats it friends! If you haven't heard this already, call your kidlets into the kitchen and blast this song all weekend! We've listened to nothing else all week and I'm still not tired of it. My little ones love it, and we haven't even seen the movie yet. Highly recommend the whole soundtrack (all songs are by Karen O and The Kids).

Unique LA - Bored Inc.

Prepare yourself for the Unique LA media blitz friends! If we can't get you down to LA to visit us, then we're going to give you some more incentive by showing you some of the awesome vendors who are also participating! I promise you will find something for everyone on your Holiday list! Today is Bored Inc. who makes adorable Kawaii style tees, onesies, greeting cards, art prints, wall decals, totes and more!! All with adorable characters and sayings. I'm always a sucker for Kawaii, especially for my little ones!

Check out more of their stuff here. And then come see us and them on Dec. 5th & 6th! :)

From the Desk of A.J. - Our Unique LA Neighbor!

So you all know how super jazzed we are about being in the Unique LA gift show (Dec 5th and 6th…we warned you…lots of reminders are coming your way peeps!). Well we were even more excited about getting our table # and checking out who our neighbors are going to be. Again…the show is all privately owned entrepreneurs. Much like ourselves, and we want to give as many shout outs for everyone…so here we go with our neighbor to the left, to the left of us:)

Mimi and Lola. Super cute personalized blankets, pillows, and bibs in many different colors and designs. What a great idea to add on to your personalized jewelry;). Seriously though…these blankets are super cuddly and love, love, love the colors and designs they have. The pillows are sweet and the bibs just fun (uhm…they named one Yellow Martini…need I say more?)

I love gifting…and I love it even more when it’s something special and unique…this line is just that.

Lila France's Personalized Wire Hangers

These have been featured in a couple different blogs, but I'd thought I'd give them a shout-out too since I love them so. Everyone loves a personal gift, but little ones especially love to see their name on something (my daughter recites her ABC's in perfect order, except when she gets to 'P' she always needs to shout, "a P a Parker!") I think these would be so sweet to hang bathrobes on, or jackets by the door. I really want to order them to hang some of their artwork from, with some tiny clothespins. I think that would be a sweet and easy way to give their ever changing artwork some important display space.
