[fiesta, forever] ain't no party like a blogger party: POST recap

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of attending the POST Blogger Social, hosted by Beth of Hello, Splendor and Kelly of Fabulous K, pictured here in all their loveliness:

The party was held at Nest, otherwise known as the reason I need a serious raise.  What I love most about this shop is that it's pretty much undefinable - I was expecting a space full of furniture and other home interior goodness, but that's just the beginning.  Nest also hosts a chic array of accessories, books, gourmet bites, bath & body items, stationary...the list goes on & on.  Here's a glimpse into this beautiful space:


It would probably easier to list what I didn't want from this shop, but here's a handful of what stood out to me in a major "I wawnt that" way:

Missoni Home (I think?) throw that would look ah-mazing pretty much anywhere in my house

Jonathan Adler Slipper Chairs for my orange-accented living room

Giant Zook for the baby room (he stands 3' tall!)

These fabulous Skull Harp Chairs redesigned by Nest Interior Design 

The other eye candy of this soiree?  The attendees, of course.  I met a bunch of great Dallas bloggers, and ran into a couple that I know & love:

Last but not least?  There were cupcakes.  I'm not going to tell you how many I ate, but I will say that I'm now a total devotee of Citizen Sweet:

It was a really great night!  Thanks again to Beth and Kelly for putting it all together.  When's the next one??

[i wawnt that] more jingle bash cravings

Today's edition of Etsy Jingle Bash features, i.e. things I will be sneaking away from my own booth to blow my money on, is dedicated to little ones.  There's something for everyone at the Bash, even the tiniest of shoppers!  For instance....

This rad dinosaur tee from Mama Dee's Boutique:

Spanish alphabet "El Búho" nursery print from mere designs:

And speaking of art for the nursery,  how great would this pelican print from Bee Things be in our nautical nursery?  It even features pelican poop, which means it would be perfect above the changing table.

If I were having a girl, I would certainly go home in the red after visiting Three Yellow Starfish's booth. 
(lookit those little peanuts wearing her Knot Dresses...*dies*)

And lest we forget mama - I'll be really shocked if I come home without this Lotería maternity tunic from XY Factory:

What are you craving from this year's Jingle Bash Artists?  Tell me what you've got your eye on, and then come & get it on November 20th at the Palladium!

[haute hardware] yo, it's about that time

Yes, to bring forth the rhythm & the rhyme, but also to mark your calendars for some super sweet handmade local shopping at the Etsy Dallas Jingle Bash.  It's coming up with a quickness on Saturday, November 20th, so start saving your pennies and cashing out your Christmas Club NOW.
There's something for everyone at the Bash, and if you don't believe me, just take a few minutes to peruse this year's Artists.   As for me, I get almost as excited about shopping this show as I do about my own booth.  Here are just a few things I'm loving from my first (of many) pre-shopping excursions on Etsy:








T-shirts from Dowdy Studios for Rod, since they're all he wears (just ask Dylan, pictured).  And I can steal them whilst pregnant:

And of course I've been a busy bee with Haute Hardware preparations - stay tuned for previews of some brand new stuffs in the upcoming weeks!
