You're my obsession

The latest thing I'm obsessed with....BROOCHES!
I'm in love with them! I have a ton of solid color v-necks so this dresses them up a bit. Makes me look less like a boy. Also, they look fantastic on my cardigans! They are a great touch to any outfit!
Here are the latest cute & quirky ones I bought:

Adorable little sitting hedgehog pin from Paper Lotus


A crafty little crochet flower brooch from Craftyminx


This awesome mushroom goodness brooch from Quid


And this rockin' baby deer plush cameo brooch from Magical Pony Farm


Speaking of brooches, I made a yeti pin!
Who doesn't want to wear a yeti head on them? hmmm



And I'm going to end this post with my new pair of Toms.
(I took this picture with my macbook, which works like a mirror. Hence, toms spelled backwards.)

I'm really excited about this pair because they are lined with fleece!! These shoes aren't meant to be worn with socks so the lined fleece keep my feetsies nice and warm when it's cold out!
If you haven't heard of Toms shoes before please click here to be directed to their website.
For every pair purchased, Toms will give a pair of shoes to a child in need.

Ok, I need to get back to work now! Snugglies are yelling for me!
Oh, also I listed two pouches in the shop today!



Oh, and I have a question for you!
What's your favorite animal?

  1. Killer whales are my FAVORITE animals. I've been obsessed ever since I was a little girl, I even wrote a letter to Bill Clinton about the conditions in which they are kept at theme parks. I was quite the opinionated little thing, even when I was 10 years old.

  2. I love "favorite" questions because I always have a different answer...today it's turtles. Speaking of favorites, the first brooch is my second favorite, and the yeti pin is my first favorite! You're so very clever.

    And the Toms....I'm jealous. I'll give you one guess where my first $46 worth of Christmas money is going.

  4. I like hippos and llamas the best. Hippos are so cute, and llamas have the long, pretty eyelashes.

    I bought a set of Paper Lotus Chritmas cards with the same hedgehog on them. So cute!

  25. I've been wanting to get a pair of Toms for a while now. i was hoping to find a pair that I can wear in my cubicle that are considered somewhat "business casual" honestly i'll wear some black fuzzy slippers until someone calls me out.

    Oh and if you like broochies you should really check out skipping stones on Etsy. I noticed she sold a lot of her goodies but the leftovers are still pretty excellent. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5389

    By the way, love the yeti brooch!
