Owlsome Gifts our BESTeam Feature

We are so excited to showcase our artist of the week Owlsome Gifts. Just in time for Graduation and Father's Day we are featuring an artist that mixes a bright color combination to make creative owl inspired things. She has fabulous, retro looking pillows,(the maroon pillow has been sold but it is so cute I just had to share it) paintings and even “owl pal” stuffed toys. Owlsome Gifts also have a great selection of beautiful jewelry, all owl themed of course. Owlsome Gifts’s shop has a little bit of everything. This is the perfect place to pick up something for that person who has everything. The shop is so unique and adorable that is hard to find just a few things that appeal to me. Who would have thought that Owls could be so darn cute? Take a look at Owlsome Gifts for yourself. You can also check out her blog for all kinds of updates and fun information.

BESTeam Feature Gardenmis

I had the pleasure of touring the Gardenmis shop this morning where you can almost smell the lavender sachet. I found a beautiful combination of homespun creations with a vintage twist just begging to be worn. I just could not stop smiling at the yo yo flowers. These designs reminded me of great childhood memories spent on the farm with my beloved Grandmother. Remember everything at Gardenmis is either one of a kind handmade or vintage!
Special request are welcome.


A few of my favorites.
