Happy Saturday!
With Christmas just around the corner (I know, right?!), I thought I’d give you guys some fun shopping ideas.
I know it *seems* early, but it’s November.
And you know as well as I do how startingly fast the next few weeks whiz by.
Besides, if you can knock out a couple of gifts while you’re drinking your coffee in your pj’s…well, I think that’s pretty rad.
I’ve been eyeing this fat quarter bundle for weeks now.
There’s a certain owl pillow that I’m hoping to make my kids for christmas (one for each) and I think these patterns are fun, yet timeless.
Have any projects on your to-make list this holiday season? Check out Above All Fabric‘s selection and get that fabric shopping done without that weird old lady who suspiciously eyes your whippersnapper self.
Or is that just me?

If you’ve been drooling over one of Jess’ rolled rosette beauties…and really, who ISN’T in love with these????!!!
Even Pioneer Woman has one!
These Allora Handmade bits of happy need to be ordered by December 1st if you want it in time for Christmas!!!
And don’t lie.
Don’t even act like it’s supposed to be a gift.
Because you’re totally ordering for yourself.
Trust me…I know.

Vinyl wall decals are such a fun and easy way to update a room without breaking the bank.
I loooove these little cages…!
Wouldn’t they look so fun over a crib?! Eek!
Hosting Christmas this year and want to turn your dining room from blah to hip and cool?
Order some funky decals from Circle Line Studio and impress your guests with your modern self.
Now that I think of it…I DO have an annoyingly blank wall in my kitchen…hmmmm…

Dear Santa,
I have a cammy strap cover I made myself.
It’s cute.
But not deliciously darling like this raspberry ruffled goodness from Eclectic Whatnot.
I might wear my camera all day like a necklace if I had this.
True story.
This is a PERFECT gift for your budding photographer. So fun and different than anything else under that tree!

Ultra cute packaging makes me weak in the knees.
So much so that often I feel bad opening it up for the gift inside!
It’s probably overwhelming to think of wrapping EVERY gift all pretty like, but for a few of your girlfriends who you KNOW will appreciate it, Mommy Holly is filled with all kinds of fun embellishments.
And you HAVE to check out her vintage map and atlas birds. How cute would those look sprinkled on a table at a welcome home/going away party???!!!
The *real* kicker? MOST of her items are $1-$2!!! For that price, it’s a no brainer!

Lisa.
It’s kinda like Cher. Or Madonna.
I don’t even need to use her last name and you know exactly who I’m talking about.
Few things are more universal and loved than the organic feel of Lisa Leonard Design custom gifts.
Know a couple who just got married?
A brand new baby born this year?
How about a first time homebuyer?
This pewter heart can be customized with anything you want.
And your gift will become an heirloom.
Promise.
(and she’s having a sale…TODAY only!)

You can find about a million fun gifts at The Pleated Poppy.
But these tiny pouches are such a great stocking stuffer or the CUTEST way to gift an otherwise boring gift card.
I always kinda hate giving gift cards…they seem so impersonal…even if it’s what I would rather get as a gift myself!…So this is the perfect solution!
You can totally cross about five people off your list in one swoop at Lindsey’s shop.
For reals.
* * * *
Still have a few people on your list even after all of that shopping???
Come to the Queen Bee Market if you live in the Orange County/San Diego area next Saturday!!!
Buying handmade is so much more fun and special than that prepackaged lotion and body bath set at WalMart.
Come on…you know you’ve bought one in a frantic last minute panic.
We all have.
And we’ve all gotten one.
And re-gifted it.
Don’t act all offended. You totally have.
So pick up a couple extras (like these) at the Market and have some fun stuff on hand.
Bonus if you don’t actually gift it.
Presents for yourself!
Score!
(P.S. I’ll be there shopping my heart out, so hunt me down and say hi!)

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE THING FROM ONE OF THESE SHOPS WHAT WOULD IT BE???
{disclaimer: all of these shops are also sponsors of my blog. but please know that i really believe every word i said and i personally own something from most of these shops myself. so i wholeheartedly endorse each gal and hope you can make some of your mall time lighter this christmas season.}
