Three fast reccomended itmes for whose you love more at home… your children and…your sweet, little, funny, four legged friend!

Go Back to the past with this wood train set: it is sure to bring many hours of fun to any young engineer. The set comes complete with 3 cars: a engine, a log car, and a caboose. Each piece of this train set is individually crafted by hand. The train measures 15 inches in length and is made from pine and birch woods. It is hand sanded to a smooth surface and the corners are rounded for child safety. It is made using non-toxic glue and finished with a child safe, non-toxic toy oil. All wheels roll freely. Not for children under 3 years of age.

Your baby used to leave all tha game around your house?

It won’t be a problem with these amazing newborn blocks! They are so glamour that nobody will note them as something in the wrong place….

These blocks are adorable as a nursery display or for your child at play. Perfect for a newborn because the harsh contrast of black and white captures their attention and helps them develop their vision, they can also be great for a curious toddler learning to stack and use first words and letters.

MAKE THESE YOURSELF by purchasing this item and be able to show them off as your own and personalize them. This is a KIT to MAKE the blocks YOURSELF without the trouble of going to the store and spending hours looking for what to buy, this KIT comes with everything you will need! 

Each KIT INCLUDES: 
* A set of six (6) 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch raw wooden blocks.
* 80 pre-cut black & white pattenred papers.
* The perfect amount of non-toxic, non-flammable, water-based glaze & varnish.
* 2 brushes for application of glaze & varnish.
* A special file for sanding the edges.
* 2 full sets of alphabet letters.
* Step by step instructions on how to make these one-of-a-kind vintage looking blocks.

And finally.. can you forget your little friend?

Christmas’s knoking on the door…

I’m so sorry …. I can’t write my posts daily … my free time seems to be desappeared…

But if you please… here there are some new ideas for your Christmas shopping ( and not only…)!

I want to thank all etsy’s sellers that every time post them store-links on the etsy forum, without them I couldn’t write my shopping tips! ;)

So…

For the most gluttonous…

some really special magnets! You can hang them on the refrigerator and you will feel sated before to open it! 

1 1/8 inch buttons covered in high quality fabric are securely attached to strong magnets. 

And these? Aren’t they delicious?

They were all made from Premo! Polymer clay and glued to their magnets using a strong cRaZY glue.

They’ll make your mouth water :)

Non-edible, but just for fun flavors include:
Peanut - Mint - Coconut - Strawberry
Cherry - Carmel

…actually eating the truffles is not recommended 

How to prepare them for a gift? Adding these really well done Christmas cards!

These holiday cards are perfect for that special someone. Each card has a flocked paper tree and a rhinestone to accent them. Each card comes with a matching envelope, and is blank inside for your special greeting. All cards come in a plastic sleeve.

New ideas for Christmas… or for every special occasion!

Hello everybody!

A new week started and Christmas is knocking at the door! Here in Italy winter seems to be arrived… it’s raining for days here in Venice….. sad weather…

And what about where you live? Oh, what a great idea: enjoy this post and then write a comment telling me about today’s weather in your town! I’m really curious! ;)

 

The fist gift idea I want to promote is dedicated to children… they are surely the Christmas’ protagonists and these Guardian Angels won’t fail them!

It will be about 15″ (38 cm) tall and very soft, perfect for hugging and cuddling.

You can personalize the colours of the chlotes and skin and any details you want!
Take a look at this sweet store…

 

And now we can continue with some usefull for adults…

For example the Godiva Wine Bottle bag, perfect for adding something extra to that bottle of wine you are going to give someone this holiday season. Or even to give your decorate table a particulary touch!
Made from shimmer Godiva and metallic ribbons and lined with a coral fabric. A leather cord ties around the neck of the wine bottle.

Specifics: 1.5 inch wide ribbon14 inches tall by 6.5 inches wide

 And keeping on write about decorated tables.. you can’t miss these Delicius bud vases.

Seller indicates them as wedding favors, but in my opinion you can personalize the colors using Christmas shades and replace the flower with a Red Christmas Star to create the most original placeholders your guests have ever seen!

Any quantity and style can be created for your perfect day.
Each tent is stamped with a daisy thank you stamp and embellished with a ribbon and rhinestone (Custom stamps also available). Tubes are glued to tent for a stable setting.

Natural skincare has existed for centuries; this skincare hearkens back to a simpler era when chemicals didn’t overpower the terrific results nature alone can bring about. Weel done!

Then…you surely have a cell-phone, and so do all your friends… what do you say about give them an original pouch for Christmas?

Christmas Shopping… it’s never too soon!

Today I want to invite you to start thinking about Christmas Shopping… I used to buy all presents the last week… and it isn’t a good custom!

So to reach Christmas happy and relaxed… start now your shopping!

Today I suggest three kind of itmes, perfect for little gifs, for those friends you want to give just a littel present:

Oat and Honey handmade soap, it has a beautiful golden color, a mild fragrance and produces a rich lather. Each bar weighs approximately 4.5 ounces and measures about 2.75 x 2.5 x 1 inch. Soaps are wrapped in cloth making them great for gifts without any additional packaging.


I think that for we vain girls … a handmade soap is the top of the gift! :)

Another usefull item is a notepad. Everybody keep a notepad in own bag, because everybody , sooner or later, will need to write somethink in a rush!

Here a nice example, take a look! Different designs available!

It’s a little shop, but rich of nice paper ideas…

Finally you can’t miss these great hair bows clips!

Tens patterns available in this dedicated etsy.store but I think teens could get crazy for these Pink Leopard!
