I'm a Sucker for a Good Notebook...

I've had disconsolator's Etsy store bookmarked for a while, but this mustard yellow and ketchup red combo might be enough to follow through with checkout...

Etsy Love

My lovely readers, today has been crazy times for me so I was really stressing that I wouldn't have a chance to post. UNTIL this fabulous capelet found its way into my inbox via an Etsy Finds email. If you haven't signed up for those, you really should. Exhibit A: the garnet jewellery featured in an earlier post.

The maven behind this cosy garment knits other fabulous pieces, too, like these fingerless gloves. I just adore coming across talented, creative people! Enjoy!

Design for Haiti

Artist Claudia Pearson is donating 25% of each sale of these two prints, inspired by love for Valentine's Day, to Yele Haiti. Yele Haiti is raising money to help with the disaster relief efforts in Haiti after the devastating earthquake on Tuesday. What's a more perfect way to combine your love of design and love of humanity?

Print, $20, available here.

Finally, I want to leave you all with this video (via Elements of Style) from US network NBC's Today Show. Blogstress Erin reminds us to keep perspective on our own trials, and I think that's a message worth repeating.

   

Attention All January Babies

Ring from here. Necklace from here.

I never thought I liked my birthstone until I saw these picks from today's Etsy Finds newsletter. Wouldn't mind opening up either of these come the 26th!
