Winter Hat

It's supposed to be a cold day today, so I thought I'd take this opportunity and show off my fancy new winter hat. I just ordered it from Portland based designer Liza Rietz. She has a lovely etsy shop, and I'm so pleased with my hat. I love the glamorous 1920s-esque cloche style, but it's also made of warm black wool, so it keeps my head nice and cozy.

Coco's Greenhouse

Last Christmas, I made it a point to purchase as many handmade or locally sourced gifts as possible, and I look forward to doing the same this year. One of the shops I bought several pieces from was Coco's Greenhouse. This ETSY seller is a lovely lady and a fellow North Carolinian. Her jewelry is so pretty and elegant, drawing inspiration from the natural world, with a splash of vintage sophistication thrown in for good measure. The poppies in the wind necklace pictured above is one of my favorites. And aren't these French inspired earrings just delightful?
