The Shopping Sherpa: Cool to the Touch

The Shopping Sherpa: Cool to the Touch

Three interesting notes regarding a couple of the items in this here Shopping Sherpa collection.

1) The Awesome-with-a-capital-A glass ring (top left) was handmade by one Arlie Trowbridge, who emailed to introduce me to her shop, Urban Revisions. But I beat Arlie to the punch! I found Urban Revisions a few weeks ago, and have been “favoriting” her unique shredded tees and organic glass rings like a madwoman. Thanks for reading Westerin, Arlie, and double thanks for emailing!!!

2) You may recognize the repurposed lace earrings (bottom right) as being from Tree & Kimball, a regular here on our bloggedy-blog. You probably don’t know, however, that Lisa, my special pen-pal and the evil genius behind T&K, has recently shared some lucky news. Tree & Kimball will now be carried in Anthropologie! I kinda feel like I know a famous person (even though we’ve never actually met in person, and I guess that professional success and recognition aren’t quite the same as being “famous”… at least not in the “Us Weekly” sense). Congratulations, dear!!!

3) Every item here is sooo cooooooool. Gimme! I want it all.

The Shopping Sherpa: Fitzy’s Puttin’ on the Ritz

handmade cat crafts from Etsy

I can’t deny it. I’m that girl. The girl that buys unnecessary accessories for her cat, takes a gazzilion and one pictures of said cat, and forces her co-workers to watch countless videos of same cat doing ordinary cat things that only she finds sickeningly cute. (We’re not going to inflict such photos and videos on you. Not just yet, anyway. Be on the lookout for endless Flickr albums of our dear Fitzgerald…) And you know what? I’m not ashamed. I’m a proud cat mamma! I’m even thinking about celebrating ol’ Fitzy’s birthday (we’ll have to make up a birthdate for him), and I’ve picked out a few kitty gifts for him!
