My sister-in-law recently turned me on to zulily.com, a new web site offering daily deals for moms, babies and kids. I’m hooked. The deals and brands are fabulous (last week the tea collection was 70% off!), and I’ve loved discovering some fun new lines.

The other day I bought this playhouse cottage for Hadley under $20. But be warned: if something catches your eye there’s no time to mull it over. It may not be around tomorrow. Still bummed about the olive beannie hat I let slip through my fingers last week.

I’m very fond of…
JAM!

Enjoy the 4th of July weekend! Do you have fun and festive plans?

Birthstone Necklace

June 4, 2010 by dailygnome 1 Comment

One of my clients, Wallin & Buerkle, creates initial charms and tags. Strung together on a chain they tell a unique story. For my mom’s birthday, my sister and I put together this necklace for the grandchildren to give her. Originally I thought to use each of their four initials but she suggested birthstones instead paired with a sterling silver tree token. Being all born in different months, the result produced a colorful sprinkling:
