Priceless

Thank you Liana at Mixed Plate for bringing this video into my life.  I especially love the shiny yellow pants.

The obsession with Coraline continues

Ok so I was so excited when I heard Coraline was coming out, even more excited to see it, and absolutely can’t wait to buy the DVD when it comes out just so I can watch all the behind the scenes stuff about the handmade goodness in the movie.  But this… THIS I am so excited about.  What an unbelievably smart marketing tactic.  The makers of Coraline sent 50 mystery Coraline boxes to 50 bloggers across the sphere.  You can check many of them out here.  If I were the recipient of one of these goodies I would have talked about it 6 ways to Sunday.  What a great way to reach out to influentials and get them excited about the movie.  It’s something we can all learn from in our business endeavors as well.

However, I’m also excited to see how others are taking this idea to a whole different level.  My Little Mochi came up with a great idea for an indie craft mini-mystery box swap where crafters could sign up to participate in the swap. You can see where these amazing crafters have taken this project/challenge in the Coraline Mystery Box Flickr pool.  Super neat.

Sometimes love can come so easily….

Etsy never ceases to stop providing lovely things over which I can fawn.  Check out these AMAZING scarves by Necklush .

I am always wearing scarves and am never really warm unless my neck is warm.  If anyone, Robbie, wants to buy me one of these as a gift, I would be delighted and the gift giver might score some points.

And so the acorn obession continues

What is my deal? Maybe it’s the fall weather or the wonderful shape of acorns, but here is another great acorn find.

Check out the other lovelies by this Indie vendor, JooJoo.
