I also love her Long Turquoise Bead Necklace pictured below.  The long gold necklace measures 34" a turquoise bead is hung with a large, gold bead cap.

Thebloom has many unique button earrings for sale as well.  These Coral Lily Earrings caught my eye right away.  The design is very feminine and delicate.

I also like the Organza hair pins in peach and brown pictured here.  I think these would be great for my little girl since she is already addicted to hair bows and ribbons at the ripe old age of two.

Some people don't mind disorder.  Some people dislike disorder but simply do not have time to put everything in order.  With work, a toddler, and a household to manage, it is easy for things to get a little messy.  I crave order.  Recently I spent about 45 minutes organizing my junk drawer into little compartments.  After 8 years of "just put it in the junk drawer," I was surprised and amused by what I had accumulated!  I found match boxes from restaurants that have since gone out of business, paper clips and birthday candles and old business cards.  It is easy to let the mess creep up and take over.

I have been following Illia Kids on facebook for a while now.  I absolutely adore the awesome fabric she uses and the unique designs of her kids clothing.  Take a look at her Spring Collection and you'll fall in love as well.  I think Illia Kids clothing is bright and energetic, just like your little one!  The materials are high-quality and made to last.  Illia Kids has a large variety of beautiful items for sale on their Etsy shop so definitely check them out should you need some new clothing for your child or a special gift for someone.

This week I received an adorable dress for my daughter to try from My Baby Rocks.  It is a cute, sleeveless black dress with plaid cherries on the front.  Very unique!  Lily ripped into the package with wild abandon and wanted to try it on right away.  When I tried to get a good picture, I quickly found out that a 2 year old isn't the most patient of models.   I definitely had a great time chasing her around to try to snap some pictures.  Here she is running past me at full speed, giggling all the while.  Since the weather is cold, I think I will put a white turtleneck on under the dress, add some black tights and shoes and she'll be all decked out in her new outfit!

Rhythm & Blues is the newest addition to Putumayo’s successful American music series, which includes American Blues, New Orleans, Women of Jazz, and Mississippi Blues.

Putumayo’s newest release, Rhythm & Blues, features first generation soul legends and rising stars of the retro R&B revival. It’s the label’s first album exclusively dedicated to the genre. The 60s and 70s rhythm and blues of The Four Tops, Otis Redding and The Supremes, among others, became a global phenomenon and has inspired a new generation of artists who are reviving the classic soul sound.
