Currently Coveting: Gadget Gear

An iPhone, a blackberry, two laptops and too many notebooks to count…no wonder I’m a bit scattered at the moment.  I’m working out a plan to streamline the mess, which of course for me starts with some online shopping!!  On my gadget wishlist today:

A new iPad cover with a slot for a notebook, business cards, pen – and I’m hoping a lip gloss:)  Perfect for the me who likes to be connected, but still enjoys the actual process of writing…

Since my iPad has become the default cookbook, I’m eyeing this stand that perfectly displays the recipe du jour on our kitchen island.  Bonus – the stylus would keep my screen food-free…

I’m thinking it’s time to upgrade from the standard issue Apple headphones to something a little more grown-up…

A beautiful wood speaker + docking station for my iPhone…definitely not a need, but oh-how-cool.

Shop to Love: Olive Manna

Hello bloggy friends!  I’m so sorry for my absence – life has been so amazingly FULL lately that I’ve had to let a few things fall to the wayside.   Regular blog posting being one of them.  I’ll try to be back a little more often this fall, but with the arrival of baby Sones fast approaching – I’m not making any promises:)  In the meantime -  I wanted to share some soothing eye candy with you this Tuesday.

A shop I’ve long adored – but recently rediscovered, Olive Manna, is proving to be a great site for nursery inspiration!  After spying this nursery nook on ohdeedoh, I immediately hopped over to Olive Manna’s shop to track down some must-have supplies.

A few of my current obsessions are shown here – don’t you think they’d make the perfect finishing touches for a nursery?  Soothing for baby and mom…

I’m off to place an order pronto!

a doozy of druzy…

I’ve long been crushing on this druzy ring from the oh-so-fab Melissa Joy Manning.  But alas, I can’t bring myself to part with the $1k it would take to make it my own…instead, I’ve got my eye on these equally as lovely but much more palatable baubles.

Etsy Finds: Handmade for the Holidays

There’s nothing I love more than crafting gifts for my friends and family…this year though, I’ve barely found the time to complete my shopping list, let alone craft for hours.  Instead, I’m turning to Etsy for some handmade goodness to share with those I love.

Loving all kinds of druzy rings…like this one and this one.

Wouldn’t this vintage fur jacket be amazing over all of your holiday dresses?

This poster shop is pretty rad.

I love this stop motion video from Olympus…have you seen it?

xoxo, jill.

Today I’m Loving: Personalized Paper

I’m having one of those never-ending crazy days (weeks, months, year…) and thinking that personalized writing goods would make it all better.

Not really, but the thought of taking the time to handwrite a heartfelt note seems like a welcome break to these technology warped hands of mine.

And, psssst.  Wouldn’t a personalized gift like these make the perfect holiday surprise for a friend?

This cold weather has me thinking snow…but here in Texas, I’ll have to settle for some winter white gazing instead.
