Elise Linenger, Stella & Dot Independent Consultant, has a beautiful page with fantastic jewelry. Her blog mixes fashion forward style with real-life stuff {like who do you rock out to? and latest runway fashions}. Stella & Dot is a fabulous and inspiring company, and Elise makes their products that much more realistic for today's fashista ladies {or wannabe's like me!}

Love handmade jewelry? This girl has a style all her own and I love it! Lisa's Urban Nostalgia blog shows off her unique style and her beautiful jewelry with antique flair. Her Etsy store can be found here - Christmas is coming people! And my favorite color is blue. Just sayin'.

Fab Blogs Rated PG-13

Shhhhh! Just Between You and Me is an honest blog about Tiffany - a beautiful 29 year old girl living life to the fullest with her lovely family! She's a mom blogger who's not afraid to tell it like it is! You should visit her -especially on Weird Me Wednesday's Blog Hop and make a new friend!

Visit Sarah's Organized Chaos for some wild reads! She's a talented papercrafter with a great Etsy Shop, but don't let the flowers fool you!

Look at this braided bread wreath {below}. I mean pa-lease people! It is gorgeous and I can't wait to try it! {Step by step instructions with pictures included}.

An American Girl in Bristol shared this yummy recipe for Chicken & Chickpea Korma {Yum!} for her Slow Cooker Saturday series. Melissa shares about her life as she studies education and works on her future and her goals in life.

Photography

Define You Photography stopped by, and what can I say? Gorgeous! I love how Jillian chronicles the sessions as well as the beautiful results.

Thursday's Blog has Bloggy Clips 9.30.10 {Awesome DIYs}

Here are some of my favorite clips from surfing the Blog Wave this week!

And what a week it has been! Last night was my youngest son's "Back to School Night" where I had to give a mini speech about our Parents Advisory Council {We're here to help!}, AND my darling hubby's birthday {If you haven't been to Buca di Bepo, you must go. Now.}!

In related news, I get to coordinate a dessert table for our Spooktacular Fall Dance for 200-300 people on Halloween weekend. Wha??? Excited and scared and recruiting slave labor. :-O

This weekend we are heading up to Ipswich Castle Hill for our annual family pix with the Callinas, and looking forward to next week - possibly visiting the Providence Zoo for their Jack-O-Lantern Extravaganza and hopefully taking home a pound puppy named Suzie! {That is not her, but she looks like that!}

On with the bloggy clips!

Pumpkin Spice cupcake skewers from WhipperBerry. This blog is so lovely, you can spend hours here perusing her posts and getting very inspired. Instructions included.

DIY Kids Playstove from My Delicious Ambiguity. This was not a new post for them, but new to me and complete with tutorial. Perfect for Thanksgiving when your little one wants to "help" in the kitchen or for Grandma's house - so portable! Tutorial and printables included.

The Pink Peony of Le Jardin is genius. She has lots of great and inspiring stuff - like this $3 Specimen Decoration. Tutorial included on site.

Living Out Loud has a list of fabulous free Jack-O-Lantern patterns. Nice!

A Pumpkin and a Princess put together this darling mock-bubble gum dispenser with a clay pot set, a dollarstore jar and a wooden knob. I LERVE THIS! Full tutorial on their site!

Tomorrow is Friday! If you haven't linked up on our linky party for Feature Me! Friday from last week, do it now! :)

Thursday's Blog has Bloggy Clips - Fall Decorating 9.16.10

Today's blog features some spooktacular fun from Sawdust and Paper Scraps. This girl is brilliant! I love her freecycle ways and her creative and inexpensive projects and ideas.

Check out her post on making these awesome Halloween candlesticks with recycled lamps and some dollar store stuff!



Here's another great fall decorating post from Thrifty Decor Chick. It's a great SQUARE Dollar Store Wreath for the whole fall season. You can use this right through Thanksgiving, and it's unique shape is really appealing.



Finally, a fun and thrifty decorating post for fall from I Saw That Going Differently In My Mind.

[On a side note, I have to say that every time I read the name of her blog, I chuckle a little inside. It's one of my favorite lines from the movie Hitch with Will Smith {although I don't know if that's her inspiration}. If you haven't seen that movie - do. It makes me laugh every time.]

Ok, back to the clip! This is a super cute way to decorate, use some either inexpensive hurricanes vases or apothecary jars or some you might already have. Check out the blog post here.



Don't forget - today's your last chance to leave your link on my blog party post for tomorrow's Feature Me Friday!

And there is a fall coupon through the end of next week for 50% off any order of $15.00 or more. FALL12010 Tell all your friends!

Later today I will be posting my 2nd Halloween theme for your enjoyment!

Best,
Krysten
