      Tadam Jewelry Offers Stylish Handmade Jewelry Created in Limited Editions with Vintage Beads, Czech Pearls and Unique Materials

      Tadam Jewelry

      I have to admit that I'm certainly not leading a glamorous life. You will typically find me in a ponytail, lounge pants, and pretending to be a little critter with a husky voice named Georgie Porgie. Occasionally I'm let out of my cage and I get to dress in clothing fitting of public outings. I love jewelry that is simple, elegant, feminine, and compliments my outfit as opposed to taking center stage. When I was introduced to Tadam Jewelry, I fell in love with their collection.

      I had a difficult time narrowing down my choices and decided on the Larisa bracelet. It's a versatile bracelet that adds the perfect amount of interest to any outfit, whether it's a casual day shopping or a romantic evening out. The Larisa arrived in a deep purple velvet drawstring bag that was nestled in a box and finished with a satin ribbon bow, ready for gift giving. The three-strand bracelet is handmade with Czech glass pearls, gold-filled beads and metal. The combination of soft luminous cocoa pearls and the delicate textures of the gold filigree beads creates an absolutely stunning bracelet. It's available in the cocoa or periwinkle blue and coordinates beautifully with the gold hoop Maya Pen earrings and the double-strand Nara pearl necklace.

      Sisters Deborah Tasato and Allyson Mellone founded Tadam Jewelry in 2005. Their handmade collections are limited editions that utilize vintage beads, Czech pearls and unique materials from around the globe. Their mission is to "create costume jewelry that is distinct, one which evokes a classic glamour we believe is inherent in women." Inspired by the Hollywood glam era, their timeless pieces are versatile and are designed to add modern flair to wardrobes of women of all ages.

      The Pashmina Store

      Some of my most cherished moments with my girls are when they were babies and I would wrap them in our softest, most luxurious blanket and cuddle with them for hours. Cashmere blankets are the ultimate in luxury for baby and are well worth the indulgence.

The lavish baby blankets are 3-ply, providing the perfect weight and thickness for little babies. Blankets are finished with the ultra soft silky satin and stitched to perfection. Their blankets are lightweight, yet warm, exceptionally soft and supple. I fell in love with these blankets the moment I held one. What's even better, is that they make mommy blankets too.

      The Pashmina Store has been specializing in top-quality Grade A luxurious cashmere products since 2000. While on a her travels to Southeast Asia, founder Charlene Martina found a deep appreciation for the process of creating each handmade cashmere item. "Pashmina is the traditional name for the very finest grade of cashmere wool. Because of it's unique softness and comforting warmth, pashmina is also known as the "diamond fabric" and the "soft gold of high Asia." Put simply, it is the finest, softest and warmest wool available anywhere."

      The Pashmina Store offers a wide selection of cashmere shawls, scarves, blankets, and more, in a variety of colors made exclusively for The Pashmina Store.

      We were recently introduced to new designer label, Maggie's Rose. They are the creators of upscale stylish Bloomin' Hats and Bands that are becoming the new must-have spring and summer fashion accessory. Their incredibly soft hand-crocheted line of hats and headbands are embellished with large colorful jeweled blossoms or crocheted roses.

      Makenna wore her new Maggie's Rose hat today for a casual spring look on our morning visit to the zoo and park. The white hat features a white crocheted rose and stretches for a perfect fit. She looked absolutely adorable and cheerfully welcomed compliments from admirers of her new stylish hat. We were able to experience first hand the exquisite craftsmanship of both the jeweled flower hat and the crocheted rose hat. Carefully selected large blooms feature a glamorous gem in the center and intricately woven roses are securely attached to each soft stretchy hat. Their gorgeous hats are perfect for upcoming Easter portraits, gatherings, or simply adding a little flair to her wardrobe.

      Dolce Sweet Custom Personalized Name Keepsake Jewelry for Baby, Toddler, and Mommy Featuring Bracelets, Necklaces, and Pet Charms

      Dolce Sweet

      I've held on to many of my childhood treasures, (besides my diary as a teen, of which I shredded) and when I'm feeling a bit nostalgic, the girls and I enjoy an afternoon giggling at my scratch & sniff sticker album and my '80's big hair photos. I don't, unfortunately, have any keepsake jewelry to pass down through generations. Dolce Sweet creates gorgeous personalized keepsake jewelry that will be cherished and enjoyed as it is passed down for generations.

      We received the most precious infant bracelet, personalized with sterling silver block letters. The dainty little bracelet is created with sterling silver flower beads and findings, and features dazzling pink and clear Swarovski crystals. A small blooming flower charm dangles near the clasp. A pink Swarovski crystal adorns the end of the extender chain, enabling it to grow with your little princess.

      Melissa Clark, the owner and designer behind these treasured keepsakes, is "inspired by having a sweet tooth for all things glam and sparkly". As a busy mom, she understands the convenience that online shopping provides and has launched her upscale online jewelry store, Dolce Sweet. Her collections include gorgeous jewelry for babies, children, and chic mamas, utilizing only the highest grade materials of sterling silver, Swarovski crystals, Czech crystals and glass, and more.

      Liliputians NYC Whimsical, Fun, Funky, and Unique Boutique Birthday Outfits Handmade from Vintage Inspired, Retro, and Funky Fabrics

      Liliputians NYC
      whimsical. quirky. fun. funky.


      If you're like me, you search for the perfect outfit for your little one's special birthday. I love a fun and funky birthday outfit that screams "party girl". (I'm teaching her early.) Liliputians sent Makenna a Birthday Cupcakes and Dots skirt set, one of their newest creations from their birthday collection. I struggle each day to get Makenna out of her PJ's, but the second she laid her eyes on her new cupcake set, she immediately stripped off her princess jammies.

      We've gotten accustomed to the high quality unique tiny fashions found at upscale boutiques. Liliputians is no exception. Their superior craftsmanship was evident from the moment I opened our package. A soft high quality knit tee features a perfectly stitched appliquéd number three, along with three coordinating delectable sprinkled cupcakes. The full ruffle style skirt is created from colorful yummy cupcake fabric and features an elastic waist that provides a comfy fit. The contrasting pink and brown polka dot fabric at the waist compliments the cupcake fabric, and is top-stitched with contrasting pink thread. Not a single stitch was out of place. Not a single loose thread found. Liliputians creations are professionally made with all the exquisite details and special touches of a handmade creation.

      Heather Flottmann, the designer and owner of independent label Liliputians, has a passion for bright fun and funky, vintage, and retro prints. Lily Belle, her adorable model and daughter, is her inspiration for the fun and funky creations. Her heirloom quality designs are limited editions or one of a kind sets that are available on her website as well as select boutiques worldwide. Her collections include a variety of coordinating barrettes and trendy outfits for babies, girls, boys, and even hip mamas. Custom requests are always welcome.

      Since Liliputians launched in 2004, they have developed a reputation for superior quality handmade outfits that have been delighting children all over the world.

      Even some famous tots wear Liliputians:
      Sienna Marie - daughter of actor Kevin James and model/actress Steffiana de la Cruz
      Sofia Bella -daughter of actress Leah Remini and singer/actor Angelo Pagan
      Lola Marie - daughter of actor Adam Sandler and model/actress Jackie Titone

      Mother Earth and Baby Playbabies Dolls, Nollie Carseat Covers, Organic Baby Clothing, Tea Collection Layette, Unique Baby Shower Gifts

      Mother Earth & Baby
      We bought Makenna her first baby doll at the age of one. A bald baby. She loves her. Although, much to her sister's dismay, she prefers their dolls with hair. Therefore, it's time for her to graduate to a doll she can relate to. A doll with hair.

      Mother Earth and Baby sent us Reagan from their adorable collection of Playbabies by Lee Middleton Dolls. For over 25 years, the talented artists at Lee Middleton Dolls have been creating award winning life-like collectible dolls. We've owned many other upscale dolls and they certainly don't compare to Lee Middleton Dolls. I am amazed at the realism of the doll, from her perfectly sculpted face, to her jointed arms and legs, and her ability to sit unassisted. Makenna sits Reagan on her hip and she seems to almost wrap her arms and legs around Makenna. She adores Reagan and has already had many "conversations" with her. Mother Earth and Baby offers the entire line of Lee Middleton Doll accessory furniture, including beds, a swing, armorie, and a little cuddlepack to carry her doll wherever she goes.
      Mother Earth and Baby was founded by Terri Scinto, who was inspired after the birth of her child to offer parents the convenience of upscale online shopping at affordable prices. Her collections began with beautiful heirloom quality items and has evolved into an extensive online boutique that includes organic clothing, baby care items, maternity must-haves, and much, much more. She carries many celebrity favorites such as the fabulous Nollie carseat covers, luxurious Minimink, and stylish Preggers n' Proud. Terri offers personalized service and personally researches and hand selects each item in an effort to offer only the very best products for you.

      Charitable Organization: DCF (Department of Children and Families) supporting domestic adoption and foster care.

      Brick House Paperie Three Designing Women Custom Stamps, Elegant and Whimsical Custom Personalized Note Cards, Stationery, Invitations, Announcements

      Brick House Paperie
      Mom always taught me the proper etiquette of writing a simple thank you note. It reflects your genuine gratitude. A thoughtful gesture that a casual online e-card does not properly convey. So why don't I? Because Mom told me to. Actually, I think it's because I didn't have these ultra chic note cards and a customized address stamp.

      These new customizable stamps from Three Designing Women, as seen on the Today Show, are available in a variety of unique and sophisticated designs. Personalize them with personal or business address information, book plates, gift card stamps, and much more. There are so many fabulous designs, I had a difficult time narrowing down the choices. I'm extremely thrilled with our new address stamp that displays our family name and address.
      The stamp is simple to use and stamped the envelope perfectly. Easy to follow instructions are included to refill the ink when the stamp begins to fade. It coordinates beautifully with my new dramatically chic Black Blossom note cards from Boatman-Geller. They are printed on premium cardstock and customized with my name in one of many font choices. Boatman-Geller's love for patterns and colors have captivated the market with their distinctive designs and superior quality.

      Brick House Paperie, owned and operated by Jennifer Free, is the paper-lover's dream. Her savvy computer skills and passion for beautiful paper has created an appealing site that is simple to navigate and filled with a wonderful selection of customized stationery, invitations, announcements, and labels.
      Her collection of stationery includes a variety of styles from whimsical and fun to elegant and sophisticated. Jennifer is a pleasure to work with and is dedicated to offering prompt and personal service.
