Favorite Things: Day 13


Favorite Things: Day 13 Getting & Receiving Gifts (from people I know and love...sometimes you have to make that distinction)

My friend Hansi has a special knack for picking out gifts for me that are so meaningful because they are always unique, usually handmade either by herself or from etsy, and are things that I love love love but would probably not spend the money on for myself. Take the necklace above. Hansi got it from White Owl on etsy (who was just showcased June's Lucky magazine) and whenever I wear it, I get tons of compliments. White Owl uses reclaimed vintage lace to make this one of a kind necklaces and earrings and Hansi knows that I collect vintage lace and linen so this gift was especially meaningful.

oh, and you can tell from this photo how infrequently my house gets cleaned from the spots on the mirror. nice.
