The Collector

Today we awoke to a lovely brisk and fall-like day (though it is nearly 80 outside now), and it's put me into a mood for collecting things.  Bring on the cold Mother Nature... I'm ready!

Acrylic Mounted Insects at Mothology, Butterfly Window Necklace by Alexis Bittar at Clay Pot, Diadora Boots by Delman at Zappos.

I'm all aflutter...

Sooo... all you patient and lovely readers, here is the news I promised you:

Wren & Chickadee is the brand new etsy shop that my daughter (chickadee) and I dreamed up.  In it you will find an assortment of fabulous vintage, remade, and handmade items... we hope you'll stop by for a visit.

I've just begun to fill it with some of the many treasures we've collected together and there is much more to come, so be sure to check back from time to time for new goodies.

Until then, xo Ez (aka Wren)

In Good Company: Lush Bella

I've come to love the photographs of Lush Bella (on flickr)... and so you can imagine my delight when I discovered that she also creates gorgeous jewelry which she sells in her online shop (also named) Lush Bella.  Each piece has such feeling of depth and history about it.  Like a treasure pulled from your grandmother's hope chest.  Stop by her site here, and don't miss out on her lovely and inspirational photos on flickr as well.

P.S.  I will be revealing my "exciting news" that I spoke of a month or so ago... later today or tomorrow.  So please stay tuned.  xo Ez
