FFF – Dramatic Necklaces, Hand crafted bowls, and New Friends

September 7, 2012

Happy Fun, Free Friday lovelies!

Online Discounts

I first found out through Fab from Diana and I am so happy to have discovered it! The site is like a curated selection of fun Etsy products on sale. I do love Etsy, but it is HUGE and finding things can be overwhelming.  So I definitely like the concept of viewing a smaller selection of unique products from art and fashion to home decor.

I was smitten enough that I had to share these finds (I’ve been thinking of doing a regular artisan feature – what do you think?):

– Statement jewelry (at least one piece) is a requisite part of every woman’s jewelry box.  I have vintage Christian Dior and my beloved Lanvin for H&M necklaces, but love to discover new designers as well.  This drama necklace – gold filled by Caja jewelry is ridiculously edgy and as dramatic as its name dictates.  I’d love to pair it with a simple LBD.

– Maybe it’s the strawberries, maybe it’s the design on the bowl, but I was instantly drawn to this serving bowl by Beehive Kitchenware.  Doesn’t this picture remind you of a good summer’s day?

Sign up for Fab and I promise you’ll find fun stuff.  Here is my link if you need it!

Otherwise this weekend I am…

…meeting a friend of a friend that is on a temporary assignment here.  The fun thing about living in a transient place is that there are always lots of new faces popping up.  While I can’t be sure that we will be fast friends, I know what it’s like to move around the world and have to start the whole “getting to know you” process all over.  If I make a good friend in the process, it is always a bonus!  That and I am taking her to a great restaurant in town so I am a good friend to know too!

What are you doing this weekend?

Have a fabulous weekend!

    Happy Friday! You are a dream friend to meet in a new place! When I moved a few years back it was so hard to make good new friends, so I value people who make the effort to be friendly and reach out 🙂

      Aww thanks for the sweet comment Mary Jo! I’ve moved around a bit in the last few years so I definitely know what it is like to be a new face in a new place!

    I adore statement necklaces, and that bowl is too cute. Have a great time at dinner – at the very least, you’ll get a great meal. At best, a new friend! Happy weekend!

    The items on Fab are really quite fab. Sorry couldn’t resist. I’ve been tempted by a few items but have yet to make a purchase though.

    Have a nice weekend with your new friend. You definitely sound like a good friend to know 🙂 I think I might hit up the Sartorialist exihbit in Chelsea this wkd.
