La Vie en Curlsz Part One

I just received this fabulous bedding for our annual KW auction - I am so excited that my friend Crystal was able to donate and really get her name out there - she is incredibly talented!!

If anyone is looking for some custom bedding, babies to adults check out her website - below is what she donated.

Ok so sometimes I will compose the perfect item such as outfit, purse etc in my head then beat my skull against every boutique wall looking for it. So I've been wanting a long chained simple lariat for soooo long - and every one I see is so bulky. Well one of my favorite designers on Etsy had some great lariats, however none of them were the perfect image I had in my head.

So I gave up and finally contacted her describing best I could what I wanted and asking her if she had anything similar - turns out what I described was basically what she was currently working on. Bada bing bada boom I got the perfect necklace!!! So I told her I loved it, she uploaded it, three people marked it as their favorites I beat them all away with a stick and bought it!!! Yay, thank you luxedeluxe for putting up with this lunatic!

And no she will not copy one for you - because I forbid her too!!! No copies no copies no copies (face red fists clinched). But feel free to browse the many other lovely selctions and find one to your liking ;-)

I think I have failed to share my favorite online shopping tool - Etsy.com - I ended up on it last night looking for a simple silver necklace, an everyday necklace. I remembered how much I love this site and the way it allows artisans to really get their work out there to the world rather than confining them to local shops and farmer's markets.

From artwork to clothing to jewelry to just about anything - if you are into the rare/unique then this is the perfect spot! You can even create an account and a page of your favorites, which makes shopping all the easier - I think this Christmas is going to be an Etsy Christmas - hey they gift wrap. And Lord knows I can NOT handle those idiots out at the stores!!!

Oh and if you sign up for an account say that curlsz referred you.

Ok time for a product shout out!!

For you fellow curly heads who want to keep the curl - this stuff is awesome (read in sing song voice)

Curl Conscience Line - I especially love the Calming Creme

So I got Shawna hooked on it - she bought the Straightening cream and didn't even use her flat iron but it looked as if she had - I was amazed!

I stumbled on this line from dooce's site - she was raving about the Grooming Creme but when inquiring about it at Blue Elephant they took one look at the quaff and steered me towards the curl line.

So now I'm looking for a hair care sponsor so I can fulfill this wish list of mine!!! (You can purchase the sample sizes or travel sizes which is what I have done) Sigh - so fun, hard being a woman.
