Gracey Bags

How adorable are these clutches that Bailey gave us as bridesmaids gifts?? They are all so fitting for each of us!

They are from Etsy (a true love of mine), a designer known as Graceybags who makes individual bags and also bags just for brides-to-be. (She also has a blog: Gracey Bags. The picture above is from her blog and I was so excited to find it because I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of Emilie and Lauren’s bags. Jackpot.)

The handmade bags come in all different fabrics. They are so colorful and fun!

Here is my bag…
Eee! LOVE!!!
Thanks Bails!!! Cutest idea EVER!

OAK: Handmade Clothing & Gifts

I stumbled upon a really adorable store today on Newbury Street– Oak: Handmade Clothing and Gifts. It’s located between Fairfield and Gloucester Streets and has really fun Etsy-like stuff. Totally great for gift giving. Or self giving. I was in love the second I walked in. If I owned a store, I would want it to be like this one.
SO fun.


It’s busy, but in a good way. Like a “everything is so precious I wish I had more money” kind of way. Handmade gifts by REAL people like you and me. Except I can’t make this kind of stuff. I only wish I could.

Don’t you just love these little sock monkeys? I do.


Stop on by sometime:

MMMm chocolate. Hotel Chocolat.

I need to tell you about this really fun and really delicious chocolatier on Newbury Street. Hotel Chocolat. A chocolate store, not a hotel. But boy, wouldn’t that be a treat if it was! Although, if it was a hotel I’m sure I would never be able to stay there for real. Only in my dreams. The chocolate is pretty pricy so I can only imagine what a night at the hotel would cost. It’s fun to think about though. Chocolate, chocolate, everywhere. I love chocolate. Yes I do. I got this little container of Tiddly Pots for a gift. So cute and so small! They are like little tiny buttons you might find on a cardigan. Perfectly sized. Perfectly delicious.
They have so many yummy looking treats and everything is so creative. I just love stuff like this. Great gift ideas for anyone who loves chocolate. MMmm. Mmmmmmm.
