i heart Esty & my new {simple} necklace!

When I first began the One Little Word class with Ali Edwards, there was all sorts of talk from others about purchasing jewelry with the chosen word on it. I L.O.V.E.D. the idea, however the various sites people were referring to didn't seem to fit my budget.

After sulking for awhile, I did my own search on Etsy. I found the perfect necklace with charm from a cute little shop called HipHopHippos. It was quite reasonably priced and was the {simple} beauty I had been looking for. I messaged the shop owner, asking about customizing, etc.

Later that evening, I had a reply in hand, with a few very kind and helpful thoughts/suggestions from the shop owner about the charm size and customizing.


Before the day was over, I purchased a beautiful charm necklace and was already anticipating it's arrival.

Low and behold, on my birthday it came in the mail! What a lovely bit of inspiration from my One Little Word on my little day! :) I was jumping up and down when my husband waved it in the air telling me I had received a package.

It was very nicely packaged, though I tore it open too quickly, forgetting to take a photo.



I wore it all day on my birthday (and most of this last week!).

It is exactly what I wanted. I am very happy and plan to purchase a new charm each year to add to my necklace.

HipHopHippos also has a great selection of very cute items... I'll be adding this to my list of shopping sites to visit for future gifts!

 

This is not a sponsored post... I was just that happy with my necklace! :)

Today was a great day!

Today I...

• Slept in a bit, which was so much needed!
• Spend from when I woke, until mid-afternoon outside on the patio
• Ordered my first shutterfly book! (they are currently on sale!)
  
• Did a couple quick shopping errands with Husband and Dakota
  
• Picked a couple tomatoes and make an absolutely delish supper
• Went on a walk with Dakota and Husband to the lake
• Did some blog, photo, and general computer organizing, trying to catch up!

Sure, it was somewhat of a lazy day with my spending 1/2 of it on the patio, however I feel relaxed and accomplished. I've also been sifting through some etsy stores! I feel a wish list coming on!

Well, that is about it. Don't forget to check back! Starting on Monday, I'll be doing my craft room makeover celebration, complete with all things creative and fun, including giveaways!

If you are interested in submitting a suggestion of crafty topic for me to post about, doing a guest post (this time, or next round) or would like to donate something for the giveaways, please contact me! You can reach me through email (foreverdaisies65 (at) yahoo (dot) com), or my twitter page!
