Fuzzy Accents

Tuesday, January 19, 2010

My first blog entry of 2010! I hope this year has been fabulous for you so far! I've been on vacation, travelling, shopping and eating, so 2010 has gotten off to a wonderful start!

Even though January is usually an unenthused, post-Holiday downer, returning to reality right now isn't so bad for me as it is the time I get to find cool, new things for the store! While it's bleak and raining, I get to focus on Spring and I look forward to sharing all my fun discoveries with you!

I was recently introduced to the cutest thing that I had to have in the store! Although I try to avoid having too much going on with accessories and steer clear of unnecessary trimmings, when I saw these Faux Fur-trimmed Socks, I was smitten! They add alot without being too much! They pretty much look right on any boot-style, even rainboots! The best part? They are machine-washable!

All the prints can come in one of 4 ways; with a leather buckle trim, a corseted trim with pom-poms; a silk-ribbon corseted trim or plain. Feel free to call and request what you don't see online.

For the Foodie and the Sweet-Tooth

Monday, December 21, 2009

Being quite food-obsessed and an extreme chocoholic, I love this time of year! Right now, it's all about indulgence until New Years resolutions must take place. I love giving and receiving foodie gifts and sweets. Here are some more of my picks. Let the last-minute frenzy begin!

The Food Snob's Dictionary - Entertaining and authentically informative, this travels through the alphabet explaining the buzz-terms that fuel the food-zealots, from "Affinage" to "Zest," with stops along the way to explain "grass-fed," "farmstead," "dry-farmed" and "Sous-Vide." It is all served up with a huge dollop of wit!

It Doesn't Count if...It's the Last One - There's nothing fun about dieting. Except cheating! More than 200 reasons why you can eat what you want without a hint of guilt!

Cook Up A Cookbook: Create Your Own Recipe Book From Scratch - Create a cookbook full of all your recipes. This kit provides you with the tools and inspiration to help you organize, personalize and preserve your recipes for posterity.

Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia Child - If you know of an enthusiastic home cook who hasn't already been inspired to buy this book after watching Julie & Julia, this is the gift for them! Bon Appetit!

Hand-Cut Glass Bottle Stopper - 3 shapes to choose from, comes in a lovely gift pouch.

English Toffee Bar - Each box has an assortment of milk and dark chocolate.

Holiday Bark Bar Gift Box - Gorgeous assortment of 3 holiday barks - Hazelnut Crunch Bark, Chocolate Peppermint Bark, Chocolate Gingerbread Bark.

Chocolate-Covered Graham Crackers - My favourite with both milk and dark chocolate!

Giving Laughter

Friday, December 18, 2009

Inspirational literature and messages warm the heart and soothe the soul - which is great and all, but the messages that put a smile on my face are more snarky, honest and even a little bitter. These crazy days everyone could stand to take themselves less seriously. So, I just want to share a few whimsical and devilish bits and bobs that have made me laugh and would make perfect little gifts for others who could use a good guffaw.

Savin Up for Jesus Tin Bank - Give yourself a Faith Lift! Perfect for storing pennies.

Mine Not Yours Mighty Tag - Eco-friendly, eye-catching and nearly impossible to tear bag tags.

Life Savings Coin Purse - Great stocking stuffer. Made with 95% recycled material.

Stop Shopping Mighty Wallet - Tear and water-resistant, expandable and recyclable.

The Geeks' Guide to World Domination - Be afraid beautiful people, Geeks now rule the world.

Oinking Alarm Clock - The alarm is the sound of an oinking pig.

How to Hug a Porcupine - How to love the difficult people in your life. Everyone has at least a few in their daily lives!

Gay Haikus - Readers can now appreciate more important things like the changing of boyfriends and the miracles of shopping! Also available are Haikus for Jews and Hipster Haikus

Keep Calm and Carry On Journal - based on a motivational WWII poster commissioned by the British government's Ministry of Information in 1939, this slogan is so very...British.

My Dysfunctions Guided Journal - The perfect gift for your favourite dysfunctional loved one with famous, thought-provoking quotes of psychological realism on every page.

In My Humble Opinion Guided Journal - For the opinionated friend who likes to vent. The journal vents back with quotes from famous fellow misanthropes.
