its wednesday, hump day and i consider it a success that i am cozied up in my little house finishing up work on some projects and feeling tired but at peace with it all.   so tonight i bring you the beauty i have witnessed out there that is leaving me feeling a wee bit blissed out,

1. brand new items up at l'essence du monde etsy shoppe.  i am totally digging the classic simplicity with a funky bit of groovy vibe of the necklace above.  i can totally see me wearing it with a soft grey turtleneck or a funky wrap dress or even a tee and jeans.  love that.

am also really digging her carnival necklaces, especially this one,

lucky for you, my pact prohibits me from buying anything right now but i'm making a christmas list and checking it twice because there is nothing in the pact that says others can't buy me presents. 

2.  the absolutely wonderful news of miss liz lamoreux, go see her video and wish her congratulations on her best news ever ... where she shares some really good news!

3.  jenna also has some news, a not so secret secret ... excitement!

4.  bella made me smile large :-)

5.  and i am really enjoying this new to me site, particularly this tutorial on how to make pom pom flowers, guess what i'm doing this weekend?
