Win $40 to NOVICA

Finding the perfect Mother’s Day gift can be a challenge when something from a large retailer doesn’t seem special enough. I usually plan months ahead and purchase gifts from art fairs and galleries to tuck away for special occasions.

Luckily, the need to stockpile presents is lessened with NOVICA. In association with National Geographic, NOVICA features the work from artisans around the world. The site is expansive, featuring everything from Mexican blown glass to West African jewelry. To make your shopping easier, there’s a curated Mother’s Day section to guide you to the perfect gift for mom. 

Here are my favorites:

  1. Glass Pitcher, $39.49
  2. Porcelain Jar, $124.95
  3. Amethyst Earrings, $57.95
  4. Mirror, $172.95
  5. Stacking Rings, $94.95
  6. Cocktail Ring, $57.95
  7. Beaded Box, $62.95
  8. Glass Bowl, $47.95

NOVICA is giving one reader a $40 gift certificate to put toward an artisan pick of your own. To enter, just scour the site and let me know what you’d love to give (or get!). As always, there are bonus entries for your continued support. Good luck!

Friday Find Under $50

Zara clutch, $35.90

Contrary to popular advice, I don’t mind investing in a trendy statement piece when it’s something so perfect for my closet that a cheaper alternative just won’t do. My standout was a YSL arty ring long before Yves was dropped from the name. $195 was a lot to pay for a metal and glass cocktail ring (now it’s $290), but it was “the one” and I still wear it regularly. A metallic clutch (or a lucite one, for that matter) is not that type of purchase for me. I’d rather experiment with this budget-friendly Zara version.

Reminder! Win a pair of bangle bracelets from Sequin!

Instant Replay: April 2013

May 1, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

Went mod. Admired the first signs of spring. Enjoyed a clear day after weeks of rain. Spent an afternoon at local watering holes. Finally found the perfect pair of pointy black flats. Scooped up a pair of floral shorts. Went to Milwaukee for an overnight getaway. Visited the Milwaukee Brewing Company. Giggled my way through Mindy Kaling’s book. Adored a surprise bouquet of daisies from Dave. Wore this necklace a lot. Pulled out a few springtime accessories. 

I’d love to keep in touch with you on Instagram! You can find me at @bedknobsandbaubles.

Created by Loren Barham, Loren Hope is a jewelry line best described as a modern – and colorful! – approach to vintage. An array of rhinestones, semi-precious stones and Czech glass embellish Loren’s hand-crafted designs. It’s almost impossible to choose a favorite from her collection, but the darling sunburst studs in malachite top my list.

Shop the Highlights: Collette necklace // Sunburst studs // Leda bracelet // Clara earrings // Petra pendant

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
