Welcome to Kate Long Stevenson’s very first blog sale!
You have no doubt lusted over Kate Long Stevenson’s paintings, for it’s nary a blog that hasn’t doted over her work.  And if you’re a regular reader here, you’ve seen Kate’s name pop up quite a few times… That’s because Kate’s figurative and abstract interpretations are nothing short of extraordinary.  So it’s no surprise that she’s been featured in Coastal Living, Southern Living, and Lonny Magazine, just to name a few. 
Titled “Vivaldi
  
Inspired by music to which she is listening, Kate works her way through each piece she paints while using color to express emotion.  The resulting paintings are an expression of movement as much as they are of beauty.
Today we all have the opportunity to own our very own piece of Kate’s work. 
Below you’ll find 19 framed, original, small works in a range of prices and sizes.
Maybe a little holiday gift to yourself, you’ve been wanting to expand your art collection afterall… or for someone special on your list!
Each piece’s info (title, size, and price) is listed below the piece.  All works are
  comprised of gouache, oil pastel + graphite on paper.  The figures are each
floating in a simple cream frame so that the beveled edge of the paper is visible,
and the measurement listed is of the paper itself. The small abstracts are behind
mat board and in cream frames as well.  Shipping charge is $10 per piece.

Happy Friday! Today I’m over at my friend Gaby’s blog, The Vault Files, sharing a fun holiday inspired guest post. Be sure to check it out here!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you all know that there is a J.Crew Shoe of the Month Club??  It’s kinda like super secret and you have to call about it.  Well, I’m pulling out this post from my archives so that you can see my review that I did last year, juuust in case you missed it.  After Lilly was born my feet changed a bit, so for Christmas that year my Dad gave me the J.Crew Shoe of the Month Club to help build up my shoe collection :)  SO FUN.  Maybe I should join again this year???

Like I said, I’m pulling this post from the archives – so this review was based on a 2010 membership.  Enjoy :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you ever wondered about the J.Crew Shoe of the Month Club?  If you’re a serious shoe addict like me then you probably have.  In fact, I will go as far as to say that if you read my blog you probably have.  When I began researching the club last year, I could find NOTHING.  Seriously, it was like an exclusive secret society that was kept under wraps.  So, of course I joined.  Every month when that specially chosen pair arrived on my doorstep it was like pure bliss.  And I’m here today to throw back the curtain and reveal my year worth of shoes.  Delight.   

I chose to receive all heels, but you can also choose all flats or a mixture of both.

January: Soleil Nubuck Platform Heels.  $225

February: Dani Neon Leather Heels.  $235 (Arrived just in time for Valentine’s Day)

March: Lilly Peeptoe Heels.  $ 228

April: Caden Suede Cork Wedges.  $150

May: Julienne Suede Heels.  $198

June: Sardinia Wedge Espadrille Heels.  $118

July: Demetra Heels.  $198

August: Langford Leather High Heel Oxfords.  $275

September: Bronson Suede Booties.  $250

October: Miller High Heel Motorcycle Boots.  $298

November: Archer Peep-Toe Ankle Boots.  $250

December: Gibson Suede Lace-up Platform Sandal.  $275

You may be wondering why I’m including the prices.  This is so you can see that you really do get a deal on all of these shoes by joining the club.

My Review = Best club ever!  While I love to shop (you all know this by now) it was also thrilling to have J.Crew’s stylists surprise me every month with a new gorgeous pair.

I’ve been eyeing these little paper mache bowls for awhile now.  They’re only $10, and I think they would be THE perfect little container for filling with holiday goodies and hostess gifts that the recipient will really want to keep and cherish.

I’ve paired them with these incredible oreo brownies.  How do I know these brownies are incredible?  Because my good friend and fellow blogger Natalie from Designer Bags and Diaper Bags brought them to me – and yep, they’re incredible.  She’s sharing the recipe here!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also, I’m over at Mimi + Meg sharing my holiday tradition & wishlist.  Be sure to pop over and check it out.  While you’re there, go ahead and click “follow” because I assure you that Meg’s blog will be one of your favorites if it isn’t already.  Promise.
