Origami Fun

I love these fun graphic origami boxes which you can find via square one blog. I'd love to design some beads around these color combos and then how cool would it be to have matching boxes. love these, k

Blogging Necessity and The Perfect gift

Blogging pals if you haven't seen these already I am here to tell you these sleek notepads found at Barnes and Noble are an indispensable blogging tool. Why you may ask are these the best? Lots of other similar items out there. Well here's why. First and foremost they are chic but oh so cheap. A whopping $4.50 apiece. But aside from the price, great colors and graphics the best part is you can't close the pad without inserting the pen. As in I can't lose the pen in the quagmire of my purse. And you all know that when out and about a good blogger needs quick access to pen, pad and the latest web address or source to run home and google. Oh and you can get refill pads as well. All right there behind the counter at Barnes and Noble. I have them in every color and so do most of "my girls". because they also make the perfect gift. k

Napastyle

I couldn't post just one photo from this darling online
store called napastyle. And these are just a few of so
many cute products. Plan on spending a few minutes on
this pretty extensive site. Lots of eye candy to navigate
here. enjoy, k

Gift Bag Addiction

Just got back from a gift exchange party and this
darling gift bag santa from Papyrus held my gift which
had to be made of paper. I had all sorts of xmas gift tags
and a pack of xmas thank you cards jammed into santa's
backpack. Very cute and as usual had more trouble parting
with the gift bag than the gift. k

The Perfect Gift, Sundance

I love the rough hewn style of these gorgeous earring
trees, a signature item from the Sundance catalog. Add a
pair of their handcrafted earrings and I think you would
have the perfect gift. At least for me anyway. Plan to spend
a bit of time browsing this amazing resource. Many fine
artisans are featured here. k

Leafy Clean!

There are soaps and then there are soaps. I think
I would feel extra clean with these wispy bits of
nature doing the job. And what a fun gift these would
make. Love these and you can find them at Wrapables
here. k

Perfect!

I found these darling felted flower rings via
adorn's blog on a wonderful site called ornamentea.
They are definite contenders for those perfect little
somethings I like to give "my girls" for xmas. And
lots of other cute things here. enjoy, k

Rwanda Path To Peace

Macys rocks! And even better we finally have one in
Medford, Oregon mere minutes from Ashland. In
partnership with the Rwanda Path To Peace Project
they have provided an audience for the amazing weavers
of Rwanda and their gorgeous baskets. Rwanda's women
are literally climbing out of their nightmare one basket at
a time. To read about their story go here. If you'd like to
support these courageous women you can find these exquisite
baskets here. I love the mini ornaments in pic 1. Would be
wonderful gifts for pretty much everyone on my list.
awesome, k

A Gift From K style

Here they are. All packaged up and ready to go to Suzy
over at Lorenzstudio. Wanted to show you all a couple
of things before I send. First of all the packaging came from
my favorite, The dollar Store and then I'm absolutely
crazy about the spiral paper clips that you see in the
photograph. They can be found at Michaels or other
stationery type stores and they make everything look so
much better than regular paper clips. I even use them to
display my earring charms. Thought you might enjoy. And
don't forget I'm giving away another pair of my xmas balls
next month so stay tuned here at kstyle for lots of fun stuff
coming up. k

Styling With Fish, Ceramica Blue

Check out these darling fish platters from Ceramica Blue.
I found this amazing line via Decor 8 awhile back and I
thought they deserved a xmas mention. Located in the
UK plan to spend a bit of time on this site. Lots of gorgeous
gift potential here. k

Stylin With Fish, Adler

Everything fish seems to run in my family so it's no
surprise that I love these new fish salt and pepper
shakers by Jonathan Adler. Definitely makes my xmas
gift pick list 2006.

And speaking of fish R is leaving for Mexico today for
a fishing trip with J. They're headed for a small fishing
village called La Farra somewhere near Manzanillo. I'm
just a little bit jealous, not of the fishing but of the warmth,
the beach and the lobster eating. Trying to remember why
I agreed to this guy bonding trip in the first place. Oh well
soon it will be my turn. Maybe a trip to Santa Fe with the
girls. Nos Vemos. k

A "Target" for Pots

I don't know about you but finding the perfect trivet always
seems to illude me. I wan't something sophisticated yet practical
and of course exceptionally well designed. So when I came across
these interchangeable rings by Kirsten White I was thrilled. Check
out the various color combos here. Such a great concept and
right on target. k

The Perfect Gift

I'm always on the lookout for gifts for "my girls" so when
I saw these " lady pens" in Oprah's latest magazine I knew they
would make my list. You can find these and four other styles
at pylones. Love these and I'm pretty sure I don't have a
single girlfriend who wouldn't. K

Red Polkas from Kate Spade

Who's not crazy about kate spades's tidbit plates but what could
be more fun and festive then this set in holiday red. Anybody out
there reading this who have me on their xmas list, MOM, this is a
sure winner. To die for. k

Napkins Never Had It So good

All I need now is the beach house to go with these
absolutely adorable napkin holders. What could be cuter
than these? I found these today while browsing
through my new "Architectural Digest" and I almost
fell out of my chair which trust me looks nothing like
these. I thought I'd just pop over to the site called
Mariposa-gift.com for a quick look but it is so chalk
full of creative and playful designs that you can plan
on spending some serious time here. There are gift
ideas galore and overall the prices were excellent. I
love these. k

Chocolate Collage, Rex Ray

Now these are my idea of "art" chocolates and I
can't think of a more perfect gift to please the hard to buy
for friend or boss. These gourmet chocolates were designed
by graphic designer and artist Rex Rey and you can see
some of his work here. To take a look these chocolates and
other fabulous choices spend some time at Recchiuti
Confections online shop. I'm loving these, k

Eye Candy from Artecnica

I came across these amazing bottle stoppers
while browsing spray glue a new favorite blog
and I was just wowed. I have seen other
products by the amazing company Artecnica but
these just took my breath away. Absolutely
gorgeous. I'd probably leave some "fake" wine
in a bottle just to have one for display. enjoy, k

The Perfect Gift!

I love to find the perfect gifts for friends and family. One
of my favorite places to shop for that "darling something"
is Paddington Station here in Ashland. They obviously have
a great buyer for the store because I don't think I've ever
come out of there without a bag in my hand. Yesterday,
after lunch with the "girls" we stopped in and I was
immediately drawn to the almost edible "cupcake"
scarves by co. Too Sweet. They looked good enough to eat
and what a perfect gift. enjoy, k

Gift Bag Addiction

Robert insists that I have enough gift bags to last both
our lifetimes but then I respond that yes while true at
least my habit is cheap and made of paper. So you will see
evidence of my habit here on k style like these gorgoous bags
from designer Ayomi Yoshida which I picked up while
browsing Target yesterday. The line includes a large
group of mix and match pieces all with bold, clean graphics
and gorgeous shapes. The origami crane "bows' were a
knockout. k
