oh so pretty!

I love each of these DIY accessory projects from Martha Stewart.  What a
lovely way to update your next outfit!  Take something that has been in your
jewelry box and give it new life.  I think my favorite is the vintage brooch
necklace - I Die!

I was excited to see Ses Petites Mains Nona Dress featured in the winter
addition of Small Magazine.  This dress can be purchased at Bella Vita and
is a great staple to any little girls wardrobe!

happy holidays!

Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!

let it rain!

 

 My rain gear has arrived from the UK company Toby Tiger and from the
amount of rain in the forecast I'd say it's not a day too soon!  Come on in and
snag these little cuties for your little puddle jumper.  Flowers for girls and
dinosaurs for boys.  If anyone knows about rain gear it would be the UK! 

And for all my patient customers, the Apple Vest is back in stock!  Hip Hip
HOORAY!!

If you've followed my blog or shopped my store you are already aware of my 

love of beautiful and creative products made from wood!  Well, I have 

something new to add to my wood obsession!  These beautiful coasters from  

pepper sprouts are lovely and make a WONDERFUL gift.  Available to

How can you go wrong with a cute little laser cut wood pin?  Along with 

the deer and rabbit there is a bird.  These little cuties are $12 each and they

make me smile!

I contacted Tania from indobay inc a month ago to ask her about making some 

of her beautiful felt banners for Bella Vita.  They arrived this week and they are 

lovely!  I also LOVE the packaging.  You get white hemp twine and the cutest 

mini clothes pins to arrange your banner any way you like.  Thanks Tania for 

being so wonderful to work with.  I look forward to working with you in the 

near future.  Happy Holidays!
