Let Me Do The Shopping!

Hi there pretty people! My friend Emily over @ The Object Enthusiast shared a few sweet words about her personal shopping experience with moi at the helm. I had so much shopping for Emily and I am happy that she loved her items. Read her post here and if you didn't know Emily is a talented ceramics artist who you need in your life. I did a post on a ceramic jewelry box that I purchased from her and am in absolute love with! If you are looking for those pieces that you will be able to love and pass down generation-to-generation then Emily is your girl.

 Here is a little sampling of Emily's work:

If you want an international vintage shopping trip, but can't afford the plane ticket then just let me take care of it. All you need to do is send me those measurements and consider me your girl. ;)

Guest Blog Post: Favorite Object

Hi everyone! 

Recently my friend Emily from TheObject Enthusiast asked me to do a guest blog post for her favorite object blog series. I chose a music box that my grandmother had given me when I was just a little girl. I am really happy with how the blog post turned out, so if you want to give it a look head over to Emily’s blog and let us know what you think. :)

Also, if you are looking for amazing handmade ceramics Emily’s shop is your new best friend!
Emily runs a ceramic shop on Etsy and you can visit her shop, here, and her lifestyle blog, here.

Here is a little sample of her creative skills!

 

Fashion Friend: Emily Reinhardt's Outfit of the Day

I chose this outfit for a day of thrifting and seeking out second hand treasures with my friend Jen Spring. We took the non-traditional Black Friday shopping route, avoiding those stores with crazy flat screen tv deals and equally crazy shoppers. She has ignited this desire in me to find the best deals and to shop as wisely and frugally as possible.

I found a 13-piece set of brown glass tumblers in various sizes for $7, a wood framed small mirror for the wall for $3, a bronze flower/succulent pot for $6.50, and cloth napkins for $1.00 each. For just about $20 I had my arms full of treasures that truly get my heart beating. I love treasure hunting, especially when it's time spent with a good friend.

My skirt came from Zara (www.zara.com), a store I fell in love with in Washington, D.C. during a sidewalk sale. My shirt and blazer are both from H & M (http://www.hm.com) and my flats are the Gap (www.gap.com) city flats - my absolute favorite flat! So comfortable, and I now own a wide range of colors! I've never been much of a necklace girl, so pinning a mini flower pom from ban.do (www.shopbando.com) right onto my shirt is the perfect accessory for me. Makes me feel extra fancy! Like it's a real boutonniere! My jade ring was made by Debbie Carlos (http://www.etsy.com/shop/shopahc) and she and I worked out a little trade, so it cost me a few ceramic plates, and that's it!

The Object Enthusiast

My friend Emily Reinhardt is the talented owner of the Etsy shop The Object Enthusiast, and her ceramic work is simply amazing! I love how Emily is able to put her whole heart into her work, an ability that is able to transform an everyday object such as a jewelry box into a treasured keepsake.

Emily's work reminds me of Kansas, where she and I met while we attended Kansas State University and worked at a local organic co-op (totally hippy and awesome). Emily was always a spot of sunshine at the co-op with a kind word and a warm smile for everyone, and I loved working with her. I have random bouts of homesickness....yes, Kansas is definitely home to me now, and when I saw this beautiful jewelry box in Emily's shop I was instantly reminded of home.

I had to have it!

I was in love from the moment that I lifted this little treasure out of its box and I knew the perfect thing to keep in it. My wedding and engagement rings. When I look at this jewelry box I am instantly reminded of the sense of love, community, and acceptance I experienced while a student at Kansas State. Emily's love and careful attention to detail are present in the craftsmanship and quality of this darling little addition to my bedroom.

Also, I wholeheartedly encourage you to stop by her Etsy shop, The Object Enthusiast, for more beautiful ceramic work.
