For this edition of Handmade Holidays, I wanted to highlight my lovely November Sponsors: Cat of BrideBlu and Fatima of Flowers From Fatima! These ladies are so sweet and make absolutely gorgeous jewelry and hair accessories! You should definitely check out my picks below and their etsy shops- any of these pieces would make a beautiful handmade gift for a special woman in your life =)
(Images from their etsy shops- click pictures for links!)
Happy Thanksgiving to all those who are celebrating! Also, don’t forget to check back on Friday for a special Black Friday/Cyber Monday discount code to my etsy shop!
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]
