Jewelis Designs

What talent lies within our crazy city! Here are my tasty finds for today. These mini masterpieces are from Jewelis Designs, and they rock the hizzy.

Crikey!!

How fun is this slithery reptilious scarf? To me it says, "I'm practical about my warmth, but I still like to party." You can find the Vasquez Gator Scarf, along with a slew of other road kill neck wraps at Hello Lucky online, or off of Studewood Street.

Trend Watch: Let It Snow Houston!

Houstonians only see snow once in a blue moon, but thanks to a reemerging trend, we can see it all year long. That's right, the good old fashioned snow globe is all over the map this season. Supposedly originating in France in the 1800's, they didn't become popular in the U.S. until the 1920's. Ever since then, snow globes have ping ponged between being a luxury item and being in the "touristy souvenir" category. However, this year snow globes are on like Donkey Kong. They are popping up in some of my favorite shops, and adorning the homes of design trackers across the globe.

One Eyed,One Horned, Crocheted People Eater

This little creature put me in my happy place today. Otis the one eyed monster is just one of the many wonderfully kooky creations by Susan at Barking Dog Designs. If you need a one-of-a-kind gift for a little one this holiday season, be sure to visit her Etsy page and support our local artisans!

The Flu is Coming!!

Well, not really. But it got your attention didn't it? If the flu really is coming to a neighborhood near you, the evil genius that is google will give you a heads up. Google Flu trends tracks the path of the influenza virus across the U.S. based on what people are googling, and where they are googling from. Don't worry, the entire state of Texas is completely in the clear...for now.
