Let the Holiday Shopping Season Begin

Next Friday is Black Friday - the biggest shopping day of the year and what some call the "official" day of the shopping season. I agree with that, but also believe that this weekend has been quite busy as well. As I prepare to work my retail job during this busy week, I hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday and if you do go out to shop on Black Friday, be safe and find good deals!

A Glimpse into my Holidays

I managed to not be scheduled a whole bunch at my job this holiday season, so I got to spend a lot of time with both sides of my family. Here are just a few shots I got of my imediate family and my cute little niece, Brooklyn.

This week's featured shop is Always Amy.

This shop is just awesome! From pins and brooches to rings and necklaces, there is something to meet the needs of anyone that likes unique and exciting accessories!

The prices are incredible and you even have the option of turning stud earrings into bobby pins, rings, or brooches if you'd like. Everything is so fun in this shop and there are even cute holiday inspired items too. Like the Santa's Little Helpers Penguin bobby pins featured in the picture to the left. With such a wide selection, you'll have a hard time narrowing down just one item!

I personally know this husband and wife team because I went to school with their son. They are from my local state of Georgia and have lots of really unique items to offer. From original sculptures to pysanky art pins, earrings, and ornaments, there is always something really cool to purchase.

Just in time for the holidays, this red reindeer egg ornament is the perfect edition to your Christmas tree decorations!
