HaBO: Advertising Firm for and by Women

Aug 03, 2019 10:00 am | Amanda



This HaBO request is from Robin, who is looking for this contemporary romance:

This has been driving me crazy. It’s an older book, maybe a series book.

It’s about a woman who grew up with an abusive father. Now she owns a woman run advertising company and works mostly with women clients. A man hires the firm and wants her to handle an account. Then he wants to date her. He is persistent until he breaks through and begins to discover the past events that affect her.

I want to say it’s old Barbara Delinsky or Sandra Brown.

Ring any bells?

My Weird and Wonderful Wishlist

Aug 03, 2019 04:00 am | Amanda



Last month, Sarah post some great bookish items and jewelry from her Etsy wishlist. I immediately sent her a message about how vastly different our wishlist items are. There is no method to my madness when it comes to saving things. I’ve got plushie moths, Dolly Parton artwork, and vintage plates that have been decorated with images of David Bowie.

Sometimes the internet is great.

Here are a handful of items from my very own Etsy wishlist and I think they perfectly capture my varying hobbies and interests.

NB: the links herein are affiliate-coded, which means a portion of any purchase comes back to the site (thanks!) at no extra cost to you. If you use them, great! And if not, no worries!

Geometric raccoon cross stitch pattern

Geometric Raccoon Cross Stitch Pattern from Velvet Pony Design ($6)

Looking for some great cross stitch patterns? Etsy has a ton of wonderful artists with their own unique styles. Velvet Pony Design has a lot of animal patterns and even sells complete kits.

Home is Where the Pants Aren't cross stitch patternHome is Where the Pants Aren’t Cross Stitch Pattern from Plastic Little Covers ($4.68)

I have purchased and stitched several projects from Plastic Little Covers, and Sarah even gifted me a cross stitch she completed from this shop! Many of the patterns have a floral design with a quote. (Sarah: I’ve also stitched this exact pattern. It’s lovely.)

Enamel pin of a stack of books

Books are a Gift Enamel Pin from Icey Designs ($9.85)

I have an extensive enamel pin collection and I’m always on the hunt for more! Icey Designs is mainly known for their book-themed candles, but they have other swag too.

Rain Cloud wooden pin

Rain Cloud Pin from Jesiii ($14)

This pin is actually laser cut wood. There’s also a magnet variation. Jesiii’s shop is so colorful. Just looking at the items makes me feel happy.

Am I Truly the Last print. From the Last Unicorn. A woman in a purple dress sits on a gilded chair. A white unicorn rests at her feet.

Am I Truly the Last Print from Megan Lara Art ($10+)

Megan Lara’s art is AH-MAZ-ING! It’s quite possible you’ve seen some already. This is one of my favorite prints because whoa, that color palette.

Lumberjack wax melts in a plastic clamshell case with a flannel print label.

Lumberjack Soy Vegan Wax Melts from In the Wick of Time ($6.50)

I love candles and wax melts and making my apartment smell like a cozy wooden cabin. The description: “I designed this candle to smell like a sexy lumberjack.”

Rose Quartz drop earrings with dangling leaves

Rose Quartz Drop Earrings from The Gem Maker ($84.88)

These aren’t cheap, but a girl can dream! I love the raw gemstone look. Normally, I exclusively wear stud earrings, but I’ve been slowing trying out different drop-styles lately.

Get Out wire ring set

Get Out Adjustable Wire Ring Set from Wire Boutique 2012 ($16.99)

For Christmas, one of my wonderful roommates gifted me a necklace from this shop that said “Girl Gang.” I love it and I’ve wanted to add more pieces ever since.

Broccoli Sheep Doll. A sheep doll that looks like a head of broccoli.

Broccoli Sheep Art Doll from Chercheto ($170)

This is literally the weirdest thing on my wishlist and I love it so much. The artist makes these bizarre fantasy creatures and I want to own all of them. They’re like if Tim Burton combined with Pokemon.

What have you added to your Etsy wishlist recently? Do you also want a Broccoli Sheep doll?
